The zirconium oxide and lithium di-silicate is a highly resistant bio-compatible material, used in general medicine for hip prostheses. In dentistry, it is used to create ceramic zirconium dental crowns.
- High durability
- Work precision
- Absence of grey lines
- Lack of gum irritation
The advantages of using zirconium as a support for ceramic dental crowns are:
- It presents a trans-lucidity similar to the one of the teeth, so that the light reflected by the zirconium looks like a natural tooth, although the support is metallic
- It has a higher durability with respect to the other materials used as a support
- It does not produce grey lines on the gums, like the metal-ceramic crowns
- The patient does not often feel a metallic taste
- The zirconium dental crowns are much lighter than the metallic ones, thus the patient gets used to it more easily
- It does not cause allergies
- It does not cause gum (nerve) irritations
- The precision of a zirconium work is guaranteed because the structure is performed by means of a computer (called cad/cam), by cutting a block of zirconium
