Crowns & Bridges in theDigital Workflow
Crowns and Bridges are the most frequent restoration types within the fixed prosthetic segment. They can be made of various materials, e.g. dental alloys and all-ceramic materials.
In the field of all-ceramics, zirconium oxide is a leading material. It is an all ceramic (metal free) material and offers excellent properties for dental use: Superior toughness, strength, and fatigue resistance, in addition to wear properties and biocompatibility. Dentsply Sirona was a pioneer in this field with over 20 years experience. Zirconia became popular with introduction as pre-sintered material (Cercon) for efficient and economic production in CAD/ CAM processes. It covers a wide range of indications from single crowns up to 14-unit bridges.
