what is Zirconomer Tooth filling?
Dr. Raj Kumar Singh
Zirconomer is a cutting-edge tooth-filling material that is made from a mixture of zirconium oxide, a biocompatible and biostable ceramic material, and glass ionomer powder. It is an alternative to traditional tooth fillings, such as amalgam and composite resin, and offers a number of benefits for patients.
Advantages of Zirconomer fillings
- Strong and durable: Zirconomer fillings are extremely strong and durable, and are able to withstand the forces of biting and chewing. They can last for many years, even up to 20 years with proper care and maintenance.
- Biocompatible: Unlike amalgam fillings, which can contain potentially toxic metals such as mercury, zirconomer is biocompatible and safe for use in the human body.
- Aesthetically pleasing: Zirconomer fillings are tooth-colored and can be matched to the exact shade of the patient’s natural teeth, making them virtually invisible in the mouth.
- Minimally invasive: Zirconomer fillings can be placed using minimally invasive techniques, which means less tooth structure needs to be removed, preserving more of the natural tooth.
- High thermal conductivity: Zirconia has a high thermal conductivity which helps in maintaining the temperature of the tooth.
- High chemical stability: Zirconia has high chemical stability which makes it resistant to chemical corrosion.
- High flexural strength: Zirconia has a high flexural strength which makes it resistant to breakage and fractures.
- Low solubility: Zirconia has a low solubility in the oral environment which makes it a suitable material for use in the oral cavity.
- If you are looking for a tooth-filling material that is strong, durable, biocompatible, and aesthetically pleasing, Zirconomer may be the perfect choice for you.
