In recent years, with aesthetic expectations similar to natural teeth, attention has been paid to the aesthetics of the materials used in the mouth, especially in the anterior regions. Metal-supported porcelains, which have been used for many years, have begun to seek new alternatives due to the fact that the natural appearance cannot be achieved due to the lack of light permeability in the systems, and they cause allergic cases in the person from time to time, as well as cause graying in the gums over time.
Zirconium has started to be used in dentistry with its tissue-friendly feature. With the use of zirconium in dentistry, durability close to the metal infrastructure has been achieved. The fact that it does not reflect under porcelain like other materials, does not cause discoloration on the gums, and its resistance to corrosion has increased the use of zirconium.
