Computer Modeling During Dental Treatment
Thanks to innovations used in medicine, doctors today produce the most accurate dentures. With the help of CAD/CAM equipment (computer-aided design and manufacturing), it is possible to create a virtual model of a dental prosthesis and subsequently mill the finished structure on a milling machine.
The described technology involves working with strong materials: zirconium dioxide and aluminum dioxide. This material is used to make strong and durable crowns, presented on the website https://32dent.ua/protezirovanie/cirkonievye-koronki. In some cases, automated equipment works with pressed ceramics.
The use of CAD/CAM technology involves the following stages:
Taking dental impressions and scanning the oral cavity;
Virtual creation of a prosthesis model based on the obtained images;
Manufacturing the finished structure on a milling machine.
The resulting structure is made with extreme precision. The crown, veneer, or dental bridge fits very tightly to the tooth, causing no discomfort.
Innovative Materials for Making Crowns
For a long time, there were several types of crowns in dentistry: metal, plastic, ceramic. Metal products can cause allergies, look unaesthetic, and can lead to blue gums. Solid ceramics is a preferred option, but its fragility allows the material to be used only for prosthetics of front teeth.
Currently, materials have appeared whose advantages are hypoallergenicity, long service life, and aesthetics. Zirconium dioxide and aluminum dioxide are very strong; before the advent of CAD/CAM technology, there were no ways to process such metals. Dioxides are translucent and very similar in appearance to natural enamel. The metal is very strong and allows the manufacture of crowns with a service life of more than 15 years.
Aesthetics are achieved due to the absence of a metal base. Dioxides are white; in some cases, the material is coated with a layer of ceramics. Due to this, such material is suitable for prosthetics of front teeth.
A modern material for making crowns is considered to be Prettau zirconium, which can even avoid ceramic coating.
