TITANIUM: PERFECTLY COMPATIBLE WITH BIOLOGICAL MATERIAL

Titanium was discovered already in 1791, but only in the last decades has been used in industrial applications. Its use in medicine has become quite broad due to its excellent compatibility with biological material. Since some time, titanium is being used for artificial joints, plates for blocking fractures, cover material for implant devices, and implants for dentistry applications.

Recent technological developments have allowed an even broader use of titanium. Today the realization of complete dental prosthesis in titanium has become a concrete and accessible possibility for everyone.

OROTIG - LEADER IN TITANIUM TECHNOLOGY

Until a few years ago, the excellent properties of titanium were not fully utilized to create complete dental structures, since its high reactivity made it impossible to realize such dentistry applications in titanium.

The start of OROTIG Srl has represented a revolution in this respect. The Italian company has realized an innovative system which covers the complete spectrum of titanium technology: titanium casting, titanium welding, and the realization of prosthesis in titanium. This innovative system yields high quality results that were not obtained before.

bioWith this system, defined TITEC® by OROTIG, the dental technician has at its disposal the most sophisticated machinery that exists on the world market, consumables, accessories, and laboratory equipment of excellent quality.

TITANIUM PROTHESIS: THE CLOSEST TO NATURE

Being anti-corrosive and resistant to stress, light, anallergic, without taste, non thermal conducting, and completely non-toxic, titanium has all the properties of natural teeth and allows to create a prosthesis which is absolutely compatible with biological material. A tooth in titanium has no taste, is not sensitive to hot or cold (it has a thermal conductivity which is 14 times smaller than that of gold), it is very light (4 times lighter than gold), and has optimal elastic properties and robustness, and resistance to chewing. In addition, a prosthesis in titanium is transparent to x-rays, and that means an important advantage for future treatments.

IMPORTANT ADVANTAGES FOR THOSE WHO CHOOSE
TO WORK WITH TITANIUM

Titanium is available in large quantities and has a price which is very reasonable (about 50 times less than gold). A choice today to work with titanium means that one can offer a product of high quality, safe, and of almost eternal lifetime. Titanium is the forth metal on earth and does not exhibit high extraction costs. A large increment in the use of titanium is expected in dentistry in the near future.

Getting equipped with machinery and technology TITEC® by OROTIG today, means preparing oneself for the near future. A prosthesis in titanium represents a product of high quality, technologically advanced, safe, long lasting, and very competitively priced. Realizing custom made crowns, complex bridges, and structures which have been completely passivated with respect to the implants in titanium, the dental technician guarantees the dentist that the repair and reconstruction of teeth occurs in a biocompatible, resistant, and esthetically perfect way without creating electrical potential differences.
