What are Removable Prostheses?
Hello, I'm Dr. Ipek Aksoy. I am a prosthesis specialist. One of the topics patients ask more questions about is zirconium. Zirconium is a very hard ceramic material. For this reason, we can use zirconium as a substructure material. Its most important advantage when used in prostheses is its white colour. For this reason, especially when working in the aesthetic area, we can provide both a beautiful and permanent aesthetics. Zirconium restorations have an important advantage for metal-allergic patients or patients who do not want prostheses containing metal. Its white colour and its metal free nature enable us to design prostheses with very high tissue compatibility, One of the most important advantages of zirconium is that it is designed and produced in a digital environment. Therefore, we can produce high tissue compatibility prostheses. Tissue compatibility means that on the long term you will not experience any inconvenients to the gum area around the zirconium restorations. So with which kind of prostheses can zirconium restorations be used? We can use it for single crown restorations in a single missing tooth or we can safely use the zirconium material in multiple tooth deficiencies and bridge construction thanks to its high resistance. Contact us for any question, our health consultants will be glad to give you more information about your oral and dental health.
