Crowns

Zirconia or zirconium is the hardest known ceramic in industry and the strongest material used in dentistry.The zirconia used in dentistry is zirconium oxide, which has been stabilized with the addition of yttrium oxide. Zirconium is a very hard white ceramic that comes in the form of solid blocks of various shapes and sizes. For processing, it requires sophisticated computer systems (CAD/CAM systems).

The Flexural strength indicates how much force is required on a single crown. High MPa value is essential for stressing-bearing restorations and determines the indications for use. The more strength a material offers, the better crowns a restoration can include. Below show Bloomzir® zirconia strength comparisions.

Bloomzir^® zirconia blank can be milled as a highly translucent zirconia framework for individually crowns with Bloomzir^® CeramStar^® Glaze/Stain Kit available as single crowns.
