Zirconia Solid

Zirconia has a comparable flexural strength of traditional PFM restorations while maintaining a natural and vibrant translucency. Zirconia Solid is 100% metal-free, a feature that prevents gingival darkening and removes the possibility of exposing metallic margins if gum recession begins. They are naturally esthetic, transmit the color of adjacent teeth, and can be matched to any shade. Zirconia Solid is one of the strongest restorations available for any patient who may have bruxing or grinding issues. Utilizing CAD/CAM technology, it also has a precise marginal fit that can significantly reduce chair time. Since traditional cementation is recommended, there is no need to bond the restoration.

Features

  • High flexural strength

  • Highly biocompatible

  • Low CTE

  • CAD/CAM milled for precise marginal fit

  • Tooth-colored material

  • Bond or cement

Benefits

  • Long-term reliability

  • Healthy tissue response

  • Synthetic ceramics for low wear

  • Better shading

  • Hypoallergenic

  • Canada restricts bridges to not more than 6 units with no more than 2 pontics between 2 posts

Contraindications

  • Not recommended for anterior crowns, bridges, or veneers in the esthetic zone due to opacity of the material Prep

  • Incisal/Occlusal Reduction: 1.5 mm (2.0 mm for bridges)

  • Facial Reduction: 1.2 mm (1.5mm for bridges)

  • Cervical Reduction: 1.0 mm reduction with bevel or shoulder margin (knife edge margin is also suitable)
