Euro 45

Euro 45 is a hard, reduced-gold ceramic alloy. The degree of hardness together with excellent heat resistance make it ideal for fabricating accurately fitting casting objects, in particular for long-span restorations.

Indications*

Crowns
Telescope crowns, conus crowns
Bridges
Wide-span bridges
Cast posts / cores, bars, attachments
Implant-supported superstructures
Partial dentures
