Aesthetic build-up and characterisation of PFM restorations
Technical Specifications
Firing Temperature: Approximately 900°C – 910°C (for standard dentine/body firing) [1, 2]
CTE Compatibility (Coefficient of Thermal Expansion): 13.4 – 14.5 × 10⁻⁶ K⁻¹ (25°C – 500°C) [1]
Alloy Compatibility: High tolerance for standard and biocompatible porcelain-bonding metal alloys, including high-noble, noble, and base-metal formulations containing up to 50% silver. [1, 2, 3, 4]
Matrix Structure: Homogeneously distributed leucite particles within a dual-frit glass structure, providing high color stability, resistance to vitrification, and reduced wear on opposing natural dentition.
