Tin Plating increases the retention strength of cements on gold or palladium crowns, bridges and inlays. 

Yates & Bird www.yates-motloid.com Tin Plater was specifically designed for electrolytically bonding pure tin (.999 fine) onto crowns and inlays.  Research* has shown that the addition of a fine layer of tin coating significantly increases the retention (up to 250%) of a restoration when used in conjunction with glass ionomer cements and Bis-GMA resins, such as Panavia, Superbond and New Bond. 

 
Tin Plating is recommended for precious and semi-precious metals (on crowns, bridges, inlays, and Maryland Bridges) because these metals do not oxidize as much as base metals do, and therefore are harder to bond.  In fact, tin plating serves the same function for precious and semi-precious metals as acid-etching does for non-precious.

Recommended plating time of a finished, cleaned and polished item is just two minutes.  The resulting plating thickness is uniform, and the plater selectively plates metal (i.e. porcelain and other materials will not be affected).

Yates & Bird is a veteran manufacturer of plating products.  The flagship product is the Gold Plater, which increases the biocompatibility and esthetics of non-precious and semi-precious appliances.

Tin Plater comes complete with a regulated power source, one plating container with solid tin anode and matte tin plating solution.  It is available immediately at $139.
