Zirconium (zircon, zirconia) is a kind of metal found out at 18th century. It is used in lots of area from aerospace industry to military. Zirconium metal is used; as a construction material of nuclear reactors by the reason of corrosion resistance and the feature of neutron absorption scantiness, in military due to its burning feature, in glass and ceramic industry and at the formation of fire resistant materials because of high melting point feature, at manufacture of lots of tool by the reason of corrosion resistance and as an infrastructure material at the enamelplasty applications because of its color.
Zirconium ceramic crowns can be applied to everyone. Zircon has no allergic properties so; its use is wide. There is no age range. Zircons have no harm in the body. Zircon ceramic treatment can be completed within 4 days.
The superiority of zircon crowns is greater in comparison with other metal-supported crowns. Zircons are white and translucent, so they transmit light. Since light permeability is closest to natural tooth, they reach natural tooth esthetics. This is not possible with metal-supported crowns. Zircons do not corrode, so they do not leave a color change or metallic taste in the mouth. It does not change color with external factors like coffee, tea, and smoking. Metal-supported crowns corrodein the mouth. Hot cold sensitivity does not develop by means of its insulator property.
Because zircon crowns do not corrode, they do not cause any infection in the gums. If the patient is paying attention to oral hygiene, they do not cause gum problems. Sometimes the teeth that have been gotten a root canal treatment change color in the mouth. Zircon hides this coloration without losing its naturalness. In these cases, the coloration is seen under the fine gum. This situation is due to the own color change of tooth not because of zircon crowns.
Zircon ceramics are more expensive than metal-supported crowns. This is because, they are practiced as 3D in computerized environment named as CAD CAM system and the technician workmanship is hard. Moreover, the price of the material increases due to the fact that zirconia in the nature is passed through many processes and further used in dentistry. At the same time, the preparation of dentist for the tooth that will be applied crown based upon zirconia is increasing the workmanship.
Zircon ceramic crowns can be applied onto implants. Because of the nature and robustness of zirconium material, zirconium on implant is profoundly durable and long life. Because it is a substance that can resist difficult conditions, it shows a powerful performance in dental implants. It is not easily damaged and eroded. They do not show any interaction with titanium, the material of the implant.
Is a complete covering of the tooth with an aesthetic material. The most preferred materials are zirconium and porcelain coating.
Orthodontics is a special branch that provides proper setting the teeth onto the dentures, diagnosis and treatment of facial deformity.
Is all artificial formations that treat aesthetic impairments, replace the lost teeth and fulfill the needs aesthetically and functionally
Is the removal of pulp that contains vessel and nerve packs from its own place in the tooth. The root canal treatment is performed when the pulp of the tooth is infected so that it will not be able to improve anymore.
Is the removal of staining on the tooth. Tooth whitening is performed by using blue light and bleaching gel on the teeth, teeth bright with a little hue instantly.
Decay, bone loss and root canal problems, which could not be recognized in medical examination, can be easily detected.
