PFM – Porcelain Fused Metal Dental Crown

PFM (Porcelain Fused Metal) dental crowns are designed with a durable metal structure and a porcelain overlay on the surface. These crowns offer excellent strength, wear resistance, and enhanced aesthetics, providing a natural appearance. PFM crowns are the ideal choice for restorations in the posterior region and anywhere within the dental arch.

Key Features

• Durable Metal Structure: Provides exceptional strength, making it ideal for posterior restorations and high-stress areas of the dental arch.

• Natural Appearance: The porcelain overlay offers a natural, aesthetic look, mimicking the translucency and color of natural teeth.

• Long-Term Durability: Designed to withstand wear and pressure over time, ensuring long-lasting durability and stable function.

• Superior Marginal Integrity: Ensures a precise and secure fit, enhancing the overall performance of the crown.

Material Benefits & Evaluation

• Strength: The metal structure provides excellent durability and fracture resistance, making it suitable for both functional applications and high-stress areas.
