A standard full solid Zirconia crown post is a dental restoration component where Zirconia, a strong ceramic, is used to create the core of a tooth's post structure. Initially, the PFM (Porcelain Fused to Metal) coping is formed, followed by the layering of porcelain to achieve the desired aesthetics and functionality.

Key Terms:

  • Zirconia Post: A dental post made from Zirconia, known for its durability and biocompatibility.

  • Post: The metal component inside a dental crown that provides structural support.

  • Core: The central part of the post that is covered with porcelain to form the crown.


Benefits of a Zirconia Crown Post:

  1. Durability: Zirconia is exceptionally strong and resistant to wear and fractures.

  2. Biocompatibility: It is highly compatible with the body, reducing the risk of allergic reactions.

  3. Aesthetics: The porcelain layering over the Zirconia core provides a natural and pleasing appearance.
