CERAMIC CROWN VS ZIRCONIA CROWN

  WHAT IS CROWN ?

        Dental crown can also be used to cover up a tooth that’s very worn down or severely discolored or tooth which is treated with root canal treatment and dental implant . They can also be used in conjunction with bridges to strengthen multiple teeth.

CERAMIC CROWN :

                                   Metal ceramic crowns are commonly used in most of the dental clinic.They have framework that is metalic  which is coated with ceramic layer.



 BENEFITS AND DRAWBACKS :

  • Metal ceramic crowns are cost effective.
  • This type of crown also have a good strength.
  • Aesthetic wise less comparatively Zirconia crowns 
  • Another major issue we have seen with metal ceramic crown is over the time when gums receding leave black line along with gums.as zirconia are metal free it will not cause any problem like this.
  • wearing of ceramic layer while using this metal ceramic crown then the metal layer can be exposed.
  • In future  if you are go to take MRI they advised to remove the metal ceramic crowns that is major disadvantage of the metal ceramic crown.   

ZIRCONIA CROWNS:

                      Zirconia crowns are full ceramic crown(metal free) which is made up of zirconium dioxide material. It is the strongest material than other alloys. It is a very durable type of metal that's related to titanium.

                           



 

ADVANTAGES:

  • Good Aesthetic appearance
  • High strength
  • Biocompatibility
  • Increased durability
  • More opacity of crown
