What is the treatment of zirconium?
Zirconium aesthetic dental applications and coating solutions of zirconium materials are listed as the closest treatment methods to tooth color.
Zirconium oxide is a porcelain with high resistance. Zirconium porcelain is used to provide a more natural appearance than traditional metal-backed porcelain systems in patients with high aesthetic expectations. In dental supported crown bridge prostheses, implant crown crown bridge prosthesis is preferred.
Do zirconia coatings come out?
Zirconia coatings have advantages for the patient. Metal alloys used in other metal-backed porcelain negatively affect light transmission. Zirconium is similar to the color of the teeth and gives a more natural look. It is a durable and corrosion resistant material.
Zirconia coating process prosthesis construction period lasts 3-5 sessions and is completed within 7-10 days. However, the sessions may be extended depending on the patient’s wishes.
Zirconia crowns are more similar to natural teeth than traditional metal-supported crowns. With these materials, many different color options are offered and appropriate crowns can be prepared for patients’ natural teeth.
Zirconium can also be used on implant crowns. Even more abutment parts can be achieved by using zirconium material. Satisfactory treatments can be made especially in the anterior teeth. Zirconium is a texture-friendly material. Corrosion in some metal alloys, black-gray color reflection in tooth tissues and gums are eliminated in zirconium.
What is the color of zirconium? How should zirconium care be?
Zirconium does not show serious coloration as long as the oral care is taken care of. However, in patients with excessive cigarette tea coffee consumption which does not pay attention to oral hygiene, there may be staining on natural teeth.
Zirconia coating maintenance is the same as the cleaning procedure for natural teeth. The daily dental care needs to be done for zirconium. The right brushing technique and flossing 2-3 times a day will be sufficient for the maintenance and long-term use of zirconium prostheses.
Do zirconia coatings damage the teeth?
In all types of crowns, ie the teeth to be plated, some tooth erosion and need to make a denture tooth to be made. Therefore, for the zirconium prostheses, a little amount of erosion is done in the teeth, but this amount is not more than the abrasion done for metal-supported coatings.
The fracture resistance and durability of zirconium are very high. However, it is not correct to give a definite lifespan in prostheses. Because the material used until the muscle activation of the person, abnormal habits, eating habits also affect the life of the prosthesis.
