What are the differences between zirconium and laminated?

differences between zirconium and laminated
There are many differences between zirconium and laminated. These two treatment options are frequently preferred in dental aesthetics and smile design applications. Both treatment options have their own advantages. But there are serious differences between them. The biggest difference; Laminate veneer (leaf porcelain) is applied only to the front surface of the tooth with no cut or only minimal cut. It is applied to the teeth one by one. In zirconium, cuts are made all around to allow for the thickness of the material. It is full coverage. Basically, there are serious differences between laminated and zirconium. It is placed on only one side of the laminated tooth. It can be called 1/4, 1/3 coating according to the application. Zirconium is a restoration applied all around to the tooth.    

Advantages of Laminated Properties

  • It can be applied without cutting the tooth.
  • If there are places where you need to cut, it is minimal.
  • The tongue side of the tooth, that is, the female cut of the inner parts, is not done.
  • does not change color.
  • It is a Protector treatment.
  • It is obtained from a healthy and natural.
  • Robust and can be used for many years to repair.
  • Your teeth are naturally structureless.
  • It does not change color according to external factors. (coffee, tea, etc.)
  • On the laminated surface, the formation of tooth stain and tartar is minimized.
 

Advantages of Zirconium Application

Zirconium veneer application has many advantages. Of course, these advantages can be mentioned as a result of good clinical and laboratory work. These:  
  • Just like a tooth, it is semi-permeable and opaque, so it both reflects and absorbs light.
  • A look close to the natural tooth is obtained.
  • It adds depth and vitality to the tooth structure.
  • A negative image, gray reflection does not occur in gingival recessions.
  • Dark lines do not occur at the junction of the gingiva and the application.
  • It does not cause an allergic reaction.
  • The zirconium coating made with special cements adheres to the tooth very well.
      We’ve discussed some of the benefits and drawbacks of conventional porcelain (laminated) crowns, given that for the long term, porcelain crowns are quite cost-effective. For, however, porcelain crowns are more susceptible to yellowing, stains, and water damage, in addition to requiring an additional, freestanding metal frame for them. Zirconia crowns, on the other hand, not only provide comparable results but, thanks to its superior characteristics, are priced significantly cheaper.     Check Out: Causes Of Yellow Teeth
