Clinical & Technical Information
PFM crown is a fixed metal-ceramic restoration that combines a cast or digitally fabricated metal substructure with veneering porcelain. BestoDental provides multiple PFM crown alloy options and specialized designs to accommodate differences in material preference, tooth position, restorative requirements and removable partial denture applications.
1. Indications
Our PFM crown restorations are suitable for:
- Anterior and posterior single-crown restorations where a metal-ceramic restoration is clinically appropriate
- Cases requiring a combination of a metal framework and tooth-colored porcelain
- Restorations requiring different alloy options according to the prescription
- Cases requiring Co-Cr, Ni-Cr, titanium, semi-precious or high-noble metal frameworks
- Abutment teeth requiring a surveyed crown design for a removable partial denture
- Anterior cases requiring customized shade, morphology and incisal anatomy

3. Aesthetics
Aesthetics for our PFM crown restorations focus on controlling the porcelain contour, shade, tooth morphology and surface anatomy while maintaining the required metal framework design.
1) Tooth-Colored Porcelain
The porcelain veneering layer provides a tooth-colored external surface designed to reproduce the appearance of natural dentition.
2) Customized Shade
The porcelain shade can be selected according to the prescription and coordinated with the adjacent teeth and surrounding dentition.
3) Anterior Tooth Morphology
For anterior PFM crowns, the facial contour, incisal edge, line angles and surface anatomy can be customized according to the tooth position and adjacent dentition.
4) Porcelain-to-Metal Design
The porcelain layer is designed around the underlying metal framework to balance external contour, strength and available restorative space.
5) Customized Surface Anatomy
Surface texture, proximal contour and occlusal anatomy can be adjusted according to the tooth position and clinical requirements.
Order FAQs
1. What alloy options are available for a PFM crown?
BestoDental provides Co-Cr, Ni-Cr, titanium, semi-precious and high-noble PFM crown options. The appropriate alloy can be selected according to the prescription, restorative requirements and material preference.
2. What is the difference between Co-Cr and Ni-Cr PFM crowns?
Both are non-precious metal PFM options, but they use different alloy systems. Co-Cr is commonly selected for its combination of strength and corrosion resistance, while Ni-Cr can provide a practical and cost-conscious metal-ceramic option. Alloy selection should also consider the patient’s material history and clinical requirements.
3. When should I choose a semi-precious or high-noble PFM crown?
Semi-precious and high-noble PFM crowns are selected when the prescription calls for a noble-metal-containing framework. High-noble alloys contain a higher proportion of noble metals and may be preferred for cases with specific alloy requirements.
4. What information is required for a PFM surveyed crown?
In addition to the crown prescription, the laboratory should receive the relevant RPD design information, including the intended path of insertion, rest seat locations, guide plane requirements, clasp or retentive areas and other framework-related details.
5. Can the metal framework and porcelain contour be customized?
Yes. The framework design, porcelain contour and external crown morphology can be adjusted according to the preparation, available space, occlusion and clinical prescription.
6. Can the shade of a PFM crown be customized?
Yes. The required shade should be specified in the prescription. Anterior cases can also include additional information regarding translucency, incisal characteristics and adjacent tooth appearance when needed.
7. Can the occlusal and proximal contacts be customized?
Yes. Occlusal anatomy and proximal contacts can be customized according to the opposing dentition, adjacent teeth, preparation and restorative requirements.
