Zirconia crowns
Crowns, or caps, as their name suggests, are a complete covering of the tooth that simulates the entire coronal anatomy. Their thickness ranges from 1 to 1.8 mm.
They can be made entirely of porcelain, or with a core of another material to give it more consistency, such as metal, but the most aesthetically pleasing and highest-performing option is the recent zirconium.
Zirconia crowns are placed over the teeth, performing an important aesthetic and functional function. They are the most aesthetically pleasing option because they are metal-free and do not leave the unsightly dark line between the tooth and the gum.
When should you wear crowns?
- For children, special metal crowns are used to wait for the tooth to mature.
- In adults they are used when the size of the caries is so large that the restoration with a filling alone would not work.
- After endodontics, when it has been necessary to place screws in the root of the tooth or in teeth at risk of fracture.
- When teeth are missing.
