Strong, attractive and compatible: Expect only the
best.
There are not many materials, such as natural
diamond, which combine exceptional beauty and strength. In
dentistry, there has been continuous research and development to
find materials suitable for dental prosthesis that are aesthetically
acceptable, of sufficient strength and which are perfectly tolerated
by the human body. For many years ceramic materials combined with
metals have been used in dental restorations, ceramic to achieve the
desired aesthetics, metal for strength. A high-tech ceramic,
Zirconium Oxide, is now available and has already been pr oven in
many extreme situations such as heat shields in the Space Shuttle,
brake disks for sports cars and the spherical heads of artificial
hip joints. This high-tech ceramic has the potential to give
prosthetic care a whole new image, because thanks to Cercon smart
ceramics it can now be used in dentistry. With the Cercon system,
all-ceramic crowns and bridges of up to four units can be made in
the incisal and molar regions. In individual cases, depending on the
gap of the bridged teeth, even bridges of up to six units are
possible. Additional dental applications are already in the testing
phase and are just awaiting test results.
The aim of every dental restoration: no reaction.
Did you know that the skin on your back is
around 15 times more sensitive than the mucous membrane (or tissues)
in your mouth? For this reason allergy tests are often performed on
an individual’s back. The test results with our neutral ceramic are
clear and according to our current knowledge, there should not be
any adverse reaction to Cercon smart ceramics even in the most
sensitive of people. In the extensive literature available on
zirconium oxide, no individual cases of allergic reaction have been
reported to date. Possible interactions with any metals contained in
existing dental prostheses will also be excluded. Your Cercon
restoration will therefore promote your well being and keep you
healthy.
Friendly to body and tooth in every aspect.
Other important properties of a Cercon
restoration are very positive for the wearer. The surfaces of the
veneering porcelain Cercon cream® S ensure reduced plaque adhesion
and thus support good oral hygiene. What’s more, your all-ceramic
restoration will have an excellent insulating effect and you won’t
have to worry about any unpleasant sensations with hot or cold meals
and drinks.
Cercon smart ceramics may also enable more
gentle treatment with less tooth preparation, thanks to the
excellent hardness qualities of zirconium oxide your dentist may be
able to preserve more healthy tooth substance – depending on the
individual initial situation.
Zirconium oxide has already
been used in medical applications for nearly 20 years and as a
result of long-term observations, the material may also now be
safely recommended for the sensitive oral cavity.
Value real quality highly.
In addition to a better appearance there are
other features that determine the result and longevity of your
investment that serve as a particular standard for quality. With
Cercon smart ceramics, these quality standards are not just met but
re-established. A Cercon dental restoration makes no compromises in
aesthetics, compatibility, durability and function.
