Zirconium is a metal that is white in color and also has light transmittance. It has a very high resistance against the pressures on it. It is biologically tissue friendly. While zirconium-based porcelains provide an aesthetic and natural appearance in the anterior teeth, on the other hand, they are more preferred today because they are resistant to use in the posterior teeth. Zirconium dental veneer, which is a problem-free infrastructure option for those with metal allergies, increases the quality of life of people by creating a natural and aesthetic appearance in the patient’s mouth.
ZIRCONIUM COATING APPLICATION WITH QUESTIONS
On which teeth can zirconium crown be applied?
Zirconium veneers can be applied to all teeth in the anterior and posterior regions.
What are the zirconium coating application stages?
The tooth is slightly reduced as in metal-supported veneers, and when the gingiva becomes healthy, a precise measurement is taken with special impression materials and spoons suitable for the mouth. Reduction procedures are performed under local anesthesia, and then a temporary tooth-colored coating is applied to prevent stinging in hot and cold temperatures. The model is prepared according to the measurement taken and a wax model of your teeth is created on the model. This model is transferred to the computer environment by means of an optical reader. This information from the model is edited via software. The next step is to transfer the ready draft to the zirconium oxide block. The scraper device gives the final shape to the substructure of your teeth by abrading the zirconium block without fail according to the information given. After the firing stage, it finishes the work by adding ceramic porcelain in the appropriate color on the zirconium substructures. Thanks to zirconium oxide, which is a computer and software supported high-tech product, strong and aesthetic coatings and restorations can be successfully made without using metal.
Does the zirconium coating have any allergy risks?
Thanks to its biological compatibility, it does not cause allergies. Some people in the community are allergic to metal. When these people want to have a dental veneer, it is necessary to have a zirconium veneer. Otherwise, it may face many dental and gum diseases such as inflammation of the gums, gingival recession, bleeding in the gums, gingival swelling, redness, etc.
What are the advantages of the application?
Lack of sensitivity to cold and hot
Does not cause allergies (fully compatible with tissue)
Color is not dull or dull (not opaque)
Perfect alignment of the gums
Being hygienic (less microorganism retention on its surface)
Fully compatible with body tissues and mouth tissues
What is the level of hot-cold interaction of zirconium coating?
Compared to other coatings, zirconium coating conducts heat less because of its low thermal conductivity. Thus, they are not affected by hot and cold in the mouth, and they do not cause sensitivity in the teeth.
Does the color of zirconium crowns change over time?
It can be applied to teeth of any color. A tooth with a very dark color can be covered with a zirconium coating in the desired color. The actual color of the tooth does not affect the color of the zirconium coating. Even after many years, the color of the zirconium tooth coating does not change.
How to care for teeth after application?
Teeth are brushed like normal toothbrushes. Superfloss is used for floss and toothless areas. When physicians visit regularly every 6 months, possible problems are foreseen and precautions are taken.
Aesthetic tooth is the whole of the applications that include all the procedures in the planning, design and application process of teeth that suit the person, make the individual feel happy, befitting his/her face shape, lips and skin color.
Aesthetic dentistry is the field of dentistry in which some basic procedures are applied, as well as entering the field of general dentistry, which aims to create a healthy visual and aesthetic smile by eliminating the problems caused by the disorders and problems in the teeth.
