Full-cast restorations remain the standard for long-term durability of posterior crowns as they are the most biocompatible and plaque-resistant option available. Each yellow gold alloy meets ADA specifications for either “noble gold” or “high noble gold” and because gold is significantly softer than ceramics, it is also the most gentle material on opposing dentition. This makes them an ideal solution for bruxers, particularly for posterior restorations when esthetic concerns aren’t a major consideration in treatment.
