Leo is a reduced-gold ceramic alloy, suitable for conventional metal-ceramics. The good flow properties during casting and the high heat resistance allow for a wide range of indications.
Indications*
Inlays
Onlays, ¾ crowns, crowns
Telescope crowns, conus crowns
Bridges
Wide-span bridges
Cast posts /cores, bars, attachments
Partial dentures
