side polishable.

precious metal bond.
- No need
to discuss different alloys.
- An ideal
solution for long term durability.
- High
flexural strength—less likely to fracture.
- Softer
surface—improved compatibility with the oral environment.
Advantages
for the patient
- Less
plaque accumulation—less chance of periodontal disease.
- Only
one alloy in the mouth—eliminates galvanic reaction/metal taste.
- High
aesthetics—looks like natural teeth.
- Biocompatible—no
risk of allergic reaction.
- Natural
wear rates—will not aggressively wear opposing teeth.
- High
noble gold alloy improves the gingival margin aesthetics.
- The crown
will increase in strength by 30% in the mouth.
Advantages
of construction
- Homogeneous
crystal distribution due to the special firing cycles.
- The crystal
structure reduces the chance of crack propagation.
- The porcelain
forms a hydroxyl layer that protects the porcelain from wear and the formation
of micro cracks, which are the start of porcelain fractures. When ground,
this layer will repair itself.
- In general,
over a three-year period, it has a 90% success rate as compared to normal
porcelain, which has a success rate of 70%.
- This
is an excellent crown and bridge material that when offered to the patients
should have a very high appeal factor. It is a product we have great faith
in and can only recommend in the strongest possible way.
- It almost
seems too good to be true, but it is a fabulous product.
CERGO
Duceragold
has now been upgraded with the introduction of "CERGO", an injection
moulded ceramic core. This is perfectly matched to the Duceragold porcelain
allowing the patient to have an all ceramic crown with all the benefits of the
low fusing porcelain. The injection moulding technique lends itself to all types
of ceramic restorations, from inlays, veneers and crowns. It compares well with
its rival ceramic competition.
SIMBIO
This is
a new version of Duceragold that can be used on normal bonded golds so the patient
can benefit from the advantages of the porcelain.
