| YZ (Yttrium Infiltrated Zirconium Oxide) features and benefits: |
 |
Less intrusive dentistry can be adopted, taking full advantage of the materials strength and superb esthetics for example: in procedures where space is an issue, ceramo-metal crowns require metal to show, YZ shows white – because we don’t need opaquer to make metal white we save a little more tooth. |
|
Provides more translucency than metal and reflects light more naturally, but is opaque enough to hide metal pins and posts. |
|
Easier shade matching – don’t have to cover the metal 1st. |
|
No ugly gingival dark line due to light blocking affects . |
|
No exposed metal margin after gums recede over time. |
|
No risk of galvanic current. |
|
Ability to withstand high functional stress – resistance to fracture due to load – cross links prevents propagation of cracks. |
|
No thermal conductivity discomfort. |
|
250% increase over the last 6 months in
Australia (1000 crowns) strong trend to replace the ceramo-metal crown - increase of use and demand worldwide. |
