title: [Castability and accuracy of fit of a titanium casting system].
abstract: The titanium casting system Cyclarc (Morita) was examined for its suitability for the fabrication of dense, fitting restorations. The investment material Titavest CB exhibited no setting expansion. Instead, thermal expansion, highly dependent on the liquid/power ratio and the temperature during preheating, was observed. The castability of unalloyed titanium is fully acceptable for the fabrication of prosthetic restorations. Single crowns showed a high accuracy of fit, if an optimal liquid/power ratio was used for investment.
