Diş Hekimliği – Zirconium Restorations | agizsorunlari.com

For many years metal supported porcelain crowns have been used to restore teeth. But nowadays zirconium have quickly become the preferred material for dental crowns instead of metals. Zirconia gives the strength and the porcelain gives the appearance of a normal tooth. Metal cores block the light but Zirconium allows light to pass as a normal tooth and reflects light the same way and that gives a natural look. Zirconium is a very strong substance that can endure wear and tear of everyday use. They can be used safely in both anterior and posterior teeth.

Zirconium is a light permeable material which is more durable than metal . As it is light permeable, it reflects the original color of the underlying tooth. This reveals an image very similar to the real tooth, and very good results are obtained also aesthetically. Zirconium is a material also compatible with the gums (biocompatible). Researchs have shown that there is a binding between the zirconia and gums . This ensures a better alignment between the gums and veneers, it both looks better and no food accumulation occurs.

Features and benefits

Zirconium is a recently emerged material that has revolutionized dentistry. Because of its exceptional qualities, it can be utilized for various purposes.

• Zirconia is durable and tough. It’s basically the strongest material used in dentistry to this point.

• Because it is a white ceramic with very good translucency features, zirconium restorations are highly aesthetic because they do not contain any metal in their structure.

• The zirconia core structure can be layered with aesthetic porcelain to create the final color and shape of the tooth.

• Similar to gold, it is very well tolerated by the body, has no allergic effects and, because it is not a metal, it never corrodes.

• Because they are executed by computer systems, zirconium-based prostheses are highly precise.
