There are a number of different dental alloys that can be used in the fabrication of dental crowns, either all-metal or porcelain-fused-to-metal. Notice that the term alloy was used in the preceeding sentence. No pure metals are used, not even gold. This is because the physical properties of dental alloys are superior, as related to those characteristics needed for a dental crown.
