Academy Gold

  • The intense, golden-yellow colour of Academy Gold is identical to the one of cohesive gold. This high-precious, palladium-free multi-purpose alloy (Type 2) is characterized by high stability, increased elongation and a fine-grained structure. Consequently, users are able to achieve good clinical and technical results.

     

    Advantages

    • Pd-free
    • Esthetic yellow-golden colour
    • Extended range of indications (Type 2)
    • Optimum marginal adaptation, even after hardening
    • Excellent casting and processing properties
    • Certified biocompatibility
