Full Cast Restorations:
Timeless Durability and Precision
Full cast restorations, crafted entirely from metal, are a proven and reliable choice in restorative dentistry. Known for their exceptional strength, longevity, and precise fit, full cast crowns and bridges are particularly suited for posterior regions where durability takes precedence over esthetics.
Key Features:
- Unmatched Strength: Full cast restorations resist chipping, cracking, and wear, making them ideal for patients with heavy occlusion or bruxism.
- Proven Longevity: With a track record of decades of clinical success, full cast restorations remain one of the most durable options available.
- Precision Fit: Fabricated using advanced CAD/CAM technology or traditional methods, these restorations ensure an accurate and comfortable fit.
- Biocompatibility Options: Available in high noble, noble, and base metal alloys, full cast restorations can be customized for optimal tissue compatibility and patient needs.
- Low Wear on Opposing Teeth: Polished surfaces minimize wear on natural dentition, ensuring long-term function and comfort.
Applications:
- Crowns for posterior teeth
- Long-span bridges
- Cases requiring maximum durability
- Restorations for bruxism patients
Advantages of Full Cast Restorations:
- Cost-effective for posterior restorations
- Highly resistant to corrosion and tarnish
- Minimal tooth reduction required for preparation
Considerations:
While full cast restorations prioritize strength and function, they lack the esthetic appeal of tooth-colored materials. They are typically used in non-visible areas of the mouth where durability is critical.
