What is dental zirconia block！

Dental zirconia block is a high-tech dental repair material, mainly made of zirconia (ZrO₂) ceramics. It has the following features:

Excellent mechanical properties:

Zirconia block has high strength, high hardness and high toughness, can effectively withstand chewing and biting pressure, and is not easy to break or wear. This makes zirconia an ideal choice for dental restorations such as crowns, Bridges and implants.

Good biocompatibility:

Zirconia block has good biocompatibility in the human body, no irritation to the gums, no allergic reaction, will not cause tissue inflammation or rejection. This allows zirconia restorations to be safely present in the mouth for a long time, providing lasting repair results for patients.

Excellent aesthetic effect:

Zirconia block has good light transmission and color, can simulate the luster and texture of natural teeth, to achieve a very natural aesthetic effect. This makes zirconia restorations almost indistinguishable in appearance from natural teeth.

Stable chemical properties:

Zirconia blocks have stable chemical properties, can resist chemical corrosion such as acid and alkali, and will not discolor or deteriorate due to chemicals in the oral environment.

Wide range of applications:

Zirconia blocks can be used to make various types of dental restorations, including single crowns, Bridges, inlays, veneers, and implant superstructures. It can meet the individual repair needs of different patients.

Dental zirconia blocks are typically manufactured using computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) techniques. The doctor will design the shape and size of the restoration using CAD software according to the specific situation and needs of the patient, and then cut the zirconia block into the desired shape through the CAM equipment, and finally undergo post-processing steps such as sintering, grinding and polishing to make the final restoration.

Because of the above excellent properties of dental zirconia blocks, it has become a highly respected restorative material in the modern dental field.
