Reliability of zirconia restorations

Zirconia is a fully biocompatible material and poses no harm or risk of complications when exposed to living tissue for long periods of time. it is perfectly safe and maintains a smooth surface throughout its lifespan, preventing any irritation or abrasion of surrounding tissue or teeth.

The following article is a case history from the office of dr. sylvio caro, a prosthodontist from westmount, canada.

White Possibilities

The case presented here is one in which a novel solution was achieved utilizing zirconia in a very challenging situation. the patient is a 70+ year old woman who had a history of multiple implant procedures over the past 18 years and had never made it past the temporary restorations due to complications with the implants.

Zirconia made a significant appearance on the dental horizon about 5 years ago. It provided an alternative for all ceramic crowns and bridges. today, a milling procedure is the only reliable way to create zirconia restorative components for dental use.
