Full-ceramic restorations
The Procera® AllCeram system offers dental laboratories a fast and inexpensive method of producing high-strength, full-ceramic restorations. The two-component system entails an industrially produced, sintered, aluminum-oxide coping, and AllCeram veneering material, a ceramic specifically designed to complement the coping.
Using a scanning system developed by Nobel Biocare, laboratories electronically transmit data taken from models or dies to a production facility in Stockholm, Sweden, where, in turn, CAD/CAM technology is used to manufacture copings offering an extraordinarily precise fit. Completed copings then are returned to the laboratory.
Next, the laboratory dental technician uses the AllCeram veneering porcelain to produce a restoration with brilliant color reproduction, high transparency, and a smooth surface, ensuring natural-wear characteristics. The completed restoration is comparable to natural dentition, providing high biocompatibility, high-corrosion resistance, and low-heat conductivity.
The AllCeram ceramic system is available in North America through Ney Dental Inc., a member of Degussa`s worldwide dental group.
