Captek is a high-gold, high-strength material with a porcelain bond strength that exceeds that of traditional cast alloys. Captek can be
used for both single units and multiple unit bridges. Furthermore there are no special chair-side or
bonding techniques required. The esthetic benefits are overwhelming. Gold offers superior biocompatibility and
prevents the gray margins seen with traditional restorations. Captek's patented advanced gold material
enables produces a crown that will look natural at the gum line, eliminating any
unsightly gray or black lines commonly associated with traditional crowns.
Clinicians have observed that tooth
surfaces restored with Captek appear
relatively plaque free and are associated
with healthier periodontal tissue. Bacteria
in the mouth can result in periodontal
disease, bad breath, heart disease, lung
infections and even a weakened immune
system. Captek's advanced gold material
reduces the accumulation of harmful
bacteria at the gum line by 90%
compared to natural tooth structure.
The light-dispersion effects of Captek
Crowns and Bridges are designed to
mimic those of healthy natural tooth
structure. Captek is also ideal for matching
natural tooth color following whitening
procedures.
Captek Crowns and Bridges were proven
to be exceptionally strong and durable. The exceptional physical properties of
the advanced gold material are derived from the patented reinforcing internal
structure of Captek. This structure is designed to reduce the stresses between
the porcelain and Captek gold.
