Procera^® "QUESTIONS & ANSWERS"

 Is the Procera AllCeram restoration radiopaque or radiolucent?  Procera^®   AllCeram restorations are both radiopaque and radiolucent.  In other words you can x-ray through the restoration but the coping is slightly visible in the x-ray.

Are these copings strong enough to do a coping try-in?  Yes! Of course, since the copings are so thin, small and hard, they should be handled with care.  It is important to remember that if adjustments are ever necessary, use a diamond with good water irrigation.

Can Procera AllCeram restorations be used in the posterior region of the mouth?  Yes! Procera AllCeram restorations can be placed anywhere in the mouth.  The material has more than twice the flexural strength of the strongest of the all ceramic alternatives.

What shade guide should I use when recording my patient's shade for Procera restorations? Procera porcelain is keyed to the most popular shade guide used today...the Vita Shade guide.

Is metal used in the fabrication of Procera AllCeram? The coping is made of 99.5% pure densely sintered aluminum oxide, a proven biocompatible material also used for surgical implants by medical professionals. Wear studies conducted in Sweden and the USA show the material to be more comfortable for the patient and easier polishing for the clinician should occlusal adjustments be necessary.
