PFM (Porcelain Fused Metal)

 

At ROE, our PFM crowns utilize over twenty years of CAD/CAM innovation since 2004, with sophisticated software that automatically computes cement space, detects margins, and optimizes porcelain support for superior clinical outcomes. 

Our sophisticated software automatically computes optimal cement space, detects margins, identifies undercuts, and optimizes porcelain support for superior clinical outcomes with unprecedented precision and exceptional internal fit accuracy.

We offer Cobalt Chrome as an excellent biocompatible alloy alternative, free from nickel and beryllium, while our advanced milling produces extremely precise margins and eliminates traditional casting variables.

This digital approach delivers unprecedented accuracy, exceptional internal fit, and enhanced porcelain support backed by two decades of proven results for predictable, natural-looking restorations.

Clinical Benefits of a PFM Crown

 

  • Superior Marginal Precision – CAD/CAM design delivers unprecedented accuracy at restoration margins for excellent fit and seal
  • Exceptional Internal Fit – Digital fabrication ensures optimal internal adaptation, reducing microleakage and secondary decay risk
  • Enhanced Porcelain Support – Strategically optimized coping design provides superior porcelain retention and natural aesthetics
  • Biocompatible Metal Options – Cobalt Chrome alloy is nickel and beryllium-free, reducing allergic reaction concerns
  • Optimal Cement Space – Automated software calculation ensures proper cement film thickness for ideal retention
  • Conventional Cementation – Compatible with standard cementation protocols for simplified delivery
  • Predictable Clinical Outcomes – Digital design eliminates traditional casting variables for consistent, reliable results
  • Porosity-Free Copings – Advanced milling technology eliminates casting defects and ensures structural integrity
  • Proven Durability – Metal substructure provides exceptional strength for high-stress posterior applications
  • Natural Appearance – Enhanced porcelain support enables lifelike aesthetics and proper color development
  • Reduced Chair Time – Precise fit minimizes adjustment time during delivery appointments
  • Long-Term Reliability – Two decades of proven CAD/CAM results demonstrate consistent clinical success
