Titanium-porcelain crowns / bridges by CAD-CAM technology
Titanium Porcelain is matched to the specific material properties of titanium. The inherent versatile properties of titanium provide an incredibly biocompatible, corrosion-resistant coping that is lightweight, hypo-allergenic, mechanically strong (Vicker's hardness of 180-250, degree 1-4) and has low thermal conductivity.
Because the pure titanium is characterized with good biological compatibility, titanium is widely applied into the area of clinical science. In dentistry, the application is mainly as implant body, pure titanium removable partial denture and titanium alloy porcelain laminates, etc.
At Bangkok Smile Dental Clinic, we use the latest 3D CAD-CAM system to mill the medical-graded titanium for use as the framework for crowns, bridges and implant works. Our results are consistently impressive convincing our clients of the quality and sustainability of the technology.
The pure Titanium is a superior dental solution for the following reasons :
- A titanium casting is totally bio-compatible
- Titanium castings are over 35% lighter than chrome castings
- Extremely low metal contraction results in a precision fit
- The physical properties of titanium enable clasp placement in a deeper undercut resulting in a more aesthetic restoration
- Titanium has very low thermal conductivity. Hot and cold food can be enjoyed without worrying about the discomfort of temperature shock
- Food and drink is unaffected by a ‘metallic taste’ due to titanium’s remarkable physical neutrality
- Titanium is very high corrosion-resistance. Very little thermal irritation of the vital hard and soft tissues
