Hand-Layered Ceramic Restorations with Zirconia Substructure
Hand-layered ceramic restorations with a zirconia substructure are advanced prosthetic treatment options that combine aesthetics and durability. Thanks to the ceramic layers applied by a dental technician through meticulous hand craftsmanship over a zirconia framework, results that closely resemble the natural appearance of teeth can be achieved. These restorations can be safely used for both anterior and posterior teeth.
What are zirconia-based ceramic restorations?
These restorations are fabricated by layering porcelain ceramic over a high-strength zirconia substructure. The hand-layered ceramic technique allows for precise replication of the tooth’s colour, form, and light translucency. As a result, a highly natural and aesthetic smile is obtained.
In which cases are zirconia-based ceramic restorations used?
They are applied in cases involving discoloured, fractured, or malformed teeth, particularly where aesthetic expectations are high. They are also preferred in crown and bridge treatments. Additionally, they offer a biocompatible alternative for patients with allergies to metal substructures.
Points to consider before treatment
A detailed intraoral examination and aesthetic analysis should be performed prior to treatment. Healthy gingival tissues directly influence the success of the restoration. Colour and form planning are carried out in line with the patient’s expectations.
Points to consider after treatment
Following the restoration, proper oral hygiene should be maintained. Biting hard objects should be avoided. Regular dental check-ups help preserve the long-term durability and aesthetic appearance of the restorations.
