Manufacturing of the zirconia crown consists of scanning either the stone model or designing the digital impressions. After you have the digital file of your mouth. The lab technician designs the zirconia crown with CAD software (Computer-Aided Design).

The file is put into a CAM Software (Computer-Aided Milling) and from that is placed into the CNC Machine as the picture showed.

In its unpolished state, zirconia is highly abrasive and will cause significant wear to the opposing dentition. When zirconia is polished correctly, it creates minimal wear on the opposing teeth.

If a zirconia restoration requires an adjustment in the mouth, re-polishing can be a time-consuming task to do correctly. Before adjusting the polished zirconia, if only minimal adjustments are required, it’s worth considering an adjustment to the opposing dentition instead.

Many state of the art clinics in mexico have a CAD/CAM sistem called CEREC. CEREC by sirona is one of the leading equipment for dentists to do onsite restorations.

Picture shown above is done by Cerec.

Different brands of zirconia provide different translucencies like stated above zirconia can be LT (Low Translucency) MT (Medium Translucency) HT (High Translucency).

Usually, the more translucent a crown the less fracture strength it has.

This doesn’t really affect crowns but bridges need that extra strength.
