Full Gold restorations have routinely been used in the dental field for many years. They can be used for many restorations such as crowns, bridges, inlays/onlays, and consist of either non-precious or precious gold alloys. The Full Gold crowns key attribute is its longevity and significantly minimal risk of fracture. It is also very gentle on the opposing teeth, similar to natural teeth, as opposed to porcelain restorations. With high biocompatibility, no other restoration can deliver the dependable results of this material.
A shoulder prep is not needed, a mild chamfer or feather edge margins is adequate. For buccal, lingual, and occlusal reduction 1mm is ideal, but can go 0.5mm in some areas where further reduction is needed.
Zeus Full Zirconia can be cemented using resin reinforced glass ionomer such as RelyX Luting cement. For maximum bond strength, use resin cement like RelyX Ultimate, Panavia V5 or Multilink Automix. Before delivery to your office, the interior surface of all zirconia crowns are cleaned with Ivoclean and disinfected ready for insertion.
If adjustments are needed, use zirconia specific diamonds and wheels with diamond paste. Adjust full-contour zirconia crowns and bridges using fine diamond burrs, water and air spray to keep restoration cold and to avoid microfractures. Restorations can be polished with Brasseler Dialite system or similar substitutes. For a high shine, you can use Ziocon-Brite from DVA with stiff bristle brush or similar substitutes.
