Economically optimized Callisto alloys: Boost Competitiveness and Profitability in your Laboratory Metal framework supported indications often remain the restoration of choice for both clinicians and technicians. Yet, selecting the most cost effective alloy amidst continuously rising precious metal prices can be a challenge. Various criteria need to be carefully considered in order to balance technical properties and economic efficiency. Factors such as the purchase price per gram, the alloys yield in units, or hidden opportunity costs associated with adopting a new alloy all have significant influence on the bottom-line profitability of your laboratory. Introducing Callisto High Gold alloys. These innovative materials not only feature meticulously formulated compositions optimized specifically to achieve cost savings without sacrificing their rich yellow color, high strength, or wide indication range. They are also designed to improve casting and finishing characteristics to facilitate easy integration into your work processes. It is this comprehensive approach to producing high quality, biocompatible performance alloys that provides Peace of Mind to dental professionals around the world for over 100 years.

Alloy Composition
The alloys Callisto 84 and Callisto 86 offer convincing advantages:
Features Reduced platinum content Low density Rich yellow colour Easy processing Good biocompatibility Benefits - High-gold alloy at a lower purchasing price - Lower alloy consumption per unit - Esthetically appealing restorations - Time-saving laboratory procedure - Satisfied patients

Calculate your Bottom Line

Compare all relevant cost components instantly before your next alloy purchase. Simply enter the density and purchase price of the alloys you are considering. The enclosed Bottom-Line Calculator immediately identifies the most economical alternative for you. Its that simple.

Cost Calculation Examples

Lower Density produces Savings per Unit

Lower Density produces Savings per Unit even at higher Purchase Price
Alloy 3 14.00 0.10 1.40 22.21 300.00 13.51 381.93 Alloy 4 11.00 0.10 1.10 28.27 330.00 11.67 330.00 51.93

Lower Purchase Price at similar density only produces upfront savings
