1. Crowns: Zirconia crowns are favored for their strength, durability and aesthetic appearance. It can be complete, translucent or layered zirconia with excellent physical and mechanical properties to withstand forces in the mouth for patients who grind their teeth or chew hard.
2. Bridges: Zirconia ceramics are also used to make dental bridges to restore missing teeth. Its high strength and stability ensures the stability and durability of dental bridges.
3. Inlay Restorations: In cases where teeth are partially damaged, zirconia materials can be used for inlay restorations to protect and restore teeth.
4. Dental implants: Zirconia ceramic dental implants are biocompatible and have excellent stability. Zirconia ceramic implants eliminate black lines along the gum line and provide better aesthetic results than traditional metal implants. At the same time, metal-free zirconia ceramic implants are more favorable to gum health.
5. Brackets: Polycrystalline zirconia ceramic brackets have become an alternative to aluminum oxide ceramic brackets and metal brackets. In orthodontics, brackets are used as restraining elements for the teeth and to keep the wires of the braces away from the teeth. The use of zirconia ceramic brackets has improved the comfort and aesthetics of orthodontic treatment.
