(Fig
1) Captek is a revolutionary new material that combines the very best in esthetics
with the very latest developments in strength, temperature stability, and
color.
Eliminates Gray Margins
Extreme Bond Strength
No Special Chairside Requirements
Advanced Gold Technology
(Fig
2) A schematic of the internal Captek structure shows a matrix of 97% gold
reinforced with small particles of a very high fusing and high strength platinum/palladium/gold
alloy.
CAPTEK is an advanced metallurgic technology
for producing high gold metal substructures for crowns and bridges.
It is an internally reinforced gold material that exhibits both the
color, workability, and nobility of pure gold along with the strength
and stability of the platinum/palladium family of cast alloy.
(Fig
3) Captek enjoys many advantages over other traditional PFM crowns, such as
color, biocompatability, oxidation, and grain size. Plus, it can be used for
a myriad of restorations.
