- By Dentures Guide
Lava™ All-Zirconia is a tooth-coloured, metal-free and biocompatible alternative to full cast metal restorations and non-precious PFM in the posterior region.
Lava™ All-Zirconia is made from a monolithic block. Monolithic restoration means no porcelain overlay is needed and therefore chipping is no longer possible.
Advantages of Lava™ All-Zirconia vs. non-precious PFM
- Virtually unbreakable, no chipping
- Metal-free & biocompatible
- Natural tooth color throughout the restoration
- Ideal for patients with little inter-occlusal space
- No metal margin to hide
- Allows supra-gingival prep margins
- Ideal for bruxism patients and those who grind their teeth
- 15-year limited warranty
Disadvantages
- Expensive equipment.
- Special training for the technician.
- Obtaining the Chameleon effect is difficult because of stark white color of zirconium dioxide ceramic framework.
