Zirconia crowns in dentistry: The modern solution for teeth
What is a circle crown?
Zirconium crown is a modern orthopedic design used in dentistry to restore damaged or missing teeth. It consists of a durable carcass made of zirconium dioxide, a material ideal for human tissues, with a porcelain coating.
Advantages of circular crowns:
- Biocompatibility: Zirconia crowns are well tolerated without causing allergic reactions or irritation of the gums.
- Natural appearance: Thanks to the high transparency of the material, the prosthesis has the most natural appearance.
- Durability and longevity: With proper care they can last up to 20 years, providing a long-term solution.
- Adjustment to the density: Zirconia crowns adhere tightly to the density, and there are no gaps between the teeth and soft tissues.
- Material lightness: Due to its small weight, the patient quickly adapts to the prosthetic design.
- Conservation of dental tissue: The minimum part of the hard tissue is removed when cutting.
- Universality: Suitable for prosthetics of any zone, including front and rear units.
Indications for the installation of circular crowns:
* Repair of damaged or missing teeth:
When teeth are damaged or absent, zirconia crowns provide a reliable solution.
* Smile restoration:
They help to restore the smile by improving its appearance.
* Impossibility to restore the floppy:
When the damage to the teeth is too great for normal flats, circular crowns become a necessity.
* Allergy to other materials:
If the patient is allergic to other materials, zirconia crowns are a safe option.
* Prosthetic on the implant:
Used for prosthetics on implants, providing reliable fixation.
Steps of the prosthetic process:
- Consultation and planning:
The doctor examines the oral cavity, performs X-rays, and creates a treatment plan.
- Preparation and manufacture:
Dental tissue removal and creation of a prosthetic model using a 3D scanner.
The crown is manufactured in a laboratory using high technology.
- Sample and fixation:
The dentist checks the fit of the prosthesis and makes adjustments for maximum comfort. Then the crown is fixed to the teeth.
Care for Zirconia crowns:
* Regular oral hygiene with a soft brush and toothbrush.
* Avoid hard and sticky food.
* Prevention of scratching of solid objects.
* Use of soft toothpastes without abrasive substances.
* Regular visits to the dentist to check the condition of the prostheses and general dental care.
