Zirconia Crowns Overview
- [00:05] There are two main types of zirconia crowns: layered zirconia crowns and monolithic zirconia crowns.
- [01:01] Layered zirconia crowns have a porcelain layer that can lead to chipping issues due to weak bonding between layers.
- [01:53] Monolithic zirconia crowns are machine-made and avoid chipping problems since they don't use a porcelain layer.
- [02:49] Digital technology allows for faster production of monolithic zirconia crowns, beneficial for dental tourism.
- [03:42] 3D design checks enable patients to see and adjust their crown design early in the process.
- [05:46] Monolithic zirconia crowns vary in quality, with multi-layered blocks providing a smoother color transition for a natural appearance.
- [07:11] E-max Prime is recommended for high-quality, natural-looking zirconia crowns with smooth color transitions.
