Microstructural aspects of the Captek alloy for porcelain-fused-to-metal restorations.

CaptekTM (Precious Chemical USA Inc., Apopka, Florida) is a new, innovative development in dental materials. It is a dental alloy that can be defined as a composite material because it is internally composed of two different alloys. CaptekTM is a high gold content alloy (88% by weight) and is used in porcelain-fused-to-metal dental crowns and bridges. Composite metals containing metallic matrix...

a new type-ii fuzzy logic based controller for non-linear dynamical systems with application to 3-psp parallel robot

abstract type-ii fuzzy logic has shown its superiority over traditional fuzzy logic when dealing with uncertainty. type-ii fuzzy logic controllers are however newer and more promising approaches that have been recently applied to various fields due to their significant contribution especially when the noise (as an important instance of uncertainty) emerges. during the design of type- i fuz...

Porcelain fused to metal crown as an abutment of a metal-ceramic resin-bonded fixed partial denture: a clinical report.

AIM This clinical report describes a conventional resin-based fixed partial denture for a 42-year-old woman to close an edentulous space in the region of the second maxillary premolar. While the first maxillary molar had been crowned with porcelain fused to metal (PFM) system 10 years ago and the first premolar was intact and sound except for a small carious lesion in the distal aspect. The ess...
