CAPTEK ™ is an advanced metallurgic technology for producing high gold metal substructures for crowns. It is an internally reinforced gold material that exhibits the color, workability, and nobility of pure gold along with the strength and stability of the platinum/palladium family of cast alloy.
CAPTEK's advantage:

Eliminates gray margins. The high nobility of the 97% pure gold matrix eliminates the grayish appearance and unaesthetic black lines that may result from the metal understructure of traditional ceramo-metal restorations.
  • Extreme bond strength. The exceptional physical properties of the advanced gold material are derived from the patented reinforcing internal structure of CAPTEK ™.

  • Improved gingival health. CAPTEK ™ crowns have been proven to reduce the accumulation of harmful bacteria at the gumline by 90% when compared to that of natural tooth structure.
 

  • 99.7% Gold High Noble Alloy
    The most biocompatible material with the longest documented clinical use.

  • University researched
    A study at Loma Linda University showed GOLDTECH BIO 2000™ accumulates less plaque than competing products.

  • Exceptional esthetics
    The deep gold color of the alloy eliminates shadows at the gingival margin and graying of the porcelain.

  • Outstanding Shade fidelity
    GOLDTECH BIO 2000™ can be cast to 0.2mm reserving more space for the porcelain.

  • Assured fit
    The reliability and precision of a cast alloy eliminates dependence on a duplicate die or a refractory model.

  • Margin preparation
    GOLDTECH BIO 2000™ can be used with all margin preparations.

  • Superior adhesion
    Porcelain bonds to the alloy without the uncertainty of using a separate bonding agent.

  • GOLDTECH BIO 2000™ is for single units and three unit bridges in
    segmants from the second bicuspid.

The new IPS d.SIGN porcelain is a milestone in the evolution of the metal-ceramic technology. This ceramic closely simulates the optical characteristics of natural tooth structure while providing maximum strength and durability. IPS d.SIGN ceramic comes closer to mimicking all of the properties of natural teeth than any other dental material to date.

IPS d.SIGN ceramic exhibits wear characteristics more comparable to natural enamel than other feldspathic ceramics. It will not aggressively wear opposing natural dentition.

The brilliance achieved with d.SIGN ceramic material is the result of its unique refractive index. The fluorapatite crystals scatter light within the ceramic in a way similar to that of hydroxyapatite crystals found in natural tooth structure. Its physical properties are stronger and more durable than the typical feldspathic porcelains.
