Intended Use

AGC Speziallegierung is a gold-platinum ceramic alloy that can be used by dental technicians to fabricate dental appliances for patients. It is intended for manufacturing • Inlays/Onlays • Crowns • Short span bridges • Long span bridges • Pontics for AGC bridges • Removable partials and can be used for • Telescopic and milling work AGC Speziallegierung can be veneered with suitable dental ceramics as well as with dental-composites.

Device Story

AGC Speziallegierung is a gold-platinum ceramic alloy (97.5% noble metal content) used by dental technicians in a laboratory setting to fabricate dental restorations. The alloy is processed by technicians to create inlays, onlays, crowns, bridges, and removable partials. It is free of copper and designed for veneering with dental ceramics or composites. The golden yellow color provides an aesthetic base for restorations. The final device is placed in the patient's mouth by a dentist to restore function and aesthetics. The alloy's high noble metal content provides corrosion resistance and biocompatibility.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. The device complies with international standard ISO 9693 for dental ceramic fused to metal restorative materials.

Technological Characteristics

Gold-platinum ceramic alloy; 97.5% noble metal content; copper-free. Complies with ISO 9693. Formulated for veneering with dental ceramics or composites. Suitable for telescopic and milling applications.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients requiring dental restorations including inlays, onlays, single crowns, short and long span bridges, pontics, and removable partials, as well as telescopic and milling work, fabricated by dental technicians.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A noble metal alloy is a device composed primarily of noble metals, such as gold, palladium, platinum, or silver, that is intended for use in the fabrication of cast or porcelain-fused-to-metal crown and bridge restorations.
