Dentists that practice in the implant field make sure of different dental crowns, when each of them have advantages and disadvantages.
When talking about the dental crowns, we are talking about only the protrusive exterior portion outside the gums. The crown is mounted on top of the dental implant, that is (in most cases) screwed into the jawbone – that simulates the tooth’s root.
The dental crown makes up for the portion that is visible to the eye, that looks like the tooth itself. Beyond the aesthetic value, the crown comes in contact with food, drink and additional matters that might affect its condition – such as coffee, cigarettes etc.
As such, the importance of the quality of the crown isn’t less significant than the dental implant’s quality (to read about dental implant types press here). The material the dental crown is made from, its fit according to the patient’s jaw structure, are the key factors to consider when choosing the type of crown, and securing the dental implant treatment that will assure the patient aesthetically pleasing results, and will also allow the patient to function naturally, as if it was his real tooth.
In this article, we will review the various common crowns and detail each’s advantages and disadvantages.
This dental crown is made of a metal cast and coated in porcelain. Even with this type of dental crown, there are different levels of quality that are determined by the following three parameters:
These dental crowns, named E-max Crowns, based on noble metal (usually gold) and coated in compressed porcelain combined with glass. These crowns was developed by the Ivoclar company and aren’t very common, even though they are very high in quality and of excellent aesthetic results, and are mostly used in the frontal areas.
The Zirconia is a crystal type of mineral, very strong and of high resistance and strength properties. As such, the Zirconia is used commonly in the jewelry industry as an artificial diamond but in the past few years has been utilized in the dental implants field.
The Porcelain crown blended with Zirconia is made from combining between the zirconia and porcelain, when the crown’s base is zirconia and above it is the porcelain casting, so that the crown merges qualities from both materials.
Pure Zirconia Crowns are considered the leading dental solution of the highest quality in the dental implant field. The crowns are made from a zirconia cast’ that is engraved in a laboratory with robotic equipment, without the touch of a human hand, after a 3D design and simulation of the tooth structure.
