Description

PFM in Dentistry is a cornerstone in dental restorations, offering a blend of strength and aesthetic appeal. This type of restoration combines the durability of metal with the natural appearance of porcelain, making it an ideal choice for patients looking for reliable and cosmetically pleasing dental solutions.

1. Composition and Production of PFM in Dentistry

Material Selection

PFM in Dentistry features a robust metal alloy base, typically made from high-quality materials like cobalt-chromium (Co-Cr) alloy or gold. Dentists choose these metals for their superior strength and compatibility with dental applications, providing a sturdy foundation for the porcelain overlay. Gold is especially valued for its excellent biocompatibility and corrosion resistance, while cobalt-chromium is favored for its durability and high resistance to wear.

Advanced Fabrication Techniques

At Hecheng, we utilize the latest technological advancements in dental manufacturing, including advanced five-axis zirconia cutting lathes and 3D metal printers. These state-of-the-art tools allow for precision machining of the metal substructures, ensuring a perfect fit with the patient’s dental contours. The five-axis zirconia cutting lathes provide unparalleled accuracy in shaping the zirconia, allowing for detailed customization that closely mimics natural tooth structures.

The use of 3D metal printing technology enables us to layer the metal precisely, providing a framework that is both lightweight and strong. This process not only enhances the fit and comfort of the final restoration but also optimizes the bonding surface for the porcelain, ensuring a strong, durable bond that enhances the structural integrity of the finished product.

2. Aesthetic and Functional Benefits of PFM in Dentistry

Aesthetic Integration

We also carefully choose the porcelain for PFM crowns and bridges to match natural teeth colors and translucency. This detail ensures the restorations blend seamlessly with the patient’s existing teeth. The porcelain is layered to mimic natural tooth enamel, from deep base hues to light-reflective surface shades.

Functional Reliability

PFM in Dentistry is known for both their beauty and strength. They are ideal for front and back teeth, handling the daily stress of chewing and biting. The metal base provides strong support and prevents fractures. The porcelain surface helps distribute forces evenly, protecting natural teeth from damage.

Longevity and Durability

The dual composition of metal and porcelain in PFMs offers a significant advantage in terms of longevity and durability. The strong metal base resists deformation and wear over time, while the hard porcelain surface resists abrasion and staining. This makes PFMs an excellent long-term solution for dental restoration, capable of maintaining their structural integrity and appearance for many years with proper care.

3. Customization and Precision in PFM Restorations

At Hecheng, we use advanced digital dental technologies for precise PFM in Dentistry. We utilize 3D digital design and printing to customize each restoration to fit the unique anatomy of the patient’s mouth. This process ensures an accurate fit and harmonious aesthetics with the patient’s natural teeth.

Enhanced Design Accuracy

Digital scans of the patient’s mouth provide a highly accurate model of their dental structure. This is essential for crafting PFMs that fit perfectly and look natural. These digital models help create restorations that are comfortable and improve the patient’s overall dental health.

Streamlined Production Process

Digital technology streamlines the production process, from initial design to final manufacturing. 3D printing of the metal substructures allows for complex geometries that were difficult or impossible to achieve with traditional methods. This precision contributes to a better integration of the porcelain layer, reducing the risk of delamination or fit issues and ensuring a superior final product.

4. Quality Assurance in Production

Our commitment to quality is unwavering, as demonstrated by our stringent adherence to ISO 13485, a critical standard in the medical device industry. This standard guides our production processes, ensuring systematic quality control at every step of manufacturing. The ISO 13485 certification is not merely a regulatory requirement but a backbone of our quality assurance strategy, which emphasizes risk management and consistent product performance.

Regulatory Compliance

All materials used in Hecheng’s PFMs are thoroughly tested and certified. They meet standards set by both domestic and international regulatory bodies. Our products have received the CE mark from the European Union. This certification confirms that our restorations meet high safety and quality standards. Then dental professionals and their patients can trust the integrity and durability of our products.
