In response to market demands for a high gold ceramic alloy that supports a wide range of indications and provides a golden yellow color for outstanding esthetic results, Ivoclar Vivadent, Inc. introduces Brite Gold XH.
This extra-hard palladium-, silver- and zinc-free alloy does not require pickling after oxidation and is suitable for use with conventional feldspar ceramics. Additionally, the biocompatibility of Brite Gold XH has been confirmed by independent institutes and documented with a biocertificate.
With a demonstrated high temperature strength and a high modulus of elasticity, Brite Gold XH is indicated for inlays, onlays, partial and full-coverage crowns, telescope and conus crowns, posts, and short and long-span bridges. In particular, Brite Gold XH frameworks demonstrate an accurate and predictable fit after every porcelain firing cycle and facilitate ease-of-use in the laboratory.
The high gold content (88.9%), combined with platinum (9.0%), results in an elegant, warm appearance of the Brite Gold XH alloy. The brilliant yellow color of Brite Gold XH provides veneer restorations (e.g., those fabricated with IPS d.SIGN® or IPS Classic® porcelain) with true-to-nature esthetic shade effects. In particular, the colors appear warmer, which facilitates shade matching. Further, dark shadows at the cervical margins of crown restorations fabricated with Brite Gold XH are eliminated.
