Pure Titallium Crown Full Cast Noble Metal Good Biocompatibility

Advantages                                                                                                                                          

 Superior fit.

When a "gold" (high-noble) dental alloy is chosen for an all-metal crown, no other type of restoration exceeds the crown-to-tooth fit that's possible.

• Precious alloys have characteristics that make them easy and predictable to work with during crown fabrication.

  ---

• And even if the dentist identifies a slight aspect of the crown's original fit that needs improvement, the malleable (pliant, workable) nature of a high-noble metal allows that an adjustment can be made.

  (In comparison, base-metals are considered fairly unworkable. Dental ceramics have no potential for this same type of adjustment.)

Disadvantages                                                                                                                                   

 Metal allergies.

About 10% of women and 5% of men experience an allergic response to nickel, chrome and/or beryllium. Base-metal dental alloys (see below) frequently contain these metals and for that reason may prove problematic for some patients.

The use of a high-noble ("gold") alloy instead of a base one may offer a solution. The more predictable alternative would be to place an all-ceramic (non-metallic) crown.

There are a number of types of alloys that can be used to make all-metal dental crowns. And each one has its own specific composition, and therefore its own unique physical properties, that makes it best suited for certain types of applications.
