Zirconia crowns are biocompatible.
They do not cause allergic reactions and are suitable for use in dental restorations due to their excellent mechanical properties and esthetic qualities.
5 key points to know
1. Biocompatibility
Zirconia is compatible with human tissues and does not provoke allergic reactions.
This is a significant advantage over some traditional materials used for dental crowns.
This compatibility ensures that zirconia can be safely used in dental applications without adverse effects on the patient's health.
2. Mechanical Properties
Zirconia crowns are made from high-strength ceramic materials, specifically yttria-stabilized zirconia.
This material offers high fracture strength and toughness.
Its mechanical properties are superior to those of other dental ceramics, making it an ideal choice for dental restorations that require durability and resistance to mechanical stresses.
The high flexural strength of over 800 MPa classifies zirconia as a Class 5 material, providing an additional safety margin for its use in dental applications.
3. Esthetics and Fit
Zirconia crowns are all-ceramic, meaning they do not contain any metal.
This contributes to their excellent esthetic properties.
They are homogeneous in color, closely matching the natural appearance of teeth.
The accuracy of fit is also crucial for the clinical success of all-ceramic crowns.
Zirconia copings provide good fit accuracy, contributing to their overall effectiveness and patient satisfaction.
4. Clinical Use and Safety
The use of zirconia in dentistry has been supported by extensive research and development.
Numerous studies confirm its safety and efficacy.
The material has been used in orthopedics and dentistry for several years, demonstrating its long-term reliability and biocompatibility.
The transformation of tetragonal zirconia to monoclinic zirconia under stress, which results in a volume expansion that can prevent crack propagation, further enhances the material's suitability for dental applications.
5. Summary
In summary, zirconia crowns are biocompatible, offering superior mechanical properties, excellent esthetics, and a good fit.
They make them a safe and effective choice for dental restorations.
