Your smile can be your crowning glory with the help of a dental crown. A crown is a restoration that completely covers or cap teeth, restoring them to their natural size, shape and color.
A crown can help to strengthen teeth that are weakened by, for example, large cavities. They may also be used to cover teeth that are discolored or badly shaped. As part of the treatment for replacing missing teeth, dental crowns can also be used to attach bridges and to cover dental implants.

The non-metal porcelain crown
(Zirconia/ Emax)
|
| The Structure |
 |
 |
| Advantages |
- The porcelain fused to ceramic crown uses metal material such as Titanium to make the inside framework.
- Porcelain fused to ceramic crown has fresh color and similar as natural crown. In addition, the durability of precious porcelain crown is really high and after using many years, the gum line in tooth collar region will not be oxidised.
|
- The non-metal porcelain crown is the newest type of porcelain crown at the moment. The pros of this kind of porcelain crown are the high hardness degree, high durability, the perfect aesthetic due to bright natural colors, not allergic and not oxidize.
- The characteristics of Zirconia crown:
- Zirconia is the formed by chemical reactions between Zirconium (Zr) and oxygen (O2). Due to good biological compatibility characteristic, Zirconia is used for medicine in general and dentistry in particular.
- Furthermore, the exceptional characteristics of Zirconia such as: natural white, hardness & durability and abrasion resistant. The dentists have researched and applied Zirconia to develop in the dental field.
- Restoration porcelain crown by Zirconia material is quite hard and high melting temperature. Therefore, making a Zirconia porcelain crown, cannot apply normally methods so we have to use dedicated system in dental field by CAD/ CAM methods (Computer-Aided Design/ Computer-Aided Manufacturing) to make a supporting framework for the outside aesthetic ceramic layers.
|
| Disadvantages |
- Gums always keep pink color due to porcelain fused to ceramic crown will not be oxidized in the mouth environment.
- To prevent risk of tooth decay, the backlog of food and bacteria.
