Captek™ Copings- Captek copings have proven to be exceptionally strong and durable. The physical properties of the advanced gold material are derived from the patented reinforcing internal structure of Captek. This structure is designed to reduce the stress between the porcelain and Captek gold. What’s more, once layered with ceramic, the unique gold color of the understructure provides a warm, lifelike appearance at the gingival margin. Captek is indicated for single-unit crowns and 3-unit bridges. Captek Bridge, an advanced formulation of the original material offering 33 percent more density and strength, is designed to meet the needed strength for bruxers, long-span bridges, and implants.
