XL-X

Au (62.8%)-based dental casting alloy, Type 4

XL-X

XL-X is a gold-reduced, low-density casting alloy for economical use. Its composition gives this alloy a golden yellow colour and allows for a wide range of indications.

Indications*

  • Onlays, ¾ crowns, crowns
  • Telescope crowns, conus crowns
  • Bridges
  • Wide-span bridges
  • Cast posts / cores, bars, attachments
  • Implant-supported superstructures
  • Partial dentures
