Crown and Bridge Materials
Crown and Bridge Materials
Lab technicians rely on a variety of materials and techniques to create high-quality indirect restorations, including layered and pressed ceramic processes, as well as CAD/CAM milling. Along with crowns and bridges, these fixed restorations can include inlays, onlays and veneers.
What Types of Crown and Bridge Materials Are Available?
Materials used for lab fabricated indirect fixed restorations include
ceramic systems
that can be pressed for full contour use or layered on top of a substructure;
investment materials
, which are used to cast precise metal parts;
casting waxes
for use in the creation of cast metal parts and pressed ceramic restorations;
indirect resin restorative materials
for sculpting restorations and blocking out undercuts; and
stain and glaze materials
for finishing fixed restorations.
What Should I Consider When Selecting Crown and Bridge Materials?
Look for strong, long-lasting materials that offer the desired esthetics. Many crown and bridge materials require specialized equipment for processing. Make sure you are equipped to work with a new material and understand the techniques it requires before bringing any new system into your lab. Be sure to purchase materials from a reputable company that stands behind their products.
