3. Aesthetics
The aesthetics of semi-precious PFM restorations are provided by the dental porcelain veneering over the selected palladium-based metal framework.
1) Tooth-Colored Porcelain
Dental porcelain forms the visible external surface of the PFM restoration.
2) Shade Selection
The porcelain shade is specified according to the prescription and the surrounding dentition.
3) Tooth Morphology
The visible tooth form can be shaped according to the restored tooth and adjacent dentition.
4) Surface Anatomy
External contours and surface anatomy are designed according to the tooth form and restorative requirements.
Order FAQs
1. What is the difference between Pd-Ag PFM, Pd-Cu PFM and Pd-Co PFM?
The main difference is the palladium-based framework alloy. Pd-Ag PFM uses a palladium-silver alloy, Pd-Cu PFM uses a palladium-copper alloy, and Pd-Co PFM uses a palladium-cobalt alloy. All three use dental porcelain as the veneering material.
2. How do I choose the appropriate semi-precious PFM model?
The model should be selected according to the framework material specified in the clinical prescription. The required alloy should be clearly indicated when ordering.
3. Can semi-precious PFM be used for both crowns and bridges?
Yes. Suitable for single crowns and short‑span bridges per restoration design and clinical prescription. Not intended for long‑span bridges
4. Can I specify the framework alloy when ordering?
Yes. The order can specify Pd-Ag, Pd-Cu or Pd-Co according to the material requirement of the case.
5. Can the tooth morphology be customized?
Yes. The visible tooth form and surface anatomy can be designed according to the restored tooth, adjacent dentition and prescription.
6. What information should I provide when ordering a semi-precious PFM?
The order should include the tooth numbers, restoration type, selected framework alloy, shade and any relevant clinical or design instructions.
