Three Types of Zirconia Crowns
1. Solid or Monolayer Zirconia (HT)
Monolayer zirconia, also known as full-contour zirconia, is opaque but extremely strong, making it particularly suitable for posterior crowns. Vsmile's solid zirconia has a flexural strength of up to 1350Mpa and a transparency of 37%. Due to its strength and durability, it performs well in areas with high biting forces.
2. Multilayered Zirconia (3D)
Multilayered zirconia is suitable for anterior teeth that require higher aesthetics. Compared to monolayer zirconia, multilayered zirconia more closely mimics the natural gradient of tooth color. Vsmile’s 3D multilayered zirconia not only provides aesthetic appeal but also maintains durability to some extent, with a maximum strength of 1200Mpa.
3. Highly Transparent Zirconia (UT)
Highly transparent zirconia is considered the most natural type of zirconia, making it ideal for anterior or cosmetic restorations. It integrates well with other teeth in the mouth. Vsmile’s UT series offers a transparency of up to 49% while also maintaining a strength of 700Mpa, ensuring both beauty and durability in restorations.
Conclusion
Vsmile zirconia crowns, with their different categories and superior physical properties, offer a variety of choices for patients, excelling in both aesthetics and durability. By selecting the appropriate type of zirconia based on the patient's needs, treatment outcomes and the longevity of the crowns can be effectively enhanced.
