Functional Zirconia

Durable Strength Meets Everyday Functionality for Reliable Restorations

Strength. Precision. Reliability.

Monolithic functional zirconia offers exceptional strength and reliability, making it the ideal solution for posterior restorations that endure high occlusal forces. With its precise design and seamless fit, our zirconia crowns ensure long-lasting performance while maintaining a natural, lifelike appearance.

Turnaround Time

5 in-lab production days for one to four units.

Stain & Glazed or Polished

You can choose a polished finish or expertly applied stain and glaze.

Cementation of monolithic zirconia crowns:

1. Try in the restorations, adjust the contacts, and if needed occlusion, polish with the appropriate zirconia polishers.


2. Then, either micro etch the internal surface with 30 microns of alumina oxide or clean the internal surface with a surface treatment of Ivoclean (IvoclarVivadent) or Zirclean (Bisco).


3. Rinse and dry, then coat the internal surface with an MDP containing a zirconia primer like Z-Prime (Bisco). This primer supports the chemical adhesion of cements to zirconia restorations. Many clinicians apply the zirconia primer separately.


4. Then, the material is expressed into the individual crowns and seated.


5. A quick 5-second cure with the LED curing light helps set the material expressed on the crown margins. Then, let it set for 3 minutes to auto-cure.


6. RelyX Luting Plus makes removing excess cement relatively easy, while proper flossing and rinsing to remove any cement remnants is recommended. Utilizing the same sequence of steps ensures long-lasting restorations that provide years of use with little to no post-operative sensitivity for the patient.
