ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
Zirconia is considered a substantial material that substitutes the metal alloy to construct superstructures and substructures in prosthodontic applications, as well as serving as an acceptable choice for restoring full anatomical crowns. nevertheless, the zirconia may have had manifest drawbacks related to aesthetic perceptions since the structural properties of polycrystalline still lack the high demands of aesthetics in terms of optical limitations in parallel the zirconia exhibits a notable mechanical property by polycrystalline structure, such as flexural strength, which is feasible to utilise as a substrate for glassy ceramic layering for optimum aesthetics; consequently, the zirconia structure necessitates particular layering techniques to preserve the strength of the structure as well as primes natural demands in terms of aesthetics.
OUR SERVICES INCLUDE
Recent advancements in multilayer zirconia blocks and internally stained materials enhance initial aesthetic results but may compromise optical consistency through various imposed lights. This progression affects the mechanical properties of zirconia, necessitating a balance between aesthetic and structural requirements. A recommended solution involves the use of feldspathic glass ceramics layered on zirconia substrates to maintain mechanical integrity while meeting high aesthetic standards.
