SAPTeeth Dental Crown

Produces safe, biocompatible, aesthetic temporary prothesis that are required to be replaced by a higher performance polymer due to wear and tear. Indicated for use in mouth for less 2 years only.
It is a thermoplastic (T-) or a chemoplastic (C-) polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA). T-PMMA is produced using industrial polymerization procedure for producing high purity PMMA with a theoretic level of purity of 99.9%. The residual 0.1% is non-cytotoxic and is therefore harmless. While, C-PMMA is produced using a chain reaction which may generate free radicals. These radicals allow for formation of long chains polymers. They may trigger allergies and material in-tolerances.

Material properties:  

• Metal-free, polymer based, with limited shock absorbability and low wear resistance.
• Strength – > 65 mpa
• E- modulus – > 2800mpa
• Indicated wearing time – 6 months

Indications:
These prostheses have a high wear and tear and may cause discoloration when compared with the higher performance polymers. Still, they have a distinct advantage of reducing the load on the underlying structures under circumstances of heavy bite force, paan-supari habit, bruxism, health issues, clenching etc. They can be used as temporary prosthesis in such cases and repaired or replaced or upgraded when required.

It is a cross linked composite polymer that offers higher physical values than conventional PMMA. They are manufactured under controlled environment of high temperature and pressure. As there are no use of dental glass or light cured plastics, the colour retention and plaque resistance is comparable with ceramic restorations. They have been clinically proven and approved for over 9 years of wear-off use.

Advantages:

• Metal Free with approved expected life of 9 years of wear off capability
• Reduces the load on the joint to only about 4%.
• Plaque resistant, Aesthetic, translucent and opalescent

Material properties:

• Strength – > 120 mpa with minimal solubility in saliva
• E-modulus – > 2200 mpa

Indications:
Most versatile material. They can be used as permanent dental prosthesis with implant, natural tooth or both. They have an excellent gingival response and pressure absorbing capability.

They have the highest aesthetic retention and resistance to scratching and abrasion. It is a biocompatible polymer of polyether ketone and is strengthened using ceramic. They have been in use in-body Implantology for over 30 years (intervertebral discs, hip joints etc.). With the improvement by ceramic fillers these materials can now be used in dental applications especially as a framework.

Advantages of Royal Peek restorations:

• Unbeatable convenient processing.
• Maximum customizability.
• Cuts like dentin, conserving the antagonists.
• Optimal Osseointegration.
• Optimal gingival management.
• Longevity of the restoration.
• Natural oral feeling and chewing sensation.
• Natural aesthetics.
• Allows immediate restoration and one-time treatment.

Material properties:
Can be used as a permanent dental prosthetic framework for implant and natural tooth cases. They have excellent gingival management and pressure absorption.

• Flexural Strength – 180 mpa with almost no water solubility
• E-modulus – >4550 mpa
• Wear time 9 years

Class 1 photopolymers bio compatible resins which are built from additive laser process to delivery surgical guides, and splits which can be fitted as a framework or temporary supports. They are a Class I bio compatible resin (EN-ISO 10993-1:2009/AC:2010, USP Class VI) material. They are used in the dental industry by additive processes, hence allowing for construction of even the most complex prosthesis.

Indications:
They are used to create surgical guides and temporary splints. These materials can be sterilized in the autoclave.

Material properties:

• Strength – > 50 mpa
• E-modulus – > 1500 mpa

Advantages:

• Anti-allergic
• Non-metallic
• Complex prosthesis
• Surgical guides

A nano-reinforced biopolymer designed for permanent denture structures. It is made to improve the performance of the artificial teeth. Being reinforced with graphene sheets, which are lighter than carbon fibre & harder than steel. They are extremely natural in aesthetic appearance, as well as resolving all the mechanical, physiochemical and biological failures of the rest of the materials currently in use.

Material properties:

• Strength – >140 mpa
• E- modulus – >3200mpa
• Hardness – 88 shores
• Bridges of more than 2 missing teeth and complete prosthesis.

Indications:
Graphene being one of the most resistant materials known, it is indicated to provide greater flexibility, and reduced chances of breakages. Under the heavy bite force, paan- supari habit, bruxism, clenching etc., they can be used as long-term prosthesis in such cases and repaired or replaced when required.
