- Not recommended for anterior restorations where high aesthetics are required.
- Not indicated for patients with known sensitivities to specific metals.
Not recommended for crowns, bridges, or veneers in the aesthetic zone due to the material's opacity
• Occlusal/Incisal Reduction: 1.5 mm
• Facial/Lingual Reduction: 1.2 mm
• Cervical Reduction: 1.0 mm; however, a knife-edge margin preparation is acceptable.
• Full Cast Metal – High Noble Yellow
• Contains at least 60% noble metals, of which at least 40% must be gold.
• Considered the gold standard for long-term restorations in terms of durability and biocompatibility.
• Excellent marginal integrity – no risk of chipping or fracturing over time.
• Thermal expansion coefficient closely matches that of natural enamel
• Contains at least 60% noble metals (palladium, platinum), no gold content
• Silvery-white color – easy to blend with adjacent PFM or zirconia crowns
• Superior corrosion resistance – ideal for sensitive oral environments
• Excellent biocompatibility and long-lasting performance
• Contains a small amount of gold or palladium
• Better oxidation resistance than non-precious alloys
• Higher biocompatibility – reduces allergic reactions
• Balanced durability and affordability
• Cobalt-chromium or nickel-chromium base metals, no noble content
• High strength – ideal for long-span bridges or posterior crowns
• Cost-effective solution for temporary or permanent restorations
• Strong performance under heavy bite forces
