The characteristics of temporary zirconia blocks for children's dentistry
Temporary zirconia blocks for children's dentistry are specially designed for the restoration of deciduous teeth and young permanent teeth, and have the following features:
Biocompatibility and safety
Material inertness: Zirconia is a bioinert ceramic with high compatibility with human tissues. It will not cause allergic or irritating reactions and is suitable for the sensitive oral environment of children.
Non-toxic: The material contains no metal components, avoiding the risk of metal allergies, and is especially suitable for children who are sensitive to metals.
2. Mechanical properties
High strength and toughness: The flexural strength can reach 900-1200 MPa, and the fracture toughness (KIC) is 5-10 MPa·m¹/², which can withstand the chewing force of children and reduce the risk of restorative fracture.
Wear resistance: High surface hardness, wear-resistant, suitable for children's lively oral usage habits.
3. Aesthetic performance
Natural appearance: The light transmittance of zirconia is close to that of natural tooth enamel, and it can simulate the natural color of teeth through dyeing techniques. After restoration, the appearance is very realistic.
Semi-transparency: It has a good semi-transparent effect, which can present the luster and texture of teeth, meeting children's aesthetic needs.
4. Adapt to the oral characteristics of children
Small-sized design: For the dimensions of children's deciduous teeth and young permanent teeth, we offer a variety of pre-formed crowns to ensure a tight fit between the restoration and the teeth.
Ease of operation: Zirconia blocks can be rapidly processed through CAD/CAM technology, making them suitable for the rapid restoration needs in pediatric dental clinical practice.
5. Clinical application advantages
Wide range of restoration: It is suitable for large-scale defects and caries of deciduous teeth, post-pulp treatment restoration, aesthetic restoration of anterior teeth, etc.
Protecting the dental pulp: Zirconia material has good heat insulation properties, reducing the stimulation of temperature changes on the dental pulp and lowering the risk of pulpitis.
Reduce plaque adhesion: The surface is smooth and not prone to plaque adhesion, which is conducive to maintaining oral hygiene.
6. Special design
Edge adaptability: The blade-shaped edge design reduces the amount of tooth preparation while ensuring the retention force of the restoration.
Surface treatment: Polishing and glazing processes enhance surface smoothness, reduce plaque accumulation, and lower the risk of gum irritation.
7. Precautions for Use
Avoid forceful impact: Although zirconia has high strength, when used in children's mouths, it is still necessary to avoid biting hard objects to prevent the restoration from chipping.
Regular check-ups: It is recommended to have regular follow-up examinations to ensure the fit between the restoration and the tooth, and make timely adjustments or replacements.
8. Summary of the advantages of zirconia blocks specifically designed for children's Dentistry
High safety: Good biocompatibility, no metal components, suitable for children to use.
Strong durability: High strength and wear resistance, suitable for long-term use by children.
Beautiful and natural: Excellent light transmission and semi-transparency, with a realistic appearance after restoration.
Easy operation: CAD/CAM technology enables rapid processing, meeting the clinical needs of pediatric dentistry.
Recommended application scenarios:
Restoration of large-area defects of deciduous teeth
Aesthetic restoration of anterior teeth of young permanent teeth
Crown restoration after pulp treatment
Preventive repair for children at high risk of dental caries
Children's dental temporary zirconia blocks, with their excellent biocompatibility, mechanical properties and aesthetic effects, provide a safe, durable and beautiful solution for children's oral restoration.
