Along with the aesthetic expectations similar to natural teeth, attention has been paid to the aesthetics of the materials used in the mouth, especially in the front areas. Because metal-supported porcelains, which have been used for many years, cannot achieve a natural appearance due to their lack of light transmittance, sometimes cause allergic reactions in people and cause graying in the gums over time, the search for new alternatives has begun.
Zirconium has started to be used in dentistry with its tissue-friendly feature. With the use of zirconium in dentistry, strength close to a metal infrastructure is provided. Unlike other materials, it is not reflected from under the porcelain and does not cause discoloration on the gums and its resistance to corrosion has increased the use of zirconium.

The most important advantage of zirconium porcelains is their aesthetics. Thanks to its light transmittance properties, a full harmony with natural teeth can be achieved. In this way, a very successful aesthetic result can be obtained.
Since they are produced with a very sensitive process, they adapt exactly to the surface of the cut tooth. In this way, since there is no gap between zirconium porcelain and teeth where bacteria can leak, it does not allow decay formation. The duration of use varies depending on the person and the conditions of use, but it is longer than metal-based prostheses. With regular checks, you can use it for many years.
It can be used in over implant prosthesis as well as crown bridge work. Zirconium material is covered with porcelain and ceramic. Aesthetically successful results have been obtained. The most important feature is that it is tissue-friendly. It is very durable according to the chewing pressure, because of its tooth color, they do not reflect gray from the gum.
