[Breaking susceptibility of Ultralite-foil crowns for molars]

Proceeding on the assumption that the use of massive cast gold constructions is an important factor in the question of economical dentistry a new technique of crownwork construction is presented. Ultralight construction is a method used in engineering for the production of load-bearing elements from embossed metal foils. Based on the new Ultralite-foil-crown the mechanical strength of the Ultralite-molar-crown is tested. Following the principles in construction with this new technique the results of breaking load tests of the ceramometallic Ultralite-molar-crown are discussed.
