Abstract
PIMENTEL HERNANDEZ, Jorge and SALAZAR URQUIZA, América. Use of zirconia in full maxillary rehabilitation on implants: Clinical case report. Rev. Odont. Mex [online]. 2015, vol.19, n.1, pp.43-47. ISSN 1870-199X.
Zirconia (ZrO2) is a ceramic material possessing suitable mechanic properties for usage in frameworks over implants. Presently, there is availability of zirconia cores for fixed partial prostheses in anterior and posterior teeth and implants. Accuracy and precision in framework manufacturing are a pre-requisite for long-term success in restorations supported by implants. Manufacturing of zirconia framework requires wide knowledge and skill in clinical operators as well as technicians in order to achieve suitable adjustment and passiveness. The present article describes the manufacture of a ZrO2 structure and individual crowns to rehabilitate the maxillary segment with six implants.
Keywords : Zirconia; dental implants; ceramic restorations.
