Are zirconium dioxide teeth really that good?
For a long time, porcelain teeth have been a quick and effective way to repair teeth, but the metal ions in porcelain teeth can cause adverse reactions to the human body, such as blackening of the gums, and bleeding and shrinking gums.
Due to the presence of the metal inner crown in porcelain teeth, the light transmission, color and shape are quite different from natural teeth, and it will produce a blue-gray effect under the light.
At the same time, metal porcelain teeth are unstable under the action of bacteria in the liquid oral acid and alkali environment, and patients have certain interference with metals when doing CT MRI, so the oral medical community has been working to change this state, and with the continuous advancement of technology, zirconium dioxide all-ceramic series came into being. This high-quality ceramic material will surely become the trend of cosmetic dental restoration in the future.
Zirconia all-porcelain teeth is a high-tech cosmetic restoration method that has only been carried out in recent years, which is made by computer-aided design, laser scanning, and then controlled grinding by computer programs.
Medical zirconia is cleaned and processed, retaining a small number of residual α rays in the zirconium and penetrating at a very small depth of only 60 microns. The density and strength of zirconia all-porcelain teeth are quite high, the strength is 1.5 times higher than EMPRESS II, more than 60% higher than INCERAM zirconia, coupled with the unique rupture resistance and strong curing performance after rupture, more than 6 units of all-porcelain bridges can be made, solving the problem that all all-ceramic systems cannot be made long bridges.
Zirconium dioxide all-porcelain teeth have extremely natural teeth color and crown edges are not obvious, especially for patients with high aesthetic requirements and value their natural color, it is the best way to aesthetically cosmetic. Zirconia all-porcelain teeth make it difficult to distinguish restoration from healthy teeth.
