To replace metallic dental prosthesis the structure of ceramics has been improved. Among in Ceramics Zirconia has come up in a big way because of its biological, mechanical and optical properties. It has adequate mechanical properties to be used in medical devices. With addition of yittrium trioxide properties of zirconia improved tremendously to be used in dentistry. This review article gives general properties as well as specific clinical guidelines for its use in dentistry.

Abstract


To replace metallic dental prosthesis the structure of ceramics has been improved. Among in Ceramics Zirconia has come up in a big way because of its biological, mechanical and optical properties. It has adequate mechanical properties to be used in medical devices. With addition of yittrium trioxide properties of zirconia improved tremendously to be used in dentistry. This review article gives general properties as well as specific clinical guidelines for its use in dentistry.
