Captek is fabricated solely from precious metals, which do not react in the oral environment. There are no oxide formations by the Captek metal, no oxides to penetrate the surrounding gingiva. The Captek coping will not create a reaction in the gingiva, the bone or any other part of the oral cavity.
Captek has a high noble metal composition, and a unique composite metal structure that provides high biocompatibility to the oral cavity. Captek is composed of solely high noble metals with exceptional high purity that does not oxides under any oral circumstances, and does not corrode over time. Captek has a composite metal structure that produces micro-electrical bi-polar stimulation which seems to positive simulate the tissue cells around it.
The gingiva is not only unaffected by Captek, but has a positive effect.
There is less gingivitis and recession around a Captek crown.
In several researches Captek crowns have exhibited a unique feature. Around the Captek metal there was less bacterial attachment. This trait might be explained by the exceptional three dimensional structure of the composite metal.
Around the Captek margins there has been proven to be less bacterial accumulation then around natural teeth or other crown systems. Clinically it is evident that there is less gingival inflammation compare to any other crown system.
