Dentistry - Polymer-based crown and bridge materials (ISO 10477:2004) EN ISO 10477:2004

Publication date:   Sep 25, 2006

Scope

ISO 10477:2004 classifies polymer-based dental crown and bridge materials and specifies their requirements. It also specifies the test methods to be used to determine compliance with these requirements.
ISO 10477:2004 is applicable to polymer-based dental crown and bridge materials for laboratory-fabricated permanent facings or anterior crowns that may or may not be attached to a metal substructure. It also applies to polymer-based dental crown and bridge materials for which the manufacturer claims adhesion to the metal substructure without macromechanical retention such as beads or wires.
ISO 10477:2004 is not applicable to polymer-based materials that are used to make crowns, veneers or repairs in the operatory, nor does it cover the application of those materials to stress-bearing areas of posterior teeth.
