industry news CrownMen Gives Away Apple Products CrownMen is giving away Apple products – such as iPod Shuffle, iPad or MacBook Air – to first-time refining customers; the exact product depends on the size of the lot. Opened in 2012, CrownMen is a precious metal refining company based in Naples, Florida. “We work with a proprietary technology that uses magnets, frequencies and high temperatures to ensure a maximum amount of precious metal is recovered,” says Director of Operations, Ron Abboud, who learned the refining business from his grandfather in 1984. The company offers free pickup and delivery and 72-hour turnaround time on payout; payout percentages are 98 percent on spot price of gold, 90 percent on silver and 85 percent on palladium.

BIOMET 3i and 3M ESPE are utilizing the BellaTek Encode Impression System (BIOMET 3i) and True Definition Scanner (3M ESPE) to create customized abutments using inta-oral impressions, resulting in simplified aesthetic restorations. These combined technologies will allow clinicians to make a digital impression of a healing abutment with the use of the 3M True Definition Scanner, which will scan embedded codes on the occlusal surface of the abutment, surrounding soft tissue and adjacent dentition. These codes will provide the necessary information to design and mill the definitive abutment, a process handled supragingivally by utilizing the BellaTek Encode Impression System. No removal of the healing abutment is required to create the scan. To learn more, visit Biomet3i.com or 3MESPE.com.
