Callisto Implant 60 is a palladium-based ceramic alloy. The high strength and the low density make this alloy economical to use, especially for implant-supported superstructures.
Indications*
- Onlays, ¾ crowns, crowns
- Telescope crowns, conus crowns
- Bridges
- Wide-span bridges
- Cast posts / cores, bars, attachments
- Implant-supported superstructures
- Partial dentures
