The best and the worst indications for zirconia
Zirconia is probably one of the most popular all-ceramic materials in dentistry today. It combines very high mechanical properties to minimize the wall thickness of restorations and is available in multichromatic discs/blocks to enhance the esthetics of full-contour restorations. It offers different translucency levels and covers indications from single units to long-span bridges — making it appear to be a universal material in fixed prosthetics. The versatile use of zirconia is no secret; however, some of its properties limit the clinical application, especially in the esthetic zone.
