| Testing on various composites by Dr. S. Suzuki at the University of Alabama at Birmingham proved generalized wear of Cristobal+ was less than half that of the nearest competitor at 1.6 microns after 100,000 cycles using a three-body wear test. 
And in measuring physical properties, Dr. Suzuki found Cristobal+ to be higher in flexural strength and flexural modulus than its competitors 
For those who use composites bonded to metal, Cristobal+ more than exceeds ISO minimum requirements when bonded to either precious or non-precious metals, without the use of mechanical retention. 
Clinical success since 1993 has proven Cristobal+ to be a very long lasting restorative material. DENTSPLY Ceramco has added a dynamic post curing polymerization process that cures quickly, and creates superior strength, hardness, and wear. The non-porous, biocompatible surface of Cristobal+ means superior chairside polishability that’s virtually impermeable to microorganisms. Because Cristobal+ is mechanically polished as opposed to glazed, the finish will not wear off. The unique Cristobal+ formula is highly fracture-resistant and shock-absorbent with ideal rebounding characteristics so it is ideal for use with implant cases. |
