Recently, Topzir Biotech - a Chinese material manufacturer - presented a novel composite material for dental restoration procedures made of zirconia powders.
Zirconia is aesthetically very similar to the real tooth - it mimics the color and translucency of enamel giving crowns, bridges, and implants the most natural view.
TopZir produced a three-layer block containing zirconia powder mixed with different types of yttrium. This approach guarantees strength and durability, and moreover, the composite material structure allows dentists to copy any tooth color or shape.
Also, Topzir Biotech offers special burs and grinders to polish and texture the zircona block effectively.
Zircona has been gaining popularity for the last decades due to its high biocompatibility - it is a metal-free alternative to titanium (one of the best for implantation due to its mechanical properties, good corrosion resistance, and low risk of biological rejection occurrence).
