[LS5] Tosoh dental zirconia powder
[Abstract]
Metals, resins, and ceramics are mainly used as tooth restoration materials. Ceramics are suitable for tooth restoration due to their superior esthetics and biocompatibility, especially Zirconia has superior flexural strength and toughness to be applied for bridges. Therefore, crown restorations using zirconia prosthetics become very popular in recent years. As the world's leading manufacturer of zirconia raw powder, Tosoh has focused on high consistency of quality and kept developing powders with new function based on market requirement.
In order to satisfy market demands for high strength and toughness as well as further aesthetics, Tosoh has been ahead in the market in developing zirconia powders (Zpex®: for back teeth, Zpex Smile®: for anterior teeth, Zpex®4: for all teeth) which obtain excellent mechanical property and aesthetic at the same time, and changed zirconia material to be well applied for dental application.
In recent years, there is a new market trend for “chairside treatment” which shortens the treatment period and can be completed in a single visit. To accommodate this demand, Tosoh has successfully developed new zirconia powder applicable to high-speed sintering. Tosoh will introduce this new grade as well as the history of the development of zirconia ceramics for dental use.
