noble and high noble metals?
noble and high noble metals?
What are considered noble metals, and what are considered high noble metals,
as far as material to be used in dental crowns? (as listed in my dental
insurance policy)
What is the disadvantage of using these materials, instead of gold?
Thank you.

This is insurance talk, and while each company may have a distinct
definition for what constitutes "noble" and "high noble", there is no
industry standard that I know of.
The noble metals used commonly in dentistry are gold, platinum, and
palladium. Pure gold is almost never used in dentistry, as it's too
soft to cast. An old method of filling is called "direct gold" or "gold
foil" and this is almost pure gold, but this can pretty much be ignored
for insurance purposes. My understanding is that "high noble" is an
alloy that is primarily noble metal--ie: over 50% gold and/or platinum
and/or palladium. But don't quote me on that. ;-)

Thanks for the info, Steve.
When one normally gets a gold crown, then, since you write that pure gold is
almost never used, what is the combination used in that case? How does that
differ from the "high noble" designation, which you write is over 50% gold?
Is there much difference between the two in how the crown holds up? Have
there been any negative health effects from using the "high noble" metals
instead of "gold"?
I ask because the insurance coverage for crowns, with a co-pay from me, is
for "noble or high noble" metals. The dentist says that is for the "basic"
material, if I want gold crowns there is a high upgrade fee he adds to that,
almost doubling the amount. (As it is for a four crown-bridge, the price
difference would be significant.)
Could my dentist possibly be mistaken--if "high noble" includes over 50%
gold, and pure gold is never used anyhow, is a "high noble" crown basically
the same as a "gold crown"?

That question doesn't relate to my question at all, regarding what is
considered "high noble metal" (in terms of a crown or bridge), and how that
might differ or be the same as the material used in a "gold crown".
My dental insurance is a DHMO (United Concordia), but I don't see that as
relevant to my question.

BIO2000 gold used for porcelain is 24K. but this stuff is very
delicate to work with. If the technician drops it, it will dent and he
will have to start over.
High nobel is 75% or 14K gold=type3 gold
SemiPrecious is white gold about 12K 50%gold=type4 gold. There is a
yellow gold of this category depends whether there is more palladium/
platinum vs gold that gives the colour.
nobel is somewhere in between can be white or yellow gold.
non precious is all nickel and other metals of no value this is what
HMO crowns are made from.

High Nobel ? Is that when Alfred blows up ?
75% Au is 18K.
Type III refers to hardness, not Au content.
Believe high noble is 60% or higher Au content.

Close but not exactly. (At least according to the Identalloy folks)
High Noble (HN) = Noble Metal Content >= 60%, Gold Content >= 40%
Noble (N) = Noble Metal Content >= 25%
Predominantly Base (PB) = Noble Metal Content < 25%

Close but not exactly. (At least according to the Identalloy folks)
High Noble (HN) = Noble Metal Content >= 60%, Gold Content >= 40%
Noble (N) = Noble Metal Content >= 25%
Predominantly Base (PB) = Noble Metal Content < 25%
