Do I need to pour the cast in a special die material?
No! Use whatever material you use everyday for crown and
bridge model work.
What
shade guide should I use when recording my patient's shade
for ProceraŽ restorations?
ProceraŽ porcelain is keyed to the VitaŽ Shade
guide.
PROCERAŽ
TOOTH PREPARATION CONTINUED -
Is the PROCERAŽ restoration
radiopaque or radiolucent?
ProceraŽ restorations are both radiopaque and radiolucent.
In other words, you can x-ray through the restoration
but the coping is slightly visible in the x-ray.
Are these copings strong enough
to do a coping try-in?
Yes! Of course, since the copings are so thin, small,
and hard they should be handled with care. It is important
to remember that if adjustments are ever necessary,
use a diamond with good water irrigation.
Can PROCERAŽ restorations
be used in the posterior region of the mouth?
Yes! ProceraŽ restorations can be placed anywhere
in the mouth. The material has more than twice the flexural
strength of the strongest of all ceramic alternatives.
Is metal used in the fabrication
of ProceraŽ?
The coping is made of 99.5% pure densely sintered aluminum
oxide, a proven biocompatible material also used for
surgical implants by medical professionals. The ProceraŽ
veneering ceramic is manufactured by Ducera, a leading
porcelain manufacturer. Wear studies conducted in Sweden
and the USA show the material to be 73% less wear abrasive
to opposing dentition compared to typical feldspathic
porcelains. This means more comfort for the patient
and easier polishing for the clinician should occlusal
adjustment be necessary.
