Titanium Dental Restorations
KACDEDJA Dental Group
We are a dental laboratory that uses the latest technology to deliver dental restorations.
Titanium dental restorations are ideal because they provide patients with comfort and security while being lighter than even gold alloys. This lessens the potential for discomfort or irritation caused by sudden temperature shifts. An alternative to the traditional casting process, computer-aided milling can produce a substructure from a single piece of titanium, increasing the likelihood of a good fit and avoiding distortion.
When compared to other materials, why is titanium so much better for dental applications?
With a positive biological response when in touch with living tissues, it has found widespread use in the field of dentistry It has distinct advantages over other material used for dental bridges over implants or over natural teeth:
-It is biocompatible, has great corrosion resistance, and is mechanically strong. Titanium oxide develops a layer on the surface of the metal that insulates it from corrosion, while oxidation of steel leads to rust development
- Titanium bridges inserted in implants are lighter thank Co-Cr bridges. This maintain the strength and durability of the implant.
-Titanium, the alloy used to create bridges, is not easily broken. It is strong enough to gnaw through items that would break down traditional dentures.
-Flexibility .It is s also quite strong against bending (flexural strength) forces. Zirconia bridges, in comparison, have a lower flexural strength, making them more prone to fracture.
A materials biocompatibility determines how well it will function inside the human body.
