Biocompatible, comfortable wearing
A decisive advantage of LuxaCam PEEK is its excellent biocompatibility. Blanks are free from metal and monomers and are thus particularly well suited for allergy sufferers.
The composition of the material is toxicologically harmless and its low thermal conductivity protects the healthy tooth substance. Another benefit: Constructions made with LuxaCam PEEK are not only neutral in taste and smell, but also pleasantly lightweight.
Reliably stable
LuxaCam PEEK is reliable: The material is created for long-term use and therefore also correspondingly stable. Its good flexural strength and reliable fracture toughness support long-term stability as well. The material is also extremely abrasion-resistant.
