Procera® AllTitan


Procera® AllTitan was the initial restorations to be produced by the Procera® System. A stone die or replica of the prepared natural tooth was scanned using the Procera® Scanner, and the data transferred to the computer were used in the design process to develop specific characteristics for the coping. The coping was produced in titanium using electric discharge machining and copy milling techniques to create the restoration substructure, and a veneer material of low-fusing porcelain was added to the coping to create the anatomical and occlusal requirements in the restoration. Today, the Procera® AllTitan unit is produced by Nobel Biocare at their manufacturing facilities using the pressed powder technique similar to all of the individual Procera® System copings. Multiple Procera® AllTitan copings have been used to fabricate the titanium substructure for a fixed bridge restoration. In this situation, the titanium units and a titanium pontic are laser welded together to form the multi-unit restoration. A number of studies involving the Procera® AllTitan Crowns and Bridges have been conducted by the Center.
