The secret to the success of Captek™ is the advanced "Capillary Casting Technology" used to produce the gold coping for Captek crowns and bridges. The unique composite metal is 97% gold reinforced with small particles of high fusing and high strength platinum and palladium, resulting in a restoration with the vital and natural look of gold, the superior strength and durability of platinum and palladium and the extra benefit of reducing harmful bacteria around the gums.
With Captek you can have it all:
Health
Unique to Captek, the advanced gold material is proven to reduce the accumulation of harmful bacteria at the gum line by 90% compared to natural tooth structure.* Bacteria in the mouth can result in periodontal disease, bad breath, heart disease, lung infections and even a weakened immune system. No other restoration can help reduce these risks.
Strength
- The infusion of platinum and palladium into the gold produces an extremely dense and strong coping.
- Extreme bond strength between the porcelain and Captek gold reduces fractures.
Aesthetics
- The light dispersion effects of Captek are designed to mimic those of healthy natural tooth structure.
- Eliminates the black or gray margins associated with traditional PFMs.
Convenience
- Conventional PFM preparation.
- Cementable.
- Can be used for any configuration of bridges up to two consecutive pontics.
- Keller service and guarantee.
