Zirconia

Zirconia is an innovative system for esthetic metal-free crowns and bridges. The reliability of zircon restorations is backed by more than five years of proven clinical success. The system is used to fabricate anterior or posterior single units or multi-unit bridge restorations out of translucent, biocompatible zirconia, the strongest and toughest dental ceramic.

Milled crown made of zircon crystal or so-called zircon crown is the most modern solution of tooth-crowning. Also this solution includes a basic construction that is milled of zircon crystal and it is then covered with plastic porcelain. Advantage of this method is the fact that zircon ceramic is very firm and it can be applied to more serious dentition defects, i.e. loss of 3-4 neighbouring teeth.

Advantages

  • Low fracture rate indicating minimal chipping smiliar to PFM crowns
  • Alumina enables light transmission in the esthetic zone
  • Optimal all-ceramic strength with good esthetics
  • 0.6 mm thickness for general usage in any position
  • 0.4 mm thickness for superior esthetics and translucency
  • Zirconia for the higher load situations, extremely high flexural strength, 1200 MPa
  • Long term clinical success data of over 15 years
