What is dental zirconia block?

Dental zirconia blocks, also known as dental zirconia porcelain blocks, are an artificial material used in dental restorations. The following is a detailed introduction to dental zirconia blocks:

1. Ingredients and preparation:

Dental zirconia blocks are mainly made of zirconia.

In its unprocessed state, it is a white, odorless crystal.

2. Features:

Zirconia materials have high hardness, high strength, high toughness, and extremely high wear and chemical resistance.

Its stability is very good, difficult to dissolve in water, hydrochloric acid and dilute sulfuric acid.

It has good biocompatibility and is suitable for oral use.

3. Use:

Dental zirconia blocks are mainly used to make crowns (crowns) and Bridges (Bridges) of teeth.

It is also used to make porcelain teeth, veneers and inlays.

In cases of tooth defects, missing teeth, or unsightly tooth color, dentists may recommend the use of zirconia materials to repair teeth for aesthetic purposes and to restore chewing function.

4. Processing method:

Existing zirconia blocks are machined by CAD/CAM systems, which are computer aided design and manufacturing systems.

In general, dental zirconia blocks are a high performance dental restorative material and are widely used in modern dental restorations due to their excellent physical properties and biocompatibility.
