Jun 30, 2023
Solid Zirconia
Solid zirconia is the toughest material when compared to high-translucent zirconia, and it can also withstand chewing and bruxism forces better.
Solid Zirconia blocks are mostly used for root canal treated teeth because they provide more support to the other teeth. Because it is opaque, it is best suited for posterior or back teeth.
High-translucent Zirconia
This high-translucent zirconia can be used as a superior tooth because it will match the color of your natural teeth. This block has more strength than other dental blocks but not as much as solid zirconia. The dental zirconia block is not used in orthodontic treatment or tooth alignment.
