Technical and practical comparison between zirconia and porcelain crowns to help you make the best decision for your dental rehabilitation.
Zirconia: maximum strength with excellent aesthetics
Zirconia (zirconium dioxide or ZrO₂) is a high-strength ceramic material that has revolutionized restorative dentistry over the past 20 years. Zirconia crowns can withstand masticatory forces of 900 to 1,200 MPa, making them virtually unbreakable under normal clinical conditions.
