Zirconium is an infrastructure material. The porcelain to be made on is the same material as the metal-supported porcelain.

The most important difference and advantage is that it is white metal, so the light transmittance is higher and more natural images are obtained.
At the same time, black purple lines seen on the gingiva at the end of the prosthesis over time in metal-supported porcelain are not seen in zirconium-based porcelain.

This material with very high biocompatibility contributes to gum health.

The fact that it is a white METAL has made it superior in terms of durability compared to other infrastructure materials used in dentistry, and more resistant to pressure and tensile forces.
