Discover Why SAPTeeth are Lighter and Stronger than Zirconia Ceramic<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Recent advances in research and development have led to the adaptation of high-performance polymers in dental treatment<\/a>, 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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\u2019s are not suitable for immediate implant loading.<\/p>\n\n\n

SAPTeeth<\/a> are made from highly specialized polymers known under the \u2018SAPT\u2019 technology. SAPT stands for \u2018shock absorbable permanent teeth\u2019 they are made from materials like HIPC that are designed to protect the structures included, the nomenclature  reflects the expected wear time: \u20180.5yw denotes  an expected wear time of about half a year,\u20192yw\u2019 denotes two years, and \u20189yw\u2019 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.<\/p>\n\n\n

    Advantages of Zirconia CROWN<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
