- Types of Semi-precious Crowns
Silver-Palladium Alloy Crown: Features a silver-palladium alloy base, providing durability and high strength, suitable for posterior restorations.
Partially Porcelain-Fused Semi-precious Crown: Has an exterior porcelain layer for a natural look, ideal for aesthetically demanding anterior restorations.
Multi-Alloy Combination Crown: Combines various semi-precious materials to optimize strength and aesthetics, suitable for diverse restoration needs.
2. Design Features & Benefits
Semi-precious crowns combine the durability of high-strength alloys with a naturally aesthetic appearance. Silver-palladium alloy provides good wear resistance and corrosion resistance, particularly suitable for posterior applications. The porcelain layer enhances the aesthetic effect in anterior areas, making semi-precious crowns an ideal choice for both function and beauty. Additionally, the metal composition offers excellent marginal sealing, effectively reducing plaque accumulation.
3. Materials & Technology, Manufacturing Process
Semi-precious crowns are made from silver-palladium alloys or other semi-precious materials, using CAD/CAM technology and precision casting to ensure marginal sealing and fit. The alloy materials are fired at high temperatures, increasing flexural strength and durability, providing patients with long-lasting restoration results.
4. Indicated Patients & Indications
Semi-precious crowns are ideal for:
- Patients needing high-bite-force posterior restorations
- Patients seeking both aesthetic and cost-effective solutions
- Patients without sensitivity to nickel, suitable for most clinical restorations
- Suitable for single crowns, bridges, and implant-supported restorations
5. Lifespan
With proper care and regular wear, semi-precious crowns typically last 15-30 years. The high-strength alloy material can remain stable in the high-wear environment of posterior areas, providing patients with a long-term, reliable restoration experience.
