Metal-free prosthetics — dental implants and restorations

The trend is towards metal-free, well-tolerated, biocompatible materials such as all-ceramics.

Crowns and pontics in all-ceramic zirconia

Metal-free

Restorations entirely without metal

The medical and aesthetic demands placed on restorations keep rising, and the latest applications are becoming ever more complex and versatile. Implant prosthetics offers a broad range of applications, from single-tooth restorations to multi-unit bridges and bridges spanning a whole arch.

CAD/CAM technology and new metal-free ceramic materials make it possible to produce these long-span bridges with a highly predictable result.

Biocompatible all-ceramics

The trend is towards metal-free, well-tolerated and biocompatible materials, and all-ceramics play an ever more important part. As a material, zirconia has outstanding properties and convinces through individual shape and colour together with the greatest stability. It is suited to demanding aesthetic restorations.

This completely metal-free, biocompatible material is ideal for patients who set great store by a metal-free restoration or who are prone to hypersensitivity reactions.

Answered briefly

Frequently asked questions

Is there a restoration entirely without metal?

Yes. All-ceramic zirconium oxide needs no metal framework and is suitable for crowns, bridges and implant abutments.

Is all-ceramic as strong as metal-ceramic?

For most restorations, yes. All-ceramic is now also used for multi-unit bridges. Whether it will hold in your case depends on the findings.

Who is metal-free restoration suitable for?

Above all for patients who react sensitively to metals in the mouth, and wherever appearance matters – tooth-coloured ceramic looks more natural in the visible area.
