Usage Areas of Full Zirconium Crowns

• Broken or Cracked Teeth: Repairing and protecting broken or cracked teeth.

Advantages of Full Zirconium Crowns

• Aesthetic Appearance: Zirconium provides an aesthetic that is very similar to natural tooth enamel and offers a natural appearance thanks to its opaque structure.

• Durability: Zirconium is a very durable material and is resistant to wear, breakage or cracking.

• Biocompatibility: Zirconium is perfectly compatible with the body and the risk of allergic reactions is low.

• Gum Compatible: Since it is compatible with the gums, it does not cause gum irritation and reduces the risk of gum recession.

• Does not contain metal: Since it does not contain metal, it can be used safely in people with metal allergies and offers a more aesthetic appearance than metal-supported crowns.

• Color Constancy: Zirconium does not change color over time and remains white and bright for a long time.

Care of Full Zirconium Crowns

• Good Oral Hygiene: For the longevity of zirconium crowns, it is important to brush your teeth regularly and floss.

• Regular Dentist Checkups: Having regular checkups with your dentist helps protect your crown and overall oral health.

• Avoiding Hard Foods: It is important to avoid biting into hard foods to avoid damage to the crown.

Full zirconium crowns are an effective way to improve your teeth both aesthetically and functionally. Your dentist will determine the most suitable treatment plan for you, ensuring that you make the most of the advantages of zirconium crowns.

The process of creating and placing a complete zirconia crown typically includes the following steps:

1. Preparation of teeth: The relevant tooth is prepared by removing the decayed or damaged parts and reshaping it to fit the crown.

2. Impression: An impression or digital scan is taken from the prepared tooth, which will serve as a guide for the design of the zirconium crown in the dental laboratory.

3. Crown fabrication: Experienced dental technicians in a dental laboratory use impressions or digital scanning to design and fabricate a zirconia crown. Computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology can be used to ensure a perfect fit and optimum aesthetics.

4. Temporary crown: While making a zirconium crown, a temporary crown can be placed on the prepared tooth to protect it and maintain its functionality.

5. Crown placement: When the zirconium crown is ready, its fit, shape and color are tested. Necessary corrections can be made before permanent placement. The tooth is cleaned and the zirconia crown is permanently bonded to the tooth using dental filling material or adhesive agent.
