Abstract

Dental ceramics justifies more frequent use in prosthetic restoration of damaged dental status. Inlays, crowns and three-unit bridges have been made of all-ceramic system. Zirconia dioxide is a well- known polymorph. The addition of stabilising oxides like MgO, Y2O3 to pure zirconia, makes it completely or partially stabilized zirconia which enables use in prosthodontics. Tetragonal Zirconia Polycrystals (TZP) stabilized with 3mol % yttria, has excellent mechanical and esthetical properties. Fixed prosthetic appliances of this ceramic have been made using CAD/CAM techniques. It can be expected that zirconium oxide ceramics will replace metal-ceramics in restorations that require high strength.
