Dental crowns are caps that cover a tooth or dental implant. Dentists often recommend crowns as a way to support broken, weak, or misshapen teeth.
Dental crowns can also be used to cover a heavily worn or severely discolored tooth. They can also be used with bridges to strengthen multiple teeth.
When it comes to the materials that crowns are made of, you have several possible options, including ceramic and metal. Another option currently available for some people is zirconium crowns. Zirconium crowns are made from zirconium dioxide, a very durable type of ceramic material.
TO SUMMARIZE THE BENEFITS OF ZIRCONIUM BRIEFLY
Crowns made of zirconia are becoming more common and offer some advantages.
ZIRCONIUM IS STRONG
One of the biggest advantages f X zirconium is it strength and durability. Consider how much force your back teeth exert on the food you chew.
Your crowns need to be made of a strong material, so zirconium can be a good choice for crowns at the back of your mouth. In addition, since zirconium is very strong, the dentist will not have to make much preparation for your tooth and will be able to finalize your treatment in a short time.
ZIRCONIUM IS LONG LASTING
According to many studies, zirconium-based crowns have been as successful as metal-based crowns for 5 years. Crowns made of zirconium, called monolithic zirconium, are particularly durable.
ZIRCONIUM IS THE CHOICE FOR BIOCOMPABILITY
Zirconium is the choice of many dentists because of its bihocompatibility; this means it is less likely to stimulate the body to produce a reaction or immunological response, such as inflammation.
It is a good alternative to metal supported fixed dentures, there is no graying of the gums. The most important feature is that such a solid material has good light transmittance. This provides very good aesthetic results. It is the ideal dental coating material that can be used comfortably in patients with metal allergies. The thermal conductivity of zirconium is low, it does not cause sensitivity on the teeth.
It can be applied to both anterior and posterior teeth. It is suitable for use in single tooth veneers or bridge prostheses. Zirconium can also be applied on the implants. Choosing a tissue-friendly material against possible infections and the physician’s careful work with the right technique have made zirconium successful in implant prostheses.
