FMC High Noble (Yellow Alloy)

 

The yellow gold if of the highest quality and durability. Gold is superior dental alloy utilized.

The gold alloy is composed of many different types of elements: noble metals: gold, platinum, palladium, silver, and base metals: copper, tin and others. The proper gold alloy should contain at least 60% noble metals.

 

 

Advantages of gold alloys:

  • Gold alloy never corrodes. Some metal alloys, under the influence of saliva, may suffer in time a phenomenon called corrosion. This may lead to the appearance of an unsightly grey coloration in the upper part of the dental crown.
  • Gold alloys has superior strength and resistance. The main advantage is that gold alloys can be manufactured at a very low thickness and still preserve strength and resistance. The benefit is that less tooth structure needs to be removed.
  • Gold alloys are lighter than base metal alloys (with the exception of titanium).
  • Gold alloys are well-tolerated by the body and do not produce any allergic reactions.
