Discover Why SAPTeeth are Lighter and Stronger than Zirconia Ceramic
Recent advances in research and development have led to the adaptation of high-performance polymers in dental treatment, cutting-edge research conducted by leading international dental industry experts have revealed that certain high-performance polymers offer an innovative approach. These innovative materials provide patient with elite care from the inception, delivering effective, efficient and successful solutions for their dental prosthesis.
SAP Teeth and zirconia crowns are both advanced dental restorative materials but differ significantly in composition, mechanical behaviour, and clinical application. Though zirconia crowns are very close to natural look of the tooth they are bulky, not easy to repair and the most crucial is that zirconia’s are not suitable for immediate implant loading.
Understand About “SAPTeeth”
SAPTeeth are made from highly specialized polymers known under the ‘SAPT’ technology. SAPT stands for ‘shock absorbable permanent teeth’ they are made from materials like HIPC that are designed to protect the structures included, the nomenclature reflects the expected wear time: ‘0.5yw denotes an expected wear time of about half a year,’2yw’ denotes two years, and ‘9yw’ denotes nine years. These polymers also offer the advantage of easy in-mouth repair within minutes ,in case of an infection of the underlying tooth or bone only the affected part can be treated and refurbished in a matter of minutes.
Key Features of SAPTeeth Dental Crown
- High translucency, natural appearance
- Easy to repair
- Cross linked composite polymer offers superior physical properties
- Metal free
- Strength over 120 MPa with minimal solubility in saliva
- Elastic modulus: >2200 MPa
- Excellent gingival response and pressure absorbing capability
- Minimal wear to the opposing natural teeth
- Can be fabricated quickly
Advantages of Zirconia CROWN
Zirconia crowns are made from zirconium dioxide, a strong and biocompatible ceramic with very high hardness and strength, they offer exceptional durability, fracture resistance ,and a natural tooth like appearance but they are bulky and are prone to fractures, not suitable for immediate implant loading,poor elasticity therefore brittle,harder than natural tooth and bulkier,thus it is prone to fractures of supporting structures.
SAPTeeth covers all the cons and flaws of zirconia, there are different materials under SAPTeeth like SAPT. Temp, SAPT. MultiCom, SAPT. HighImpact, SAPT .Nano. SAPT.HighImpact is plaque-resistant with excellent gingival compatibility and resistant to discoloration and thus leads to higher patient acceptance,it also offers a life span of 9+ years.

Our Latest Research Findings
One of the most advanced materials for artificial teeth today is SAPTeeth™. SAPTeeth™ are a group of highly advanced polymers specially engineered to protect the bone, dental implants and natural teeth under the prosthesis. For long-term dental restorations, SAPT.HighImpact has been tested in vivo and approved for an expected service life of over 9 years. It is clinically proven, safe to use, highly plaque-resistant and shows excellent gingival compatibility and resistance to discoloration—leading to superior patient comfort and acceptance.
SAPT.HighImpact offers a wide range of indications with a single versatile material, providing high strength and long-term stability. Unlike ceramics, which can “age” and become brittle over time, this high-performance polymer maintains its strength and is easy to repair if needed.
As a framework material, SAPT.BioPEEK sets a new benchmark for permanent dental prostheses. It is monomer-free, with no known allergic reactions or gingival discoloration. Lightweight and similar to bone in behavior, it is biocompatible and integrates well into the jaw. There is no galvanic effect, no oxidation and no metal taste. By partially absorbing and compensating for compression and torsional forces during chewing, it provides a periodontal-like effect, enhancing wearing comfort. With high wear resistance, excellent chewing comfort and shock-absorbing properties, SAPT.BioPEEK can contribute to lower implant failure rates in the long term.
