- Title
Zirconia-Based Ceramics: Material Properties, Esthetics, and Layering Techniques of a New Veneering Porcelain, VM9.
- Authors
McLaren, Edward A.; Giordano II, Russell A.
- Abstract
The article discusses the material properties of the new zirconia core systems, dental esthetic optimization of core design and use of core bonding agents, and the material properties and specialized esthetic veneering technique of a new porcelain specifically designed for solid-sintered zirconia frameworks. It is noted that computer-aided design/manufacturing (CAD/CAM)-generated zirconia crowns and fixed partial dentures (FPDs) offer an alternative to conventional porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) restorations, as the physical properties are exponentially improved over previous materials. In this article, the skeleton buildup technique was reviewed and adapted for use with the VM9 material for zirconian frameworks.
