Zirconium, one of the technological and aesthetic materials of today's dentistry; Crowns are frequently used in bridge construction. It has advantages such as being biologically compatible, its color being close to the tooth color, and less material being removed from the tooth. However, these advantages do not mean that we will make every fixed prosthesis from zirconium. As a result of criteria such as the patient's tooth color, the amount of space in the area to be made, and the patient's orthodontic condition, we decide on the type and material of the prosthesis to be made for our patients.
When the choice is in favor of zirconium; A stepped cut is made on the relevant tooth and the cutting roughness is corrected and the cut tooth is made ready for measurement. The important thing here is to ensure the parallelism of the teeth. Measurements of both jaws are taken, and a temporary prosthesis is produced and glued to our patient, which he will use until the end of the prosthesis.
At the end of the rehearsal stages, the prosthesis, which receives the approval of the patient and the physician, is glued and the patient begins to use it.
At this stage, some of our patients can use the prosthesis. We have recommendations. These are:
1. Not eating for 1 hour,
2. Not using the prosthetic side much that day,
3. Start with soft foods, then switch to hard foods,
4. If there is an overlooked height or roughness, we recommend that they consult your physician immediately.
