I'm having a Cerec all ceramic crown being placed on #12 next week
(I'm wearing the temp now). This is a Cerec Inlab crown, where the
Doc took a standard impression, not one done same day in the dentists
office.

Question for Docs or lab techs. Re: the most common cement(s) used
for this type of crown, what is the setting time. Are we talking a few
minutes, 10 minutes? IOW, how long should I wait after the crown is
place before I can eat or drink. Thanks for info.

I always tell my patients not to chew anything before they get outside,
since I don't want crumbs on the floor of my office.

Should have been explained or at least asked at the dental office.

(Glad it's bobKK47 instead of bobAK47 <G>)
