Zirconia is a high-strength, high-hardness material, so it is widely used in the field of oral implantology, including dental zirconia. Dental zirconia is an artificial tooth made from zirconia that can be used to replace teeth or as a bridge to support braces. Compared with traditional metal materials, dental zirconia is more beautiful, less conductive and thermally conductive, and more friendly to the human body. Therefore, in modern dental medicine, dental zirconia is widely used.
Dental zirconia is usually used in the field of oral implants, and generally has the following steps:
1. Check: First, the dentist will check the health of the teeth, including caries, gum problems, etc.
2. Diagnosis: Based on the examination results, the doctor will make a diagnosis for the patient, determine the applicability and treatment plan of using dental zirconia.
3. Preparation: Once the use of dental zirconia is determined, the doctor will prepare the patient's teeth. This includes removal of dead tissue and fitting of the implant. Then, the doctor will remove the adhesive from the tooth and clean the gum line.
4. Scanning: Modern technology has developed to the point of 3D scanning of teeth, and this procedure is similar to general medical imaging examination.
5. Design: Based on the scan results, doctors can use CAD/CAM technology to design dental zirconia.
6. Manufacture: After the design is completed, the 3D printer can produce a 3D model.
7. Implant fixation: Dental zirconia and oral tissue are fixed together by implant fixation. Finally, the doctor will check all anchor points for a perfect fit.
Dental zirconia is a complex medical and health technology that requires professional medical staff to complete. Always seek the advice of your dentist and oral specialist if you need to use dental zirconia.
Dental zirconia has the following benefits:
1. Aesthetics: The color and transparency of dental zirconia are similar to natural teeth, and will not sparkle in the mouth like metal braces.
2. Wear-resistant: Dental zirconia is more wear-resistant than metal braces, which can effectively prevent dental caries and gingival recession and other problems.
3. Anti-oxidation and stability: Dental zirconia not only does not produce irritation or oxidative reactions, but also maintains its stable shape and structure, unlike metal braces that will fade or deform after a period of time.
4. Hygiene: Dental zirconia is a material that is not easy to breed bacteria, and it is easier to clean and maintain.
5. Comfortable: Due to the texture and material characteristics of dental zirconia, people feel more natural and comfortable when wearing it in their mouths, and it will not cause oral discomfort like metal braces.
6. Biocompatibility: Dental zirconia will not cause allergic or toxic reactions, and will rarely cause damage to human tissues.
To sum up, dental zirconia is one of the best brace materials with obvious advantages. If you need tooth implants or replacements, it is advisable to consult your dentist about the suitability of dental zirconia materials.
