FMZir - Fully Milled Monolithic Zirconia Crowns
FMZir is a new generation fully milled monolithic solid zirconia crown or bridge restoration with no veneering ceramic
The principal qualities of FMZ are:
-
Strength and accuracy; designed and milled using CAD/CAM technology, FMZir crowns and bridges are sintered for 6.5 hours at 1,530 degrees Celsius. The final FMZir solid zirconia crown or bridge emerges nearly “bulletproof” with reported compressive strengths of over 1200 mpa. -
No danger of delamination of traditional porcelain veneer layer as with some porcelain fused to zirconia crowns
-
Acceptable aesthetics when inserted in lieu of metal occlusal PFM and full-cast metal restorations in the posterior segment
-
Virtually chip-proof, it is an ideal restoration for bruxers and grinders, if opposed to metal or other all zirconia restorations
-
Conservative preparations similar to FGC are acceptable
