zirconia
Zirconia crowns are used to restore a single damaged or decayed tooth. They are often recommended for molars and premolars due to their exceptional strength, which can withstand the strong biting forces in these areas
A zirconia bridge is a dental prosthesis used to replace one or more missing teeth by bridging the gap between adjacent natural teeth or dental implants.
Like zirconia crowns, zirconia bridges are made from zirconium dioxide, which is known for its durability and natural appearance
Generally, dental zirconia exhibits a hardness ranging from approximately 1,200 to 1,400 Vickers hardness (HV) on the Vickers hardness scale. This level of hardness is quite impressive and is one of the reasons why dental zirconia is favored for dental restorations. It provides excellent resistance to wear, chipping, and fractures, making it suitable for withstanding the biting forces and stresses within the oral cavity.
E.max
E-max restorations are made from lithium disilicate glass-ceramic, which is a type of dental ceramic.
Lithium disilicate is a crystalline material that contains lithium, silicon, oxygen, and other elements. It’s known for its exceptional strength and optical properties.
E-max veneers are made from lithium disilicate glass-ceramic, which is a highly translucent and strong dental material.
This type of ceramic is prized for its natural appearance, strength, and durability.
composite veneer
A composite veneer, also known as a composite resin veneer or dental bonding, is a cosmetic dental restoration used to improve the appearance of teeth with minor imperfections.
Compared to veneer ceramics, it contains only one color layer, while ceramics contain several layers of colors in addition to hardness .
felds pathic veneer
A feldspathic veneer, also known as a feldspathic porcelain veneer, is a type of dental veneer used for cosmetic purposes to enhance the appearance of teeth. Feldspathic veneers are known for their exceptional aesthetics and natural look .
It can be used to repair the damaged parts of the front teeth without the need to cool the teeth .
The feldspathic veneer is considered one of the best technologies used in the manufacture of teeth from a cosmetic point of view .
It is also one of the most important methods used by cosmetic dentistry to obtain a natural aesthetic and accuracy in the results obtained by the patient .
