Zirconia - from Zero to Hero - A Case Series

Today is the era of “Beauty behind the Smile”. Aesthetic dentistry is a rapidly evolving field that promotes integration of dental aesthetics into spectrum of oral health care. Use of the right material can reconstitute a dream smile. Zirconia is known as White Gold of Dentistry. Zirconia (zirconium oxide) based ceramics have become a very popular type of all-ceramic restorations. Zirconia-based restorations can be a near ideal choice for restoring crowns, fixed partial dentures and implants in aesthetic areas. Most zirconia-based ceramics utilize CAD/CAM technology for fabrication of crowns, bridges and implant abutments. Zirconia holds unique place amongst oxide ceramics due to excellent mechanical properties, in addition the opaque character is useful in advance clinical situations. This case series shows the aesthetic results of zirconia crowns in the aesthetic zone and how patients achieve their real beauty by gaining their natural smile.
