(capillary technology) offers dentists, laboratories and patients the beauty, health and longevity of gold crowns and bridgework. Its patented advanced gold material enables you to provide your patients with a crown that will look natural at the gum line, eliminating any unsightly gray or black lines commonly associated with traditional crowns. The light-dispersion effects of Captek crowns are designed to mimic those of healthy natural tooth structure.
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.
alloys are composed of 2 major components. The first component is a platinum and palladium mix that, when heated, forms a microscopic three-dimensional network of capillaries. The second component is 97.5% gold and 2/5% silver and, when melted, flows to fill these capillaries.
