PORCELAIN FUSED TO METAL
Description
Principal Uses
Durability
Resistance to Wear
Resistance to Fracture
Biocompatibility
Aesthetics
Porcelain fused to an underlying metal structure to provide strength to a filling
Crowns and Bridges
Very strong and durable
Highly resistant to wear, but porcelain can rapidly wear opposing teeth if its surface becomes rough
Porcelain is prone to impact fracture; the metal has high strength
Well tolerated, but some patients may show allergenic sensitivity to base metals
Porcelain can mimic natural tooth appearance but metal limits translucency

PRECIOUS
Alloy of gold, copper and other metals resulting in a strong, effective filling, crown or bridge.
Inlays, onlays, crowns and fixed bridges
High corrosion resistance prevents tarnishing; high strength and toughness resist fracture and wear
Resistant to wear and gentle to opposing teeth
Highly resistant to fracture
Well tolerated
Metal colours do not mimic natural teeth
NON-PRECIOUS
Alloy of non-noble metals with silver appearance resulting in high strength crowns and bridges
Crowns, fixed bridges and partial dentures
High corrosion resistance prevents tarnishing; high strength and toughness resist fracture and wear
Resistant to wear and gentle to opposing teeth
Highly resistant to fracture
Well tolerated but some patients may show allergenic sensitivity to base metals
Metal colours do not mimic natural teeth
