ZIRCONIA IN DENTISTRY

In 1969, Zirconium oxide was first used for medical purposes. There are many uses of Zirconium oxide, but today there are only three types of Zirconia, containing ceramic, used in dental applications:

1. Yttrium cation-doped tetragonal zirconia polycrystals

2. Magnesium cation-doped partially stabilized zirconia

3. Zirconia toughened alumina

Zirconia has created superior solutions for many different dental procedures. The material is used for procedures that include; Zirconia-Based Dental Posts, Zirconia-Based Crown and Bridge, Zirconia-Based Implant Abutments, and Zirconia-Based Esthetic Orthodontic Brackets.

Zirconia has many benefits compared to other materials and products such as PFM (porcelain-fused-to-metal) or Titanium. Please compare Zirconia using any of the links below
