DDS Lab launches Z-Crown, in both layered and solid zirconia options. Z-Crown Layered has a clinical-grade zirconia core with a porcelain overlay, and Z-Crown Solid is monolithic and made from 100% pure zirconia.
At 1200 MPa, the Z-Crown has a comparable flexural strength to traditional porcelain-fused-to-metal restorations, while maintaining a natural and vibrant translucency. Z-Crown Layered and Z-Crown Solid are 100% metal-free, preventing gingival darkening and eliminating exposure to metallic margins if gum recession begins. They are esthetic, transmit the color of adjacent teeth, and can be matched to any shade. Using CAD/CAM, it also has a precise marginal fit that can significantly reduce chair time.
