Porcelain Crowns and Bridges

In aesthetic dentistry, porcelain containing metal is being abandoned day by day. In this system, which has all the features we want, such as healthier, more aesthetic and more durable, zirconium, a white alloy, is used as the infrastructure instead of metal. We prefer zirconium-based porcelains because they are natural enough to be used on anterior teeth and because they are strong enough to be used on posterior teeth. These systems make the life of the physician and the patient easier and increase the quality of life of people.

Porcelain Crowns Zirconium; In classical dental restorations, a metal substructure was used under the porcelain tooth for durability in porcelain applications. Since the disadvantages of this metal infrastructure in terms of gums, dental tissue, general body health and most importantly aesthetics are known, alternatives to metal were sought in general. A new era has opened with the application of zirconium, which has been used successfully in other fields of medicine before, instead of porcelain metal in dentistry.

Because these new zirconium-based porcelain veneers stand out from other dental materials with their mechanical resistance, biocompatibility and fracture resistance. It does not cause gingival problems and allergies, it allows us to achieve aesthetics and function close to natural teeth with its light transmission feature.

Crowns and bridges made by placing porcelain on zirconium are called CERCON, which is the combination of the words Ceramic and Zirconium. The system with a resistance of 900 Mpa has started a brand new era in dentistry by covering the highest physical values, as well as light transmission, tissue compatibility and many different indications.
