Why Choose Zirconia Blocks for Your Dental Restorations?

Teeth are the strongest organs in the human body and can last for thousands of years. At the same time, teeth are very fragile and cannot withstand the corrosion of acid substances. Under the continuous attack of dental plaque biofilm, when the hard tissue of the teeth is destroyed and can no longer protect the pulp, the teeth will become extremely sensitive, and caries, black teeth, and tooth fractures will follow, so the pain will always linger. If you don't want to remove the teeth, you can choose root canal treatment to kill the necrotic pulp nerves, preserve the shell of the teeth, and then repair the teeth. The latest metal-free inner crown popular in the international dental community —— zirconia blocks dental restorations, can effectively repair teeth.

The chemical formula of zirconium dioxide is ZrO₂, which is the main oxide of zirconia blocks. It is usually white, odorless and tasteless crystals and is difficult to dissolve in water, hydrochloric acid and dilute sulfuric acid. Zirconia blocks has high strength, wear resistance and flexibility, and is also called "ceramic steel". At the same time, its good biocompatibility makes it an important material for tooth restoration.

Zirconia blocks dental restorations, 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 computer program-controlled grinding.

Zirconia blocks used in medicine and dentistry has excellent biological safety. Numerous experiments and clinical cases over the years have proven that zirconia blocks has no toxicity to bone and soft tissue cells, and no allergic reactions have been reported.

So why choose zirconia blocks for your dental restorations? What are the excellent properties of zirconia blocks?

1. Low radiation

Zirconia blocks, existing in nature as baddeleyite. Medical zirconia blocks are cleaned and processed, and the small amount of alpha ray residues retained in zirconia blocks have a very small penetration depth of only 60 microns.

2. High density, high strength, and no metal inner crown

Unique resistance to fracture and strong solidification performance after fracture, which can make porcelain bridges of more than 6 units, solving the problem that all all-ceramic systems cannot make long bridges.

3. Excellent aesthetic effect

A successful zirconia blocks all-ceramic tooth restoration has a realistic and beautiful appearance, is strong and wear-resistant, has a color similar to natural teeth, has good biocompatibility, does not irritate oral tissue, is easy to clean, and can not only restore the function of teeth, but also has a cosmetic effect.

4. Good biocompatibility

Zirconia blocks are excellent high-tech biomaterial with good biocompatibility, which is superior to various metal alloys, including gold. Zirconia blocks has no irritation to the gums and no allergic reaction, so it is very suitable for oral use, avoiding adverse reactions such as allergies, irritation, and corrosion caused by metals in the mouth.

5. High quality

Zirconia blocks dental restorations are expensive not only because of their materials and equipment, but also because they use the most advanced computer-aided design, laser scanning, and are made by computer program control grinding. It ensures the accuracy and excellent edge sealing of the crown in the mold, so that the porcelain teeth are very close to the abutment teeth in the patient's mouth, greatly reducing the incidence of post-restoration rootitis.

After the zirconia blocks dental restorations, you should pay attention to maintaining oral cleanliness and develop the habit of brushing your teeth after meals. This will allow the zirconia blocks teeth effect to last longer.You should also pay attention to your diet and avoid eating too hard food, so as not to put too much pressure on the zirconia blocks teeth and cause them to degenerate or break.

Combining the above content, it is not difficult to find that, except for the high price, zirconia blocks dental restorations have no obvious disadvantages compared with all other similar restoration methods.
