The Zirconia Restoration Properties: A Versatile Restorative Material

The enigma of the bilayered zirconia restoration.

Current status of zirconia restoration.

During the past decade, zirconia-based ceramics have been successfully introduced into the clinic to fabricate fixed dental prostheses (FDPs), along with a dental computer-aided/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) system. In this article (1) development of dental ceramics, (2) the current status of dental CAD/CAM systems, (3) CAD/CAM and zirconia restoration, (4) bond between zirconia and ve...

Do zirconia ceramics have a future in restorative dentistry?

Zirconia a Bio-inert Implant Material

Implant ology has become a choice for replacement of missing teeth. Replacements in the anterior zone where aesthetic concern are important were new aesthetic materials are being used. Traditionally Titanium which has been used for past three decades has limitations like hypersensitivity and lack of aesthetics. Zirconia is now being introduced as an aesthetic alternative for implant placement. ...

The Zirconia: a new dental ceramic material. An overview.

Yttrium tetragonal Zirconia polycrystals (Y-TZP) based systems are the more recent addition in to the high-strength all-ceramic systems that are used for crowns and fixed partial dentures. CAD/CAM produced Y-TZP based systems are being used and are said to be in demand in the aesthetic zone and in stress bearing regions as well. This systematic overview covers results of recent scientific studi...
