Are chromium-cobalt alloys safe for dental use?

Yes, MESA Italia CrCo alloys are certified for biocompatibility per ISO 10993 and compliant with the European MDR Regulation. They have non-toxicity confirmed by decades of clinical use, chemical stability and hypoallergenicity.

What is the difference between CrCo, titanium and zirconia in dental prosthetics?

CrCo offers rigidity, durability and cost-effectiveness, ideal for extended prostheses and metal-ceramics. Titanium offers maximum biocompatibility and lightweight. Zirconia offers metal-free aesthetics. The choice depends on the specific clinical application.

How many teeth are produced each year with MESA Italia alloys?

Approximately 3 million teeth are produced worldwide each year using MESA Italia alloys. Mesa is the world's leading exporter of CrCo alloys for dental use, present in over 60 countries since 1975.

What are the key mechanical properties of CrCo dental alloys?

CrCo alloys offer high rigidity for excellent structural resistance, good wear resistance against masticatory forces, and fatigue resistance for long-term reliability under cyclic loading.

What biological properties are important for dental alloys?

These alloys are biocompatible, certified to international standards like ISO 10993 and MDR, and are confirmed as non-toxic, ensuring patient safety.

What types of alloy families does Mesa Italia manufacture?

Mesa Italia manufactures alloys for ceramics (metal-ceramics), alloys for frameworks (removable prosthetics), welding alloys, and CAD/CAM milling discs.

What is the significance of the chemical stability of CrCo alloys?

CrCo alloys exhibit resistance to corrosion in the oral environment, which is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the prosthetic structure over time.
