Stopfgold: a new direct filling gold.
A new direct gold material that is considerably different from other direct golds has been available since 1989. The advantages of this material are that the final restoration exhibits greater density than other forms of granular gold and has a 50% increase in shear strength when compared to gold foil. Clinical experience with the use of this new restorative material has been encouraging. Further clinical and laboratory research comparing this material with the other types of direct gold is anticipated.
