title: Dentacolor as veneering material for titanium. A clinical evaluation after 51-72 months.
abstract: Fifty-one patients who had been provided with 104 Dentacolor veneered titanium copings/pontics were recalled after periods varying between 51 and 72 months. Fourty-two patients with 85 units-67 crowns and 18 pontics-attended. In this retrospective study the condition of the veneering material was rated by dentists who had performed the treatment. Seven units exhibited Dentacolor fractures and one obvious discoloration of the veneering material. These eight units correspond to a failure rate of 9.4%. The corresponding failure rate after 3 years was 7.1%.
