2 Patientenflyer-Titan engl.qxd :06 Uhr Seite 2 Everest Titanium. CAD/CAM-milled. Two thirds of all Germans have dental prostheses: 10 million teeth are crowned annually in Germany. Everest Titanium. Aesthetic, efficient and economical. Dental prostheses are important. More about them later. We would like to begin with the essentials: What makes Everest Titanium so efficient and unique as material - particularly for crowns and bridge frames. Key functional and aesthetic aspects, different tooth and chewing areas, the oral situation and even personal preferences have to be considered: the best solution for you is always an individual and very personal one. Get to know Everest Titanium as a dental prosthesis with all its benefits and properties. And obtain advice from your dentist: Because dental prostheses mean quality of life. Nonallergenic: No irritation at all 30% of the population have allergies, and the allergy rate is continuously increasing. And titanium? From bone surgery to dental prostheses, over several decades of medical use, there has not been a single case of allergic intolerance anywhere in the world. Reactivity: the perfect defence Titanium is a so-called reactive metal: it forms on its surface one of the most resistant oxides in the mineral world. This insulates your crown or bridge from chemical attacks by sweet or acidic foods, from aggressive body fluids and from corrosion - which, for example, would take 1 million years in the case of titanium implants.

3 Patientenflyer-Titan engl.qxd :06 Uhr Seite 4 X-ray translucency: Diagnosis through the crown Titanium is the only dental prosthesis metal than can be X-rayed without problems: for early and reliable diagnoses when caries are suspected, your crown or bridge need not even be removed. Something which is kind to your nerves and saves time and costs and not least also the substance of your teeth - because every removal and mounting of a crown means losing a little more of your tooth substance. Comfort: High-strength, feather-light, neutral taste Titanium is the only dental prosthesis metal that allows you to eat almost as wide a range as the enamel of fully healthy teeth: hearty biting and chewing or cold refreshments after a hot meal. It insulates against heat and cold 14 times as well as the dental gold alloy and is even 4 times lighter, but at least as durable and absolutely free of the taste of metal. Everest Titanium. Why milled dental prosteses are even better. Milling with CAD/CAM Ever since titanium has been used for dental prostheses, it was and remains a material of first choice. When processed by computer-aided milling, it combines more advantages than ever before: under processor control and with unvarying precision, your dental prosthesis is perfectly produced and prepared for artistic and durable facing. With regard to facing Like gold and other prosthesis metals, titanium too can be faced. Everest Titanium specially processed by milling has outstanding facing properties: it can be faced with excellent adhesion and an impressive appearance. With regard to appearance When dental prostheses metals are faced, it is known that a hairline contour remains at the transition to the gum. Bad? No: good dental technology makes the line virtually invisible, as shown by the pictures on the next pages. Nevertheless, we recommend that titanium be used preferably in the posterior teeth.

The same posterior bridge with its facing makes it clear: milled and artistically faced titanium can not only compete with other materials but also with our natural teeth in terms of translucency and typical optical characteristics of teeth in ambient light.

In addition to all other benefits which titanium as a material provides by its very nature for dental prostheses, it also has an impressive appearance with a suitable facing. In any life situation: from your most elegant smile to your most attractive laugh.

5 Patientenflyer-Titan engl.qxd :06 Uhr Seite 8 Dental health means quality of life. Healthy teeth in a healthy body. Complete care of your teeth to ensure they are healthy plays a decisive role in ensuring that your whole body remains healthy. Without your "bite", deficiencies and malfunctions quickly appear - in particular, disorders of the stomach and of the intestinal tract can occasionally be due to a chewing problem. Not least because you begin, consciously or unconsciously, to adapt your nutrition to your teeth: with every gap, a tendency towards increasingly "more convenient" food increases. Food which is known to be poor for your diet and to quickly lead to deficiencies and to illness and which moreover is only rarely kind to your gums. A lifetime off good dental health pays off in later years. Complete and healthy teeth ensure that the jaw joint and the muscles used in chewing remain healthy. Every gap, every poor dental prosthesis causes a gradual change - gums recede, teeth tilt, turn and shift - with permanent damage culminating in shrinkage of the jaw. Something which, especially with increasing age, makes nutrition, a happy life, fitness and finally even effective tooth replacement impossible. And not least: your pronunciation and articulation too remains clear and precise to a lively old age with good dental prostheses.

6 Patientenflyer-Titan engl.qxd :06 Uhr Seite 10 Smiling means qualitiy of life. Smiling means togetherness. When our earliest forebears began to hunt the vast Steppes, the most advanced weapon for a very long time was the spear. Its maximum range when thrown, about 100 metres, is - as the prize-winning journalist Daniel McNeill assumed in his cultural history on the face probably not identical by chance to the furthest distance from which we can recognize the smile of another person. Smiling is more than just joy or sympathy. Smiling is a biological long-distance symbol of peace, our most important social link and our most widely used facial expression - which even as a baby we use quickly, often and to the joy of others. Smiling is communication. In animals, exposing the teeth tends to be a gesture of threat or anxiety. It is precisely this gesture of anxiety that is supposed to be the forerunner of our smile: it is meant to indicate harmlessness, and whoever is harmless is friendly. Even if, as we know, this is not always true in practice! Humour, love, joy, happiness, relaxation, confusion, nervousness, disappointment, contradiction and a great deal more: smiling speaks many languages throughout the world. But for this very personal, emotional communication, our eyes and our teeth must also smile: the eyes honestly and with commitment, the teeth without gaps and in good health.
