Procera® Titanium Oxide

Procera® Titanium coping was the initial restorations to be produced by the Procera® System. A stone die or replica of the prepared natural tooth was scanned using the Procera® Scanner, and the data transferred to the computer were used in the design process to develop specific characteristics for the coping. Today, the Procera® Titanium coping is produced by Nobel Biocare at their manufacturing facilities using the pressed powder technique similar to all of the individual Procera® System copings. The coping is completed by the addition of a veneer material of low-fusing porcelain. Multiple Procera® Titanium copings have been used to fabricate the titanium substructure for a fixed bridge restoration. In this situation, the titanium units and a titanium pontic are laser welded together to form the multi-unit restoration. A number of studies involving the Procera® Titanium Crowns and Bridges have been conducted by the Center.
