[QUOTE="k2 Ceramic Studio, post: 55291, member: 1067"] Hi guys STRENGTH, Yes, we have done a lot of Ti bridges big and small, and have never had one break, Why would they, Tensile strength 90 000 100 000 N/mm2 (should be a really small 2 sorry) WEIGHT, this stuff is fantastic as far as weight goes, I would say that you can dramatically reduce the weight of a dental appliance using Ti, TASTE, Titanium has a neutral taste, so no strange tastes in the mouth for the patient. CONDUCTIVITY, Titanium is a poor conductor of heat, so no oversensitivity due to hot or cold food BIOCOMPATIBLE. Medical Grade 2 Titanium is a biocompatible material RADIOLUCENT, This one will surprise most people. Titanium is the only metal in the world that is radiolucent.( Radiolucent: Anything that permits the penetration and passage of X-rays) Oh yeh, it looks great with GC porcelain layered on it. :) All the best Pete [/QUOTE]
