Aesthetics and biocompatibility: strong, electroformed, pure gold for PFM crowns and bridges

Dent Today. 2000 Aug;19(8):80-3.

Abstract

The plethora of base-mental alloys and metal-free restorations and ever rising cost of palladium alloys has given this full-feature PFM system a definite place in modern dentistry. Thanks to the minimum tooth reduction necessary, GES PureGold has a number of clinical and aesthetic advantages. The system's gold substructures are my choice because they provide natural color beneath ceramics, a high degree of biocompatibility, and exquisite marginal integrity.
