VollkeramikKronen

Vollkeramik Kronen are dental restorations made entirely of ceramic material. They are commonly used to cover and protect damaged teeth, improve their appearance, or restore their function. Unlike traditional crowns that may have a metal substructure, full ceramic crowns offer a more aesthetic, tooth-like appearance due to their translucency and color matching capabilities. This makes them particularly popular for front teeth where appearance is a primary concern.

The fabrication process typically involves digital scanning of the prepared tooth, followed by the design and milling of the crown from a solid block of ceramic. This digital workflow ensures precision and a good fit. Common ceramic materials used include zirconia and lithium disilicate, each offering different strengths and aesthetic qualities. Zirconia is known for its exceptional strength and durability, while lithium disilicate provides superior translucency for a very natural look.

Vollkeramik Kronen are biocompatible and do not typically cause allergic reactions. They are resistant to staining and wear, contributing to their longevity. However, like all dental restorations, their lifespan depends on factors such as oral hygiene, biting forces, and the skill of the dentist and dental technician. Regular dental check-ups are recommended to ensure the health of the underlying tooth and the surrounding gums.
