Monolithic solid zirconia is the premier choice for strength in the posterior, while still be impressive in esthetics. It is virtually chip proof, making it the ideal restoration for bruxers, implant restorations and areas with limited occlusal space.

Flexural Strength: 1,100 MPa
1. Anterior or posterior crowns, bridges up to 16 units
2. Veneers, inlays and onlays,
3. Implant-supported crowns and bridges
1. 1.25 mm ideal reduction (0.7mm minimum)
2. Chamfer or modified shoulder margins preferred
3. Axial walls must be convergent (avoid undercuts)
4. Preparation should be cut in three planes
5. To achieve optimal impression quality, gingival retraction is necessary for preparations with subgingival or equigingival margins
Zirconia restorations can be placed using adhesive systems with dual cure resins (RelyX Unicem, 3M ESPE; Panavia SA Plus, Kuraray. We recommend Z-PRIME from BISCO to prepare the inside of the crown for adhesive dentistry) or cemented using low expansion cements, like resin-modified glass ionomers, (RelyX Luting Cement, 3M ESPE; GCFuji Plus, GC America)
