Figaro Crowns Outperformed the Competitors in ALL Strength Tests
PATIENT & PROVIDER SAFETY
Our meticulous selection process of materials included research of advances made in medical and dental materials. Throughout our process, we evaluated and hand-selected the materials that provided the highest level of safety and minimized risk for both patients and providers.
Figaro Crowns’ materials are:
- Biocompatible – comprised of the same material currently used in pacemakers
- Strong - created for superior strength to withstand grinding and chewing bite force
- Safe - thoughtfully designed with materials that do not allow for sharp edges due to tooth grinding or shattering of the crown while clenching or chewing
- Cost Effective – we have virtually eliminated the risk of failure at delivery (i.e. cracking, breaking & chipping)
- BPA and Metal Free – provide peace of mind and reassurance for patient's parents
- Autoclavable

EFFICIENT CHAIR TIME
The management of schedule and chair time is of utmost importance for dental providers. Therefore, the focus of our development was to provide a product that will help increase productivity and efficiently manage the use of chair time.
Based on our own time analysis, delivery of a Figaro Crown takes the same amount of time as delivering a stainless-steel crown.
Using our methodology, the preparation and delivery of a Figaro Crown on a typodont has consistently taken two minutes or less - 50% faster than the 4+ minutes required to prepare and deliver a Zirconia crown.
Over the course of one year, this would save the equivalent to one full work week (as illustrated in chart below).
EASE OF DELIVERY
As Pediatric Dentists, we understand, sometimes it can be challenging to perform intricate, lengthy work on young patients. Therefore, Figaro Crowns made it a top priority to provide our customers with a crown that may be delivered quickly.
- Loading of cement and placing the crown is efficient - there is no waiting for the cement to cure completely before the child bites down.
- Delivering Figaro Crowns is similar to stainless steel crowns – no need to learn a new method.
- Redesigned container case – mimics the placement of the tooth in the mouth.
- Color-Coded container case – easily and quickly identify whether it is posterior or anterior crowns.
