THE GOLDEN GATE SYSTEM --
Foreword:
Having to use
several alloys to
achieve different parts of dentures is sometimes unsuspected problems
at its conception. Monitoring of a patient also becomes a real puzzle
for future achievements.
The Golden Gate System is the golden solution.
Principle
A typical situation
|
The same case
solved
with the system of the golden gate
|
|
The
patient, aged
50, has over 10 different alloys in the mouth! |
|
Only
one or dental high quality for all
indications as of care given at the mouth of the patient. |
Compatibility,
aesthetic and
optimum security
|
|
- The
gold tooth was tested in detail on its biological compatibility.
- Ceramics
associated perfectly mimics natural
tooth.
- The
golden color of the alloy hot reinforces this aesthetic effect.
- The
ceramic ideally suited for this alloy, with its unusual surface
equal really helps prevent the formation of plaques and inflammation of
the gums.
- With
a
reasonable dental
care, the longevity of the materials provides high quality beauty and
well-being sustainable.
|
The
company DEGUDENT ® (DEGUSSA-DENTAL
®),which
has developed this concept by creating two perfectly compatible
materials: The alloy with high gold content, DEGUNORM ® and
low fusing hydrothermal bi-phased ceramics, DUCERAGOLD ®. a
small
range of attachment is also available in the same alloy as well a
brazing metal / solder.
Metalor
®, Swiss manufacturer of dental alloys, then followed
suit leaving an alloy of the same type PONTOR ® LFC.

Hypoallergenic pink resin injected under pressure connects 2

In
short five different alloys were needed to carry out this work while
respecting the basic principles of art in our daily practice. |

1

milling of the fixed part.
The ceramic
fusion bass cooked on the armature ensures a perfect aesthetic.
The dense and
homogeneous structure of hydrothermal ceramic brings a natural opalescence.
Hypoallergenic pink resin injected under pressure connects 2
teeth manufactured on the chassis.
All
the work was done with the same
alloy rich in gold including the inlay core wich is hiding under 23. No
primary welding or secondary
was
necessary. |

Notes:
1
- (*) If you wanted
to have a
perfect match
between the arm holding the chassis and the milling crowns, as in the
case
of the golden gate system would do, you had to sink both of them in the
same alloy as the one of the fixed parts and after to
weld then to the frame chassis, which is technically
feasible but has never been actualized in the daily pratics. This
technique increases
the manufacturing costs because two welds (uncontrollable
weaknesses ) must
be carried out and an alloy in between (solder) in the design. price
This would work almost the same level as the Golden Gate System!
2
- The palace
metal could have
the
same footprint as the Golden Gate System. Is done as in this example
simply to present an alternative among others. |
Notes:
The difference of
price between these two
techniques rises to up 400 euros in this case.
Only
the choice of raw materials wich is of higher cost in
Golden Gate System (metal and ceramic) explain this difference.
The use of a single alloy melting at lower point makes
the laboratory's work easier and this use also spares household
furnace and save energy.
By doing so, we can most of the time avoid welds, sources of weaknesses
and non-controllable risks in the implementation.
The
dentist's work and the beneficiary's patience of the remain exactly the
same in both cases.
Unlike
semi
precious alloys or not
precious whites ones which at the end of life of the prosthesis
will find garbage as burial, the gold coin will always be resold
and reused. Part of the price difference the
patient
has accepted at the outset, is restored to him. In this
example, it would recover gold 30gr. After all costs associated with
metallurgical treatment, he would earn around 200 euros,
according to daily market price. |
