Full Contour Monolithic
Zirconia Crown & Bridges at Delhi India.
Monolithic Zirconia full-coverage restorations have
begun a revolution that just may lead to the demise of the PFM. The advantages
of Monolithic Zirconia crowns are numerous. They can be prepared just like the
preferred posterior full-coverage preparation. Full-shoulder, chamfer, or even
knife-edge finish lines are acceptable for Monolithic Zirconia crowns. In tight
occlusal areas, like second molars, as little as 0.5 mm of occlusal reduction
is adequate for strength and block-out of underlying tooth structure. Three-,
four-, and even six-unit bridges may be fabricated using Monolithic Zirconia,
as long as the connectors are developed using the suggested guidelines.
The
development of full-contour monolithic zirconia (MZ) crowns promises an end to the heartbreak of fractured aesthetic porcelain on posterior crowns and bridges. MZ crowns can be
prepared just like conventional PFM crowns using either a butt shoulder, a
chamfer, or a knife-edge finish line. MZ crowns may be fabricated with as
little as 0.5-mm of occlusal reduction, and most importantly, MZ crowns can be
cemented using the clinician’s choice of favourite conventional
cement. The only difference between an MZ crown and a conventional PFM
crown can be summed up in one word — unbreakable.
Nowadays,
monolithic zirconia has become popular because of their high flexural strength,
natural tooth color, less wear on the antagonists, and minimum tooth
preparation. For the patients with compromised occlusion or parafunction,
monolithic zirconia crowns may be fabricated with as little as 0.5 mm of
occlusal reduction. It is possible to produce CAD/CAM-milled monolithic
zirconia restorations with the new digital impression technologies. The color
of the restoration is homogeneous and there is no need for concern about opaque
show-through during adjustment of the occlusion. It is also easy to shape and
polish the material using porcelain-polishing materials.
Zirconia
has been considered an opaque material compared to other all ceramics, but more
esthetic alternative to porcelain fused to metals (PFMs) or cast gold
restorations, in the areas with limited occlusal spaces. The translucency of
monolithic zirconia should be improved to make it a restorative option in the
anterior region as well. The cementation is either adhesive or conventional.
Characteristic benefits & advantages
of Monolithic Zirconia --
· Soft-Tissue
Response to Monolthic Zirconia
The soft-tissue response to MZ crowns has been very
encouraging. They promote a soft-tissue response very similar to porcelain
veneers; the tissue stays pink and stippled and healthy.
The high biocompatibility of zirconia is evidenced by the success rate when
using zirconia medical implants for procedures such as hip
replacement. Advantageous clinical properties—such as reduced bacterial
adhesion, ease of manipulation, high strength, and polishability, along with
superior resistance to fracture—combine to make MZ crowns the ideal choice for
posterior full-coverage restorations.
Highly polished ovate pontics are easily cleaned
and maintained, and the resistance MZ restorations show to bacterial adhesion
encourages a healthy response from surrounding soft tissues.
The ease of shaping and polishing MZ restorations
provides a nature-mimicking environment that contributes to the health of soft
tissues surrounding these crowns and bridges.
Because the MZ
crowns are tooth-colored, finish lines may be either supragingival or
subgingival. Very often the length of the clinical crown determines the
position of the finish line. A short clinical crown may require a subgingival
finish line in order to have a significant ferrule for retention of the MZ
restoration.
· Monolithic
Zirconia for Implant Restoration.
Full-contour MZ is ideal for the restoration of
dental implants on posterior teeth. The natural opacity of the material
combined with the full depth of color hides even the darkest metal abutments
without having a grey cast. If space is a problem, the MZ crown or bridge can
be fabricated to a thickness of 0.5 mm and will still be resistant to breakage
and will not demonstrate the opaque show-through of the metal so often seen on
occlusally thin PFM restorations.
· Marginal
adaptation
The marginal
fit of MZ crowns is exceptional. The restorations are
milled in a CAD/CAM process that produces a precise marginal fit. Whether the
restorations are produced from a conventional impression and scanned at the
dental laboratory or from a dental office-generated digital image, the finish
margin fit of the final restorations is excellent.
·
Adjusting the occlusion
When adjusting
the occlusion on an MZ restoration, there is no need for concern
about opaque or metal show-through because the color of the restoration is
homogeneous throughout the restoration. Shape and contour adjustments are
easily accomplished using a diamond or small green stone and any conventional
extraoral ceramic polishing kit. The restorations are very strong, and occlusal
adjustments can be made before the unit is cemented, allowing for final
polishing of the restoration in the laboratory, rather than in the patient’s
mouth.
·
Resistant to fracture
Because the
restoration is so resistant to fracture,
conservative preparation is encouraged; because the restoration is homogeneous
in nature, there is no aesthetic ceramic component to fracture during occlusal
loading. Research has found MZ crowns are less abrasive to opposing natural
dentition than most other full-coverage restorations. The tissue response to MZ
is very favourable. Resistance to bacterial colonization helps keep the soft
tissue surrounding MZ restorations much healthier-looking at re-care visits.
·
Require less time to fabricate
Perhaps the
greatest advantage of MZ crowns is the fact that they require
less time to fabricate. As the impression is scanned
for fabrication of the crown or a digitial impression is taken sometimes – it
removes all the intermediatary steps as we do in conventional PFM crowns.
· Wear of opposing tooth structure
Wear means “loss of material from a surface”. Wear of tooth material is
related to several factors, such as mechanical contact, surface roughness,
grain size, fracture toughness, occlusal load, temperature, chemical reactions,
environment and lubrication. Surface conditions is one of the most crucial
factor, therefore, different kinds of surface treatments should be applied on
the restorative materials in order to prevent damage of natural antagonist
teeth.
There are two common surface treatment techniques
for monolithic zirconia, such as polishing (manual/machine)
or glazing (glass
coating/firing) to improve the aesthetic appearance of the restoration and to
obtain smooth surface texture. Diamond points, rubber wheels and abrasive
pastes are used in polishing procedures. Glazing is performed by
firing a thin coating of glass on the surface or by firing the restoration up to
temperature required for glazing.
The wear ability of monolithic zirconia -- can be clearly observed that
polished zirconia had the lowest wear on the antagonists compared to glazed
zirconia. This result was attributed to the fact that glazed zirconia loses the
thin glaze after a short period of clinical function, with the result of
appearance of the rough and more abrasive surface of zirconia. It was also
stated that glazed layer is easily removed by chairside occlusal adjustments.
· Surface roughness
Preparing a smooth surface for ceramic restorations is considered as an
important step because increased surface roughness associated with improper
surface treatment can increase wear rate of the opposing natural teeth and can
compromise the clinical performance of the restorations.
Polished surfaces of monolithic zirconia were smoother than glazed
surfaces. It was stated that polished zirconia showed a lower surface roughness
than glazed and ground zirconia. These differences may be due to the different
polishing (machine or manual) and glazing (glass coating, firing) techniques,
or different study protocols. It was known that machine polishing results in a
significantly higher surface gloss of ceramics than manual polishing with tools
for intraoral polishing.
· Fracture strength
Fracture of zirconia showed the highest strength when luted with
adhesive resin or glass-ionomer cements, compared to lithium disilicate and
feldspathic ceramics. Similar results were obtained with monolithic zirconia
crown with a thickness of 1 mm was found equal to metal-ceramic crowns. It was
also reported that strength of monolithic zirconia was higher than veneered
zirconia, lithium disilicate and metal-ceramics.
·
Optical
properties
The creation of acceptable aesthetic result with monolithic zirconia
restorations is challenging because they are mono-layered restorations.
Application of coloring liquids, surface characterization, glazing and
polishing of zirconia are the procedures to look like natural teeth. Significantly
improved color adaptation to adjacent teeth is accomplished with coloring of
the monolithic zirconia structures, followed by individual color
characterizations achieved by surface painting.
The coloring liquids with different color intensities are applied with a
paintbrush prior to sintering.
The translucency of the monolithic zirconia restoration is also
essential for optimized aesthetic outcome. However, an increase in crystalline
content and framework thickness in order to achieve high strength would
generally result in lower translucency. Zirconia has higher contrast ratio
compared to glass ceramics, and can be clinically applied with a minimum
thickness of 0.4 mm.
