Zirconia crowns are one-of the most popular prosthetic techniques in modern dentistry. The crowns are made of zirconium dioxide. This technology is relatively new and modern in dentistry. Zirconium dioxide is distinguished by its high durability, aesthetics, and biocompatibility, which is why zirconia crowns are considered one of the best options for prosthetics.

The advantages of zirconia crowns are:

• The material is made of white powdered ceramic, which makes the zirconia crown look very similar to a natural tooth.

• Biocompatibility - does not cause allergies or gum irritation, which is especially important for patients with allergies.

• High aesthetics;

• Unlike other crowns, there is no dark metal line at the gums, as zirconia crowns contain no metal at all.

• Minimal thermal conductivity - does not cause sensitivity when eating hot or cold food.

 

Types of zirconia crowns

1. Zirconia-ceramic crowns

Zirconia-ceramic crowns consist of a hard zirconium dioxide framework covered by a thin layer of porcelain. This layer ensures exceptional aesthetics, making them ideal for front teeth or multi-unit bridges.

2. Full-anatomic (monolithic) zirconia crowns

Full-anatomic crowns are made entirely of zirconium dioxide, without additional layers. They are very durable, making them ideal for chewing teeth.

Zirconia-ceramic crowns or full anatomic zirconia crowns: which one to choose?

The choice between zirconia-ceramic crowns and anatomical zirconia crowns depends on your needs:

·     Zirconia-ceramic crowns: if you prioritize high aesthetics and natural appearance for front teeth, but keep in mind that the porcelain layer can be damaged if you eat hard food.

·       Anatomic zirconia crowns: this option is best for "chewing" tooth prosthetics, as it withstands heavy loads and is mainly recommended for back teeth.
