Wirobond® SG
Cobalt-chrome metal-ceramic alloy
- Nickel-and beryllium-free
- Reliable use even in problematic cases and restorations with large bridge spans
- Simple and reliable casting time recognition thanks to optimal silicon content
- Normal cooling facilitates economical and effective working
- Reliable metal-ceramic bond with no need for an additional, expensive bonder
- Biocompatible and corrosion-resistant
Safe dimensions in the non-precious metal-ceramic technique
As a Type 4 alloy Wirobond® SG ful ls all criteria of the ISO 22674 and ISO 9693-1 Standards.
The advantages for you:
- A wide range of dental restorations are covered with only one alloy, e.g. veneered crowns or removable partial dentures
- Due to the high strength of the alloy you are always on the safe side, even with problematic situations such as long-span bridges
Reliable processing
Wirobond® SG alloy contains silicon which ensures reduction of the oxidation during melting.
The advantages for you:
- Precise recognition of the casting point both with centrifugal casting machines and vacuum pressure casting machines, e.g. Nautilus® or Fornax®
- The very good flow behaviour ensures smooth and accurately fitting castings
- Easy casting and reliable further processing
Reliable porcelain veneering
Wirobond® SG can be veneered with composite or porcelain. All conventional veneering porcelains with corresponding CTE values can be used.
The advantages for you:
- Wirobond® SG allows normal cooling (depending on the porcelain) and provides effective, economic processing in the laboratory
- Reliable metal-ceramic bond without additional expensive bonder
- Minimises the risk of splitting off intraorally at a later date
Optimised for laser-welding technology
Wirobond® SG is ideal for laser-welding due to the optimal, carbon-free composition. Solder and welding joints can be polished very easily and are no longer visible after polishing.
The advantages for you:
- Reliable, durable and biocompatible joint when soldering and laser-welding
Biocompatibility
Wirobond® SG has excellent corrosion behaviour.
The advantages for you:
- No cytotoxic potential, no skin irritations or allergic sensitisation
- Safety for the dentist and patient
