Sometimes there may be major loss of material in the teeth or teeth may be lost due to major caries and sometimes trauma. For many years, metal-supported porcelain veneers have been used to repair teeth with missing teeth and excessive substance loss.
However, these coatings have some deficiencies in terms of aesthetics. For this reason, alternatives to the gray-looking metals in the infrastructure of the coatings were investigated. Today, zirconium infrastructures replace traditional metal infrastructures, especially in cases where aesthetics is important. Zirconium veneer is the most compatible, natural and durable veneer type for the gingiva.
Zirconium is actually a metal element found in nature. This element, which has high aesthetic properties, is used in dentistry as a white metal alloy.
In cases where aesthetics is important, zirconium supported porcelains are used as an alternative to other metal-supported porcelain coatings.
Zirconium veneers are the most used treatment method in teeth where there is excessive material loss and other aesthetic veneers cannot be applied. Since it is a white material that provides high light transmittance, it gives much better aesthetic results than traditional metal-supported coatings, while being more resistant to chewing forces than full porcelain teeth increases their usage areas.
In addition to these, one of its important advantages is that its compatibility with the gingiva is much better than metal-supported porcelain and that it does not create unpleasant color differences at the gingival borders.
In some cases, allergies may develop to materials such as chromium alloys used in the infrastructure of traditional metal-supported porcelain coatings. Zirconium veneers are also advantageous in such cases.
