„It‘s the generation of the „best agers“, who, through
their attitude towards life, well-being, dignity and
vibrancy with high-quality individual dental prosthesis
solutions, are making for continuous growth.“

A new dimension ofdental electroforming
Successfully introduced by WIELAND and established in the dental prosthetics industry for more than 20 years
ago under the brand name AGC® (Auro Galva Crown® - electroformed gold crowns), electroforming is no
„temporary fashion,“ rather is now more than ever a high quality and comfortable form of dental
treatment. There is good reason for this too. Using pure gold, this extremely sophisticated process stands
up to distinctive wishes from the patient and to growing potential of removable dental prostheses.
By 1986, WIELAND had already brought electroforming technology into the dental laboratory in a biocom-
patible and environmentally-friendly way in the form of a nontoxic gold bath. Constant further development
of the equipment technology, materials and gold baths did not just improve cost-effectiveness in the labora-
tory, but also expanded the range of indications. It is the outstanding fit properties in particular that make
electroformed structures so unique. Overall, an elaborate system of automated equipment and perfectly-tuned
baths and materials are available to AGC® users - a guarantee for top class prosthetic work.

The range of indications for electroforming technology has been transformed over
the past few years. In the course of the development of overlay and conical crown
technology, electroforming has come more and more to the fore for secondary crowns.
Meanwhile, dental electroforming has found another area of application as mesostruc-
tures for implant posts. The precision of electroforming is ideal for dental prostheses.
Both are considered as precision dental techniques.
Range of dental indications opens up a plethora of areas of application
Yellow, self-hardening compomer-based adhesive cement
Auto-mix system for automatic measuring and mixing
Direct application
Bonding strength well over 10 MPa when used with a metal primer
Perfect flow properties with low film thickness at the same time for simple and
precise adhesion of AGC® Copings in the tertiary structures of prosthetic super-
structures.
Better adhesion with AGC® Cem
Conductive silver lacquer specially designed for dental electroforming
Suitable for use with all the standard die materials
Improved bonding strength on the die material
Greater conductivity
Extremely quick drying
Very easy to use
Colour change indicates state when drying
Easy to remove

Individual cemented crowns
Fixed restorations on implants are increasingly being cemented. Cementation is
beneficial due to the passive fit of the prosthesis. The adhesive cement acts as a kind
of buffer for the implants. The load on the tips when chewing is absorbed by the
cement gap therefore meaning that the implants are under less strain. A screw-down
crown does not offer this security and often leads to cracking. Micro Leakage and
loose screws are common results. The worst cases, bacterial colonisations can occur.
Depending on the procedure, the AGC® electroformed copings are fitted onto the
abutment like a second layer of skin which ensure an equal cement gap.
If space is restricted in the anterior area, the construction of the frameworks must be as
delicate as possible as only then can a sufficient layer thickness for porcelain veneers be
guaranteed. AGC® electroforming technology is essential here. The warm yellow shade
of the pure gold also provides support to the aesthetic aspect of the crown. Even with
extremely transparent gums, the electroformed crowns with circular porcelain shoulders
make for outstanding results. It is also a big advantage that the electroformed copings
can be used with any porcelain veneer.

Implant supraconstruction impacted by bridges and overlays
The AGC® electroformed mesostructures feature outstanding operating properties in
overlaid systems. In combination with a bridge restoration, there is the opportunity to
interlock in positions where strong tooth replacements are not so easy to implement and
to simulate a fixed tooth replacement. Natural abutments can be integrated into the im-
plant bond without any strain thanks to AGC® electroforming technology and intraoral
adhesion technology.

ented regio 43 zircon oxide primary component.

Overlay implant suprastructure
Restorations with overlay prostheses are of course a „precise“ solution not only for
natural abutment teeth, but also for implants. With implants, electroforming is carried
out directly onto the primary components. As a result, accuracy of fit is extremely high.
The AGC® copings and tertiary structure electrodeposited in this way can easily be
adhered in the mouth without any strain. Porcelain or an alloy with a high gold content
can be used for the primary components depending on the wish of the patient.
Recently, dental electroforming has found a further area of application as a meso-
structure for implant posts, which, over the course of the advancing development
of implantology, has meant that it has become a primary growth market.
Pre-manufactured, personalised and blasted
titanium abutments.
Fitted electroformed copings to monitor fit
and operating properties.
