Captek is made directly on the tooth die, providing the most superior precise fit. In the Captek technology a metal impregnated wax is applied to a refractory die directly, to build and design the final metal coping. This method results in a highly accurate coping. Other PFM technologies are made in indirect methods that introduce inaccuracies.
Captek can be swedged and burnished to achieve excellent precision. The Captek coping can be swedged prior to porcelain application. With different swedge spacers the desired tightness to the tooth and the space for cement can be easily achieved.
Captek maintains its accuracy through porcelain firing thanks to its internal reinforcing skeleton.
Universities studies have shown an excellent fit at the margin after cementation of 14.5-18 microns in single crowns and bridges.
