Metal ceramics, or porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) restorations, are widely used in dental laboratories for crafting durable crowns and bridges. These restorations combine a strong metal alloy base (precious or non-precious) with a porcelain overlay that replicates the natural appearance of teeth.
The metal core ensures strength and durability, making PFMs ideal for posterior restorations, while the porcelain layer delivers esthetic appeal. Advanced digital technologies like CAD/CAM enhance the precision and efficiency of their fabrication.
Metal ceramics are versatile, suitable for single and multi-unit restorations.
