The biocompatible ceramic material Zirconia (zirconium dioxide) plays a vital role in modern biotechnology.
Zirconia is inert and has excellent mechanical properties - such as strength and toughness.
Our Ceramic Abutment is manufactured from yttria-stabilized Zirconia, a material that has been used in orthopaedics for many years.
Through its high level of biocompability, Zirconia interacts well with the surrounding soft tissue. This results in a predictable, stable and healthy peri-implant mucosa - an important prerequisite for natural aesthetics.
Zirconia has a unique ability to strengthen its mechanical properties through phase transformation when stressed. This is an advantage during grinding of the material. This phase transformation process of tetragonal to monoclinic zirconia crystals is exceptional and highly beneficial for the strength and toughness the material.
- High mechanical strength
- Biocompability
- Phase transformation
- Ivory colour shade
These key properties make Zirconia ideal for durable, natural-looking aesthetic restorations.
