Zirconia layered (PFZ)
Zirconia layered crowns & bridges are types of dental restorations that combines the strength of zirconia with the aesthetic benefits of layered ceramics. Here are some key points about zirconia layered crowns & bridges.
These crowns & bridges have a zirconia core/framework that provides strength and durability, and a layer of porcelain or ceramic that mimics the natural translucency and color of teeth.
The layered ceramic allows for a more natural appearance, blending seamlessly with the surrounding teeth. This makes them an excellent choice for visible teeth, especially in the front of the mouth.
While slightly less strong than monolithic (solid) zirconia crowns & bridges, layered zirconia crowns & bridges still offer impressive durability and are suitable for both anterior and posterior restorations.
Zirconia is metal-free and biocompatible, reducing the risk of allergic reactions and making it a safe choice for most patients.
They are commonly used for crowns, bridges, and veneers, providing a balance of strength and aesthetics.
Overview
This beautifully layered porcelain restoration is built on a CAD/CAM milled high strength zirconia oxide coping infrastructure. Porcelain fused to zirconia has become the industry alternative to porcelain fused to metal coping by eliminating the gray metal show through.
