What are the factors that affect the durability of zirconia crown?
The durability of a zirconia crown is affected by several factors, including:
Material properties
The power and durability of the crown can be altered by the type of zirconia used, its grain size, its porosity and the amount of stabilizer it contains.
Manufacturing
The way the crown is manufactured can also affect its durability. Crowns made using CAD/CAM technology are generally more durable than those made using traditional casting methods.
Cementing agent
The type of luting agent used to secure the crown to the tooth can also affect its durability. Some luting agents are more resistant to wear than others.
Oral hygiene
Proper oral hygiene is essential to the longevity of any dental restoration, including zirconia crowns. Brushing and flossing regularly can help prevent plaque and tartar buildup, which can lead to chips and fractures.
Bite force
The amount of force exerted on the crown during biting can also affect its durability. People who clench or grind their teeth are more likely to experience chips or fractures in their zirconia crowns.
occlusal contact
The way the crown comes into contact with opposing teeth can also affect its durability. If the crown is not aligned correctly, it can be subjected to excessive stress, which can lead to chipping or fractures.
In general, zirconia crowns are very durable and can last for many years with proper care. However, it’s important to be aware of the factors that can affect their durability so you can take steps to protect them.
