Let everyone have a comprehensive understanding of zirconium dioxide all-ceramic teeth

Zirconia all-ceramic teeth are a high-tech method of cosmetic tooth restoration that has only been developed in recent years. They are made through computer-aided design, laser scanning, and then controlled grinding by a computer program. It has a good translucent appearance, high density and strength, and can solve the problem that all-ceramic systems cannot make long bridges.

All-ceramic teeth have the characteristics of perfectly tight edges, no gingival inflammation, and no obstruction to X-rays. Their biocompatibility is better than that of various metal crowns, and they can achieve long-lasting repair results clinically.

Zirconia porcelain teeth are a mineral found in nature as baddeleyite. Its density and strength are very high, its strength is 1.5 times higher than the second generation of EMPRESS, and more than 60% higher than INCERAM zirconia. With its unique fracture resistance and strong curing performance after fracture, it can produce more than 6 units of porcelain bridges. It solves the problem that all-ceramic systems cannot make long bridges.

Zirconia porcelain teeth are an excellent high-tech biomaterial. It has good biocompatibility and is better than various metal alloys, including gold. In addition, there is no irritation or allergic reaction to the gums, the natural feeling of tooth color and the unobvious crown edge are also the benefits of using zirconium dioxide all-ceramic restoration.

  advantage

1. Zirconium dioxide is a mineral found in nature as baddeleyite. Medical zirconium oxide has been cleaned and processed, and a small amount of α-ray residue remains in the zirconium. Its penetration depth is very small, only 60 microns.

2. High density and strength.

(1) The strength is 1.5 times higher than the second generation EMPRESS.

(2) The strength is more than 60% higher than INCERAM alumina.

(3) Unique crack resistance and strong curing performance after cracking.

(4) Porcelain bridges of more than 6 units can be made, which solves the problem that all all-ceramic systems cannot make long bridges.

3. The natural feeling of tooth color and the unobvious crown edge are also the benefits of using zirconium dioxide all-ceramic restoration. In particular, patients who have high aesthetic requirements pay more attention to the natural color, because this makes the restoration and the healthy teeth integrated and difficult to distinguish.

4. Did you know? If the dentures in your mouth are metal-containing porcelain crowns, they will be affected or even removed when you need to undergo a skull X-ray, CT, or MRI examination. Non-metallic zirconium dioxide has no obstruction to X-rays. As long as the zirconium dioxide porcelain teeth are embedded, there is no need to remove the dentures when skull X-rays, CT, or MRI examinations are required in the future, saving a lot of trouble.

5. Zirconium dioxide is an excellent high-tech biomaterial. It has good biocompatibility and is better than various metal alloys, including gold. Zirconium dioxide is non-irritating to the gums and has no allergic reaction. It is very suitable for use in the oral cavity and avoids adverse reactions such as allergies, irritation, and corrosion caused by metal in the oral cavity.

6. Compared with other all-ceramic restoration materials, the strength advantage of zirconium dioxide material allows doctors to achieve extremely high strength without excessive grinding of the patient’s real teeth. Among them, Vita all-ceramic plus yttrium-stabilized zirconia It is also known as ceramic steel.

7. Zirconia porcelain teeth are of extremely high quality. They are of high quality not only because of their expensive materials and equipment, but also because they use the most advanced computer-aided design, laser scanning, and computer program-controlled grinding and production. Complete, perfect.

  shortcoming

A: Problems with loosening, falling off, perforation or rupture

The main reason why some people’s teeth become loose and fall off after getting them done: insufficient retention. If the bonding agent is dissolved due to excessive biting force, traumatic bite or loose edge, the porcelain teeth should be removed and redesigned. Experts remind: When perforation or rupture occurs, it is usually caused by insufficient thickness, excessive biting force, or excessive grinding. In this case, you must see a doctor immediately, because food residues will penetrate through the perforation and corrode the real teeth inside the porcelain teeth. If not treated in time, the teeth will not be saved.

B: Pain problem

After having zirconium dioxide porcelain teeth, you may feel pain when drinking hot or cold water at first, but it will usually disappear after a while, so don’t be nervous. If the pain gets worse and worse, and even develops to the point where it hurts even without drinking water or even at night, it is pulpitis. You should see a doctor as soon as possible. The doctor will often remove the zirconium dioxide porcelain teeth first and perform root canal treatment on the tooth. After the tooth pain disappears, the zirconium dioxide porcelain teeth will be remade.

Another kind of pain is bite pain. It doesn’t hurt when drinking water, but it hurts when biting something. It is mostly caused by bite trauma. Just go to a doctor to adjust the bite. Some people are afraid of troublesome doctors and don’t care about bite pain. The result is long-term. , periodontal problems arise, making the treatment procedure more complicated.

C: Expensive

The high price is also one of the shortcomings of zirconium dioxide porcelain teeth. Generally, zirconium dioxide porcelain teeth cost two thousand to five thousand or more. In general, porcelain teeth made of zirconium dioxide material are currently the best porcelain teeth at home and abroad. The material itself has no shortcomings. It has high requirements on the doctor's skills and all aspects of equipment, so it is the best porcelain teeth at home and abroad. You must choose a competent hospital for zirconia porcelain teeth. Only in this way can you achieve the best repair effect.

  Precautions

Regarding the precautions for zirconium dioxide porcelain teeth, the main points are as follows:

First, you should eat soft food when wearing zirconium dioxide porcelain teeth for the first time, and then eat normal food after getting used to it.

Second, patients who experience mild discomfort when wearing zirconium dioxide for the first time should practice using it patiently and gradually adapt to it.

Third, zirconium dioxide porcelain teeth will break if they are subjected to pressure exceeding its stress range, so do not bite too hard food, such as walnuts.

Fourth, in the initial stage compared with before repair, the alignment of the upper and lower tooth cusps may change. Eat slowly and gradually adapt to avoid biting the buccal and tongue mucosa.

Fifth, the joint between zirconium dioxide porcelain and abutment teeth can easily accumulate plaque and form tartar. You should pay attention to keeping your mouth clean, develop the habit of brushing your teeth after meals, use dental floss to clean between the teeth, and go to the hospital for regular check-ups. , clean teeth

6. Since part of the tooth enamel is removed during tooth preparation, you may experience hot and cold sensitivity or pain when you first wear porcelain teeth, which will slowly ease over time.

7. When wearing zirconium dioxide porcelain teeth for the first time, avoid eating foods that are too cold or too hot to avoid triggering pain. You can eat normally after about two weeks.

Features

1. Natural color. Compared with the color of traditional porcelain teeth, the color of zirconium dioxide porcelain teeth is natural and smooth, with a realistic appearance and strong transparency.

2. Good biocompatibility. It has no irritation or allergic reaction to the gums and will not form black lines on the gums. It is very suitable for use in the oral cavity and avoids allergy, irritation, corrosion and other adverse irritations caused by traditional metal porcelain teeth in the oral cavity.

3. The tooth body has high strength and hardness. Unique fracture resistance and strong curing properties after fracture make the tooth stronger.

4. High precision and good edge adhesion. Zirconia porcelain teeth ensure the accuracy of the molded crown and excellent edge sealing, so that the made porcelain teeth fit perfectly with the abutments in the patient's mouth.
