Materials & alloy
information.

Different dental alloys may be used depending on the restoration type, prescription, manufacturing process, and clinical requirements.

Dental alloy categories may include:

• Noble and high-noble alloys
• Base metal alloys
• Cobalt-chromium alloys
• Titanium and titanium alloys

Because the exact elemental composition varies by product and manufacturer, alloy composition should be confirmed using the applicable manufacturer's current product documentation.

Porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) restorations use a dental alloy substructure with a ceramic veneering material.

The alloy selected may vary depending on the prescribed restoration and material requirements.

If you require the exact alloy name or composition for a particular PFM case, please contact us with the case number.

Cobalt-chromium and other dental alloys may be used in the fabrication of removable partial denture frameworks depending on the prescribed appliance and manufacturing process.

Exact composition varies by product and manufacturer.

For case-specific composition or manufacturer information, please contact our laboratory.

Titanium or titanium alloys may be used in certain implant-related restorations and prosthetic components.

The specific titanium material, grade, alloy, or component manufacturer may vary depending on the restoration and component selected.

If specific titanium information is required, please provide the case number or component information so that we can identify the applicable documentation.

Dental zirconia is a ceramic restorative material commonly used for crowns, bridges, implant-supported restorations, and other fixed prosthetic applications.

Different zirconia products may be selected depending on factors such as:

• Restoration design
• Strength requirements
• Esthetic requirements
• Translucency
• Clinical indication

Product specifications vary between manufacturers and zirconia formulations. For information regarding the zirconia used in a specific case, please contact our laboratory with the case number.

Lithium disilicate and other dental ceramics may be used for crowns, veneers, inlays, onlays, and other prescribed restorations.

The exact ceramic material and manufacturer may vary according to the restoration and fabrication process.

Manufacturer information and applicable product documentation may be available upon request.

Depending on the prescribed appliance and manufacturing process, denture bases may be fabricated using materials such as:

• Dental acrylic
• PMMA-based materials
• Digital denture materials
• Validated 3D-printed dental resins

Material formulation and properties vary by manufacturer. For information regarding the material used in a particular denture case, please contact IDOC Dental Lab.

Flexible partial dentures may be fabricated using thermoplastic dental materials designed for removable prosthetic applications.

The exact material used may vary depending on the prescribed appliance and manufacturing process.

For product-specific material information, please contact us with the applicable case information.

Night guards, occlusal splints, retainers, and similar appliances may be fabricated from different dental materials depending on the appliance design and manufacturing method. These may include:

• Thermoplastic dental materials
• Acrylic materials
• PMMA-based materials
• Validated dental resins

Please contact our laboratory if material identification is required for a particular case.

For the most accurate material information, please provide:

• Patient name and/or case number
• Restoration or appliance type
• Material information requested
• Specific element or material of concern, if applicable

Our team will review the available case and product information and provide applicable documentation when available.
