Capricorn is a classical, palladium-based ceramic alloy. The good flow properties during casting and excellent heat resistance allow a wide range of indications, especially for long-span restorations.
Indications*
Inlays
Onlays, ¾ crowns, crowns
Telescope crowns, conus crowns
Bridges
Wide-span bridges
Cast posts / cores, bars, attachments
Implant-supported superstructures
Partial dentures
