● Material: High-Noble: Rich Yellow (ArgenMill Au58), Noble Yellow (ArgenMill40Y), Noble White (ArgencoW), Non-Precious (ArgenMillCoCr). Feldspathic porcelain
PFM Material Safety Data Sheet
3) Contraindications
Crowns should be used with caution in patients with uncontrolled periodontal disease, severe bone resorption, or oral lesions.
4) Warnings / Precautions / Potential Risks
⚠WARNING
The use of fixed restorations may have potential risks, including failure, misfit, breakage, and
recurrent caries.
**Warning – Sensitivity:
This device contains a level of metal (including nickel). Patients with sensitivity or allergy to metals should be informed by the treating clinician of the presence of these compounds in the device prior to treatment. In rare cases, allergic reactions may occur in sensitized individuals.
*Warning – Irritation:
Localized irritation of surrounding oral tissues may occur in certain individuals due to individual variability in tissue response. Patients should be monitored post-placement, and the treating clinician should evaluate any signs of irritation, inflammation, or discomfort.
⚠CAUTION
NA
5) Cleaning and Care
Daily Cleaning
Oral Hygiene:
Brushing:
● Recommended brushing teeth twice a day, using a soft-bristled toothbrush and a fluoride toothpaste.
Flossing:
● Recommend daily flossing to remove plaque and debris from between the teeth and around the fixed restoration. A floss threader may be needed for hard-to-reach areas.
Mouthwash:
● Alcohol-based mouthwashes tend to dry out the mouth and lead to increased plaque and tartar buildup.
● Dietary and Habit Recommendations
● Avoid abrasive foods: Limit hard, crunchy, or sticky foods that can damage the restoration or cause it to loosen.
● Avoid sugary foods: where new cavities can form or cause premature decay of the restorative margins.
● Stay hydrated: Drinking plenty of water will help keep your patient’s mouth clean and prevent gum disease.
● Avoid bad habits: Refrain from using teeth to open packages or biting on hard objects
6) Storage
Stored in specialized boxes with foam or membranes for protection, often made of ABS plastic. For patients who lose a crown, store it in a sealed bag or a small container with a small amount of water to keep it safe and moist until the dentist's visit.
7) Expected Life / Service
They offer exceptional longevity, typically lasting 20 years or more, often extending to 30 years or even a lifetime with excellent care, thanks to their unmatched durability, resistance to chipping, and precise fit.
8) Incident / Complaint Reporting
Report suspected serious incidents associated with this device to:
● The Manufacturer and/or Dandy Australia entity using the contacts above, and
● Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA)
In Australia, serious incidents involving medical devices must be reported to the TGA in accordance with the Therapeutic Goods Act 1989.
INFO
For full contact details of the local Authorized Representative, refer to: Authorized Representatives — end of this document.
9) Disposal
● Dandy asks that restorations that contain precious metals created by Dandy that need refabrication be returned to us.
● Disposing of metal dental restorations involves either recycling them as precious metals (especially if gold alloy) through specialized refineries or scrap dealers for value, or general recycling if non-precious (like steel), but never in regular trash.
● Precious Metal Refining: Many dental restorations contain valuable metals, making them a valuable asset for recycling.
● Specialized Refiners: Some companies offer mail-in programs where you send in your scrap in prepaid, insured envelopes for assay and payment.
● How it Works: You send your restorations, they refine the metals, and pay you based on current market prices, often with insured shipping.
● For Non-Precious Metal Restorations
● Dandy restorations that need refabrication do not have to be returned to us.
● Scrap Metal Dealers: various scrap metals, offering pickup or drop-off, though you'd need to confirm if they take small dental items.
● General Recycling: Check with your local sanitation department for guidelines on disposing of bulk or metal items if it's not a dental office scenario.

5) Limpieza y cuidado
Limpieza diaria
Higiene bucal:
Cepillado:
● Se recomienda cepillarse los dientes dos veces al día con un cepillo de cerdas suaves y un dentífrico fluorado.
Uso de hilo dental:
● Recomiende el uso diario de hilo dental para eliminar la placa y los restos entre los dientes y alrededor de la restauración fija. Puede ser necesario utilizar un enhebrador de hilo dental en zonas de difícil acceso.
Enjuague bucal:
● Los enjuagues bucales a base de alcohol tienden a secar la boca y a aumentar la acumulación de placa y sarro.
● Recomendaciones alimentarias y de hábitos
● Evite los alimentos abrasivos: Limite los alimentos duros, crujientes o pegajosos que puedan dañar la restauración o hacer que se afloje.
● Evite los alimentos azucarados: ya que pueden favorecer la aparición de nuevas caries o el deterioro prematuro de los márgenes de la restauración.
● Manténgase hidratado/a: Beber abundante agua ayudará a mantener limpia la boca del paciente y a prevenir la enfermedad periodontal.
● Evite los malos hábitos: Absténgase de usar sus dientes para abrir envases o morder objetos duros.
6) Almacenamiento
Debe almacenarse en estuches especializados con espuma o membranas de protección, a menudo fabricados en plástico ABS. En el caso de pacientes que pierdan una corona, guárdela en una bolsa sellada o en un pequeño recipiente con una pequeña cantidad de agua para mantenerla segura y húmeda hasta la visita al dentista.
7) Vida esperada / Servicio
Ofrecen una longevidad excepcional, normalmente de 20 años o más, y a menudo pueden alcanzar los 30 años o incluso durar toda la vida con unos cuidados excelentes, gracias a su durabilidad inigualable, su resistencia al astillado y su ajuste preciso.

9) Eliminación
● Dandy solicita que las restauraciones fabricadas por Dandy que contengan metales preciosos y requieran refabricación nos sean devueltas.
● La eliminación de restauraciones dentales metálicas implica reciclarlas como metales preciosos (especialmente si contienen aleaciones de oro) a través de refinerías especializadas o chatarreros autorizados, o bien reciclarlas como metal convencional si no son preciosas (como el acero), pero nunca desecharlas en la basura convencional.
● Refinado de metales preciosos: Muchas restauraciones dentales contienen metales valiosos, lo que las convierte en un material de interés para el reciclaje.
● Refinadores especializados: Algunas empresas ofrecen programas de envío por correo en los que usted remite sus restos en sobres prepagados y asegurados para su valoración y posterior pago.
● Cómo funciona: Usted envía sus restauraciones, la empresa refina los metales y le paga según los precios actuales del mercado, a menudo con envío asegurado.
● Para las restauraciones de metales no preciosos
● Las restauraciones de Dandy que necesiten refabricación no tienen que devolverse.
● Chatarreros autorizados: diversos tipos de chatarra metálica, con opciones de recogida o entrega, aunque deberá confirmar si aceptan pequeñas piezas dentales.

5) Nettoyage et entretien
Nettoyage quotidien
Hygiène buccodentaire :
Brossage :
● Il est recommandé de se brosser les dents deux fois par jour, à l’aide d’une brosse à dents à poils souples et d’un dentifrice fluoré.
Utilisation du fil dentaire :
● Recommander une utilisation quotidienne du fil dentaire pour éliminer la plaque dentaire et les résidus alimentaires entre les dents et autour de la restauration fixe. Un enfile-fil dentaire peut s’avérer nécessaire pour les zones difficiles d’accès.
Bain de bouche :
● Les bains de bouche à base d’alcool ont tendance à dessécher la bouche et entraînent une augmentation de la plaque dentaire et de l’accumulation de tartre.
● Recommandations alimentaires et habitudes
● Éviter les aliments abrasifs : Limiter la consommation d’aliments durs, croquants ou collants qui pourraient endommager la restauration ou la faire se desceller.
● Éviter les aliments sucrés : Où de nouvelles cavités peuvent former ou provoquer une dégradation prématurée des marges de restauration.
● Rester hydraté : Boire beaucoup d’eau aidera à garder la bouche de votre patient propre et à prévenir les maladies des gencives.
● Éviter les mauvaises habitudes : Ne pas utiliser les dents pour ouvrir des emballages ou mordre sur des objets durs .Document State: Effective (Simple) Confidential
6) Stockage
Conditionné dans des boîtes spécialisées, avec de la mousse ou des membranes de protection, souvent en plastique ABS.

9) Élimination
● Dandy demande que les restaurations contenant des métaux précieux réalisées par Dandy et nécessitant une refabrication nous soient renvoyées.
● Pour éliminer les restaurations dentaires métalliques, il faut soit les recycler en tant que métaux préciex (notamment s’il s’agit d’alliages d’or) auprès de raffineries spécialisées ou de ferrailleurs afin d’en tirer une valeur, soit les recycler de manière classique s’il s’agit de métaux non précieux (comme l’acier), mais en aucun cas les jeter avec les ordures ménagères.
● Raffinage des métaux précieux : De nombreuses restaurations dentaires contiennent des métaux précieux, ce qui en fait un atout précieux pour le recyclage.
● Raffineurs spécialisés : Certaines entreprises proposent des programmes par correspondance dans le cadre desquels vous envoyez vos déchets dans des enveloppes préaffranchies et assurées afin qu’ils soient analysés et que vous soyez payé.
● Fonctionnement : Vous envoyez vos restaurations, elles affinent les métaux, et vous payent sur la base des prix actuels du marché, souvent avec une livraison assurée.
● Pour les restaurations en métaux non précieux
● Les restaurations Dandy qui doivent être refabriquées ne doivent pas nous être retournées.
● Ferrailleurs : Divers déchets métalliques ; ils proposent un service d’enlèvement ou de dépôt, mais il faudrait vérifier s’ils acceptent les petits objets dentaires.
● Recyclage général : Si vous n’êtes pas dans le cadre d’un cabinet dentaire, vérifier auprès de votre service municipal chargé de l’assainissement les consignes relatives à l’élimination des déchets volumineux ou des objets métalliques.

5) Reinigung und Pflege
Tägliche Reinigung
● Mundhygiene:
○ Zähneputzen:
■ Empfohlen wird zweimal tägliches Zähneputzen mit einer weichen Zahnbürste und einer
fluoridhaltigen Zahnpasta.
○ Zahnseide:
■ Es wird eine tägliche Anwendung von Zahnseide empfohlen, um Plaque und Speisereste aus den
Zahnzwischenräumen sowie im Bereich des festsitzenden Zahnersatzes zu entfernen. Für schwer
zugängliche Bereiche kann eine Einfädelhilfe für Zahnseide erforderlich sein.
○ Mundspülung:
■ Alkoholhaltige Mundspülungen neigen dazu, den Mund auszutrocknen, was zu einer verstärkten
Bildung von Plaque und Zahnstein führt. Empfehlungen zu Ernährung und Gewohnheiten
● Vermeidung abrasiver Lebensmittel: Vermeiden Sie nach Möglichkeit harte, knusprige oder klebrige Speisen. Diese können die Restauration beschädigen oder dazu führen, dass sie sich lockert.
● Vermeidung zuckerhaltiger Lebensmittel: Diese begünstigen die Entstehung von neuer Karies und können zu einem vorzeitigen Abbau der Kronen- und Brückenränder führen.
● Hydriert bleiben: Das Trinken von reichlich Wasser trägt dazu bei, die Mundhöhle des
Patienten sauber zu halten und Parodontalerkrankungen vorzubeugen.
● Vermeidung schlechter Gewohnheiten: Verzichten Sie darauf, die Zähne zum Öffnen von Verpackungen oder zum Beißen auf harte Gegenstände zu verwenden.
6) Lagerung
Die Lagerung erfolgt in speziellen Boxen mit Schaumstoff- oder Membraneinsätzen zum Schutz, häufig hergestellt aus ABS-Kunststoff. Patienten, die eine Krone verlieren, sollte diese in einem versiegelten Beutel oder einem kleinen Behälter mit etwas Wasser aufbewahren, um sie bis zum Zahnarztbesuch geschützt und feucht zu halten.
7) Erwartete Lebensdauer / Nutzungsdauer
Sie zeichnen sich durch eine herausragende Haltbarkeit von meist über 20 Jahren aus. Bei optimaler Pflege können sie dank ihrer enormen Robustheit, extremen Bruchsicherheit und exakten Passung oft 30 Jahre oder ein Leben lang im Mund verbleiben.

9) Entsorgung
● Dandy bittet darum, von Dandy gefertigte Restaurationen, die Edelmetalle enthalten und neu angefertigt werden müssen, an uns zurückzusenden.
● Die Entsorgung von metallischem Zahnersatz erfolgt entweder durch das Recycling als Edelmetall (insbesondere bei Goldlegierungen) über spezialisierte Scheideanstalten oder Altmetallhändler zur Wertstoffrückgewinnung, oder über das allgemeine Metallrecycling bei Nichtedelmetallen (wie Stahl), jedoch niemals über den normalen Hausmüll.
○ Edelmetallrückgewinnung: Viele zahnmedizinische Restaurationen enthalten wertvolle Metalle, was sie
zu einem wertvollen Gut für das Recycling macht.
○ Spezialisierte Scheideanstalten: Einige Unternehmen bieten Post-Einsende-Programme an, bei denen
Sie Ihr Altmetall in vorfrankierten, versicherten Umschlägen zur Analyse und Vergütung einsenden
können.
● So funktioniert es: Sie senden Ihre Restaurationen ein, das Unternehmen raffiniert die Metalle und vergütet Sie auf Basis der aktuellen Marktpreise, häufig inklusive versichertem Versand.
● Für Nichtedelmetall-Restaurationen
● Von Dandy gefertigte Restaurationen, die eine Neuanfertigung erfordern, müssen nicht an uns zurückgesendet werden.
● Altmetallhändler: Verschiedene Altmetalle mit Option der Abholung oder Selbstanlieferung, wobei vorab zu klären ist, ob auch zahnmedizinische Kleinteile angenommen werden.
● Allgemeines Recycling: Informieren Sie sich bei Ihrer zuständigen kommunalen Abfallwirtschaft über die Richtlinien für die Entsorgung von Sperrmüll oder Metallgegenständen, wenn es sich nicht um Abfälle einer zahnmedizinischen Praxis handelt.

4) Avvertenze / Precauzioni / Rischi potenziali
⚠AVVERTENZE
L'uso di restauri fissi può comportare rischi potenziali, tra cui lesioni, malformazioni, rotture e carie ricorrenti.
**Avvertenza – Sensibilità:
● Questo dispositivo contiene metalli (compreso il nichel). Prima del trattamento, i pazienti con sensibilità o allergia ai metalli devono essere informati dal medico curante della presenza di questi composti nel dispositivo. In rari casi, si possono verificare reazioni allergiche in individui sensibilizzati.
*Avvertenza – Irritazione:
● In alcuni individui può verificarsi irritazione localizzata dei tessuti orali circostanti a causa della variabilità individuale della risposta tissutale. I pazienti devono essere monitorati dopo il posizionamento e il medico curante deve valutare eventuali segni di irritazione, infiammazione o fastidio.
⚠PRECAUZIONI
NA
5) Pulizia e cura
Pulizia quotidiana
● Igiene orale:
○ Spazzolamento:
■ Si raccomanda di lavarsi i denti due volte al giorno, utilizzando uno spazzolino da denti a setole
morbide e un dentifricio al fluoro.
○ Filo interdentale:
■ Si consiglia di utilizzare ogni giorno il filo interdentale per rimuovere la placca e i detriti tra i denti e
intorno al restauro fisso. Può essere necessario una punta passafilo per le aree difficili da
raggiungere.
○ Collutorio:
■ I collutori contenenti alcol tendono ad asciugare la bocca, con conseguente aumento della
formazione di placca e tartaro.
Consigli sull'alimentazione e sulle abitudini
● Evitare alimenti abrasivi: limitare il consumo di cibi duri, croccanti o appiccicosi che possono danneggiare il restauro o causarne l'allentamento.
● Evitare i cibi zuccherati: laddove possono formarsi nuove cavità o causano un decadimento prematuro dei margini di restauro.
● Rimanere idratati: bere molta acqua aiuterà a mantenere pulita la bocca del paziente e a
prevenire le malattie gengivali.
Evitare cattive abitudini: evitare di usare i denti per aprire pacchetti o mordere oggetti duri.
6) Conservazione
Conservato in scatole dedicate con schiuma o membrane per la protezione, spesso realizzate in plastica ABS. Per i pazienti che perdono una corona, conservarla in un sacchetto sigillato o in un piccolo contenitore con una piccola quantità di acqua per mantenerla sicura e umida fino alla visita dal dentista.
7) Durata prevista / Servizio
Offrono una longevità eccezionale, di solito 20 anni o più, che spesso si estende fino a 30 anni o anche per tutta la vita praticando una cura eccellente, grazie alla loro resistenza senza pari, anti-scheggiatura e vestibilità precisa.
8) Segnalazione di incidenti / Reclami
Segnalare gli incidenti gravi sospetti associati a questo dispositivo a:
● Produttore e/o entità UE Dandy utilizzando i contatti sopra indicati e i corrispondenti requisiti locali
● L'Autorità Competente del vostro Stato Membro, conformemente al Regolamento (UE) 2017/745 (MDR).

9) Smaltimento
● Dandy chiede la restituzione dei restauri che contengono metalli preziosi creati da Dandy che necessitano di rigenerazione.
● Lo smaltimento dei restauri dentali in metallo comporta il loro riciclaggio come metalli preziosi (specialmente se in lega d'oro) attraverso raffinerie specializzate o rivenditori di rottami per valore, o il riciclaggio generale se non preziosi (come l'acciaio), ma mai tra i rifiuti normali.
○ Raffinazione di metalli preziosi: molti restauri dentali contengono metalli preziosi, il che li rende un
bene prezioso per il riciclaggio.
○ Raffinatori specializzati: alcune aziende offrono programmi di scambio per corrispondenza in cui si
spediscono i pezzi in buste prepagate e assicurate per analisi e pagamento.
● Come funziona: il dentista invia i restauri, l'azienda raffina i metalli e paga il dentista in base agli attuali prezzi di mercato, spesso con una spedizione assicurata.
● Per i restauri in metallo non prezioso
● I restauri di Dandy che necessitano di rigenerazione, non devono essere restituiti a noi.
● Rivenditori di rottami metallici: vari metalli di scarto, con prelievo o consegna, anche se sarebbe necessario confermare se prendono piccoli oggetti dentali.
● Riciclaggio generale: verificare con l'azienda di raccolta rifiuti locale le linee guida sullo smaltimento di articoli sfusi o in metallo se non si tratta di uno scenario per gli ambulatori dentistici.

5) Cleaning and Care
Daily Cleaning
Oral Hygiene:
Brushing:
● Recommended brushing teeth twice a day, using a soft-bristled toothbrush and a fluoride toothpaste.
Flossing:
● Recommend daily flossing to remove plaque and debris from between the teeth and around the fixed restoration. A floss threader may be needed for hard-to-reach areas.
Mouthwash:
● Alcohol-based mouthwashes tend to dry out the mouth and lead to increased plaque and tartar buildup.
● Dietary and Habit Recommendations
● Avoid abrasive foods: Limit hard, crunchy, or sticky foods that can damage the restoration or cause it to loosen.
● Avoid sugary foods: where new cavities can form or cause premature decay of the restorative margins.
● Stay hydrated: Drinking plenty of water will help keep your patient’s mouth clean and prevent gum disease.
● Avoid bad habits: Refrain from using teeth to open packages or biting on hard objects
6) Storage
Stored in specialized boxes with foam or membranes for protection, often made of ABS plastic. For patients who lose a crown, store it in a sealed bag or a small container with a small amount of water to keep it safe and moist until the dentist's visit.
7) Expected Life / Service
They offer exceptional longevity, typically lasting 20 years or more, often extending to 30 years or even a lifetime with excellent care, thanks to their unmatched durability, resistance to chipping, and precise fit.
8) Incident / Complaint Reporting
Report suspected serious incidents associated with this device to:
● The Manufacturer and/or UK Responsible Person (UKRP) using the contacts above, and
● The UK Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) — www.gov.uk/mhra
In accordance with The Medical Devices Regulations 2002 (as amended).
INFO
For full contact details of the local Authorized Representative, refer to: Authorized Representatives — end of this document.
9) Disposal
● Dandy asks that restorations that contain precious metals created by Dandy that need refabrication be returned to us.
● Disposing of metal dental restorations involves either recycling them as precious metals (especially if gold alloy) through specialized refineries or scrap dealers for value, or general recycling if non-precious (like steel), but never in regular trash.
● Precious Metal Refining: Many dental restorations contain valuable metals, making them a valuable asset for recycling.
● Specialized Refiners: Some companies offer mail-in programs where you send in your scrap in prepaid, insured envelopes for assay and payment.
● How it Works: You send your restorations, they refine the metals, and pay you based on current market prices, often with insured shipping.
● For Non-Precious Metal Restorations
● Dandy restorations that need refabrication do not have to be returned to us.
● Scrap Metal Dealers: various scrap metals, offering pickup or drop-off, though you'd need to confirm if they take small dental items.
● General Recycling: Check with your local sanitation department for guidelines on disposing of bulk or metal items if it's not a dental office scenario.
