## Device description

BioPorta G is an extra-hard dental alloy with high contents of gold and platinum (97 %) intended for dental technicians to fabricate dental restorations.

It has an indication which ranges from inlays/onlays and crowns up to long span bridges with two or more pontics and to removable partials. It is free of copper and therefore suitable for telescopic and milling work.

BioPorta G is highly corrosion resistant and has an excellent biocompatibility. It fully complies to the international standard ISO 9693 and fulfills the essential requirements of the European directive 93/42/ECC concerning medical devices.

BioPorta G can be veneered with suitable dental ceramics and with dental composites, in which the golden yellow color of the alloy provides an excellent basis for manufacturing aesthetically pleasing dental restorations.
