Use of Zirconium Crowns in Dental Laboratories
Dental laboratories use a variety of materials to produce natural and aesthetically appealing teeth that suit the needs of patients. Zirconium crowns have become very popular in dental restorations in recent years.

What is Zirconium?
Zirconium is an element with the chemical symbol Zr. It is usually found in nature in the form of zirconium dioxide (ZrO2) and is a white powder. Zirconium dental crowns are a type of porcelain coating in which zirconium dioxide is used in the restoration of teeth.

Advantages of Zirconium Crowns
Zirconium crowns have many advantages over other dental restoration materials:

Aesthetics: Zirconium provides an aesthetic similar to natural teeth. Dental laboratories design zirconium crowns to best fit patients' mouths.

Durability: Zirconium is an extremely durable material and has a long lifespan. Dental crowns are resistant to cracking and abrasion.

Biocompatibility: Zirconium is an excellent option in terms of biocompatibility. Its compatibility with the gums and surrounding tissues is important for the comfort and health of patients.

Color Stability: Zirconium is a material that does not change color over time, which ensures that tooth color remains stable.

Thin Design: Zirconium crowns can be made thin, which requires less invasive intervention to the teeth.

Compatibility: Zirconium crowns are a lighter option than traditional metal-based crowns, making them comfortable to wear.

Production of Zirconium Veneers
The production of zirconium crowns is carried out in dental laboratories by technicians with special equipment and experience.

Initial Assessment: The patient's teeth are examined and their dentist is contacted to learn about their needs.

Tooth Preparation: The teeth that require crowning are prepared. When necessary, missing tooth tissue is removed and teeth are shaped.

Measurement and Scanning: The teeth are measured and modeled in 3D with digital scanning.

Production of Zirconium Crowns: Based on these scans, zirconium crowns suitable for the patient's unique teeth are produced in the dental laboratory. The crown is shaped by hand or with special CNC machines.

Trial and Conformity Assessment: The produced crown is temporarily placed in the patient's mouth for a trial. Conformity and aesthetics are assessed.

Permanent Placement: Following the confirmation of suitability, zirconium crowns are placed permanently on the patient's teeth.

Result
Zirconium crowns are a highly effective option that helps dental laboratories provide their patients with durable and aesthetically pleasing dental restorations. These crowns are used to meet the needs of many patients who have aesthetic concerns or are experiencing dental problems. Dentists and technicians work with great care in the design and production of zirconium crowns to best suit the needs of patients.
