CAPTEK
is an advanced metallurgic technology
for producing high hold metal
substructures for crowns and
bridges. It is an internally
reinforced gold material that
exhibits both the color and
workability, and nobility of
pure gold along with the strength
and stability of the platinum/palladium
family of cast alloy.
CAPTEK is an advanced metallurgic
technology that employs capillary
action to produce precision
fitting copings for all conventional
crowns, bridges, inlays and
onlays. Benefits include outstanding
aesthetics, high biocompatibility,
exceptional strength and excellent
bond capabilities.
CAPTEK is a composite metal
alloy, comprising 88% gold and
9% platinum group metals, exhibiting
the colour, workability and
nobility of pure gold along
with the strength and stability
of the platinum/palladium family
of cast alloys.
As the CAPTEK coping is fired,
molecular particles join to
create a three-dimensional network
of capillaries, in the same
physical phenomenon that brings
water from the roots to the
leaves of a tree. This highly
dense, capillaceous coping is
then ready for porcelain application.
