Procera® 1 comment
Procera Alumina and Procera Zirconia offer you two proven all-ceramic restorations that combine the vital, translucent esthetics of an all-ceramic with the strength and durability of a PFM. The Procera system provides two levels of core selection and material strength – the original aluminum oxide core of 687 MPa’s of flexural strength
and the newer Zirconia core with 1158 MPa’s of flexural strength.
Procera Alumina is composed of densely sintered high-purity aluminum oxide that is available in two layers of thickness – .4mm for anteriors and .6mm for posteriors. Procera Zirconia, made of yttria stabilized zirconium (YSZ), provides almost twice the strength of the original alumina. In addition, it can be placed anywhere in the mouth and can accommodate bridges up to 14 units. For complete information, please refer to our Procera Tech Sheet.

The secret behind Procera All Ceram is its unique combination of strength and beauty. Over the last few years, new technology has made dental porcelain more practical. Until now, porcelain coated ceramic copings has been neither strong enough nor durable enough for widespread use.
Procera All Ceram combines excellent and profound strength with beautiful esthetics. The material consists of 99.5 percent pure aluminum oxide and is biocompatible, thereby ensuring excellent long-term esthetics. Procera All Ceram is translucent giving the tooth a natural appearance. At the same time Procera All Ceram is excellent for concealing underlying surfaces, such as amalgam and root fillings. This ceram is also customized but still industrially produced, ensuring predictable results. You should try quickly in your mouth with minimal adjustments.
With the strength in the core material, Procera All Ceram can be recommended for prosthetic reconstructions anywhere in the mouth. More and more patients are asking for constructions made of material not containing metal or other alloys. Procera All Ceram is made of bio-compatible material (comparable to Titanium) which minimizes the risk of allergic reactions. No need to worry about your allergies when you use Procera All Ceram. The translucent coping offers remarkable esthetic characteristics. When combined with Procera All Ceram Porcelain the advantages are clearly demonstrated. To recreate the beauty of natural your teeth, the porcelain has been formulated to make the most of the coping’s inherent potential and efficiency.
