Cobalt-chrome (CrCo) is a metal alloy widely used in the production of prosthetic structures, such as metal-ceramic crowns and implant bars. In the CAD\/CAM workflow, it stands out for its strength and stability, being primarily used in laboratories. It is associated with ceramic application (layering). <\/p>\n

Using CrCo in the digital workflow requires integration between scanning, design, and milling or casting. As a rigid material, it requires robust equipment or indirect processes. The choice of workflow directly impacts cost, control, and production capacity. <\/p>\n<\/div> <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/section>
