The zirconia-ceramic crown:

The zirconia-ceramic crown is a modern dental restoration option, using a robust material called zirconia, which offers exceptional strength and natural aesthetics. Combining a zirconia framework with a ceramic coating, this crown is valued for its durability, biocompatibility and ability to mimic the colour of natural teeth. Its use has grown in popularity due to its many advantages, making it a preferred choice for quality dental restorations.

 

 

The advantages of zirconia crowns are numerous:

 

• Light transmission: Thanks to their white metal structure on the inside, zirconia crowns transmit light in a similar way to natural teeth, providing perfect aesthetics.
• Mechanical properties: Zirconia crowns have superior mechanical properties to those of ceramic crowns, while being less fragile.
• Natural appearance: Zirconia crowns offer a natural appearance that blends perfectly with the patient's original dentition.
• Non-allergenic and non-toxic: Zirconia is non-allergenic and non-toxic, ensuring maximum compatibility with oral tissues.
• Protection against thermal sensitivity: Zirconia crowns offer greater protection against thermal sensitivity, reducing the sensation of pain associated with temperature variations.
• Strength for molars: Due to its high strength, a zirconia crown can be used to replace molars, which are subject to significant pressure when chewing.
• Resistance to infection: Zirconia crowns offer improved resistance to dental infections.
• Use for bridges: The zirconia-ceramic crown can also be used for bridges because of its strong framework, offering a durable solution for replacing several missing teeth.
