Advantages and Disadvantages of ZIRCONIA DENTAL CROWNS

 

 

 

Advantages and Disadvantages of

ZIRCONIA DENTAL CROWNS:

 

 

 

 

To provide patients with excellent

dental restorations,

we choose zirconia crowns lately.

Zirconia crowns are chosen over

conventional PFMs (Porcelain Fused to Metal)

or full-gold crowns due to their superior

strength, durability, and excellent aesthetics.

 

 

 

 

Advantages of Choosing Zirconia Crowns

-

- Zirconia crowns are highly biocompatible,

as the smooth surface helps to reduce plaque

accumulation. Full zirconia (Solid) crowns are

extremely strong. Even though the porcelain

used for layering does not have the strength of

Full zirconia (Solid), they are designed

to bond with the zirconium substructure and

chipping and fracturing are extremely rare.

The material also promotes a healthy

tissue response.

 

 

- Zirconia is suitable for patients with metal

allergies or who would prefer to have

metal-free restorations.

 

-Zirconia is metal-free, which prevents

darkening around the gingival area.

This eliminates the possibility of metal margins

becoming exposed due to gum recession.

 

-The translucent nature of this material can

transmit the color of adjacent teeth and

it is manufactured in a wide variety of

shades, making it easy to accurately match

the color of the patient’s natural teeth.

 

-Using computer-aided design and

manufacturing processes provide patients

with a precise fit, reducing the chair-side

time required for adjusting and cementing

these restorations.

 

-Zirconia crowns are comfortable for patients,

as they do not transmit hot and cold in the

same way as conventional PFMs.

Are There Any Disadvantages of

Having a Zirconia Crown?

 

The disadvantages of zirconia crowns are

minimal. The toughness of the material

has raised some concerns about friction

against the tooth root and wearing down

opposing teeth. Frequent checks,

however, help to reduce any possible

risks to opposing teeth.
