The predominantly base metal Colado CC cobalt-chromium alloy is the economical alternative to precious metal alloys. Colado CC is particularly suitable for ceramic and composite veneers.

Advantages

• Wide range of indications, especially suitable for implant superstructures and the press technique
• Outstanding bonding strength with veneering materials (ceramics and composites)
• Excellent melting and casting properties for a homogeneous microstructure
• Convenient handling and polishing properties
• Tested and certified biocompatibility (high corrosion resistance)
• Coordinated compatibility with the Ivoclar product system

Indications

• Single crowns
• Telescope and conus crowns
• Root canal posts
• Short- and long-span bridges
• Implant superstructures
• Model casts
