Zirconium dioxide

Metal free crowns of zirconium dioxide (ZrO₂) based on the CAD/CAM technology — the best solution for patients with high esthetic standards! Zirconium dioxide used as the framework material offers the highest ever biological compatibility level and is increasingly becoming the number one material in dentistry.

High fabrication precision

Fabrication of a metal free crown according to the CAD/CAM technology (computer-aided design/computer-programmed manufacture) fundamentally differs from the cermet manual casting.

The impression made by the doctor is used to form a model to be scanned by laser. This stage is followed by the computer-aided simulation of the future crown. The cap is worked out at the milling machine from a zirconium oxide block

The complete automation of the process excludes the risk of any mistake since the system registers even micron-level deviations. This allows achieving the ideal crown fitting ensuring high esthetics, longevity and absence of inflammations.

High esthetics and natural look

Zirconium oxide framework — perfectly white excluding the "dark edge" effect in the gum area. In contrast to metal, zirconium oxide is distinguished by natural transparency. Zirconium dioxide based crowns permeate light and as such look perfectly naturally! For framework lining, the AGAMI Clinic uses the rugged ceramics Noritake (Japan) characterized by transmittance, translucence and broad array of shades. This allows creating crowns indistinguishable from natural teeth.

Biological compatibility

• Zirconium oxide is the hypoallergic material and, as regards biocompatibility, supersedes any alloys, including gold. The positive clinic results are proved by histological investigations: after a semiannual contact with zirconium oxide based ceramics, no pathological changes revealed in the oral cavity.
• Zirconium oxide is characterized by a low thermal conductivity index, i.e. produces no response to hot or too cold food.

Lightness and durability

The width of a zirconium oxide framework is as little as 0.4 mm. This makes it possible to minimize teeth facing. The zirconium oxide framework is twice as light as the metal one. In contrast to metal, zirconium oxide does not deform with time. By durability, zirconium oxide is as good as metal. New crowns will serve you for long! Enhanced durability allows producing single metal free crowns as well as extended bridgework prostheses, and even place such crowns on implants.
