How to determine the best crown and bridge material for your each case?

Dental crowns and bridges are two forms of dentistry used to repair damaged teeth or replace teeth that have been lost secondary to caries, trauma, periodontal disease, etc. For patients, regaining function and improving aesthetics are often prerequisites for dental implant treatment. Throughout the last fifty years, materials used for dental implants have been extensively researched, and an understanding of how the physical and chemical properties affect the clinical outcome of the treatment has considerably improved.

These properties include the surface composition and the micro-structure of dental implants. Ideally, implant materials should be bio-compatible and resistant to corrosion and fracture. Implants can be made from titanium or zirconia (ceramic).
