Full Zirconia Crown

Smile Crown

Smile Crown made of monolithic full zirconia is the strongest in the Smile Crown series. Its flexural strength is 1040 MPa (megapascals). While it boasts high strength, it lacks translucency due to being monochromatic, so it is not particularly recommended for anterior teeth where aesthetic appeal is crucial. It is recommended for use from premolars to molars. Shades range from A1 to A4. External staining allows for finer color nuances to be reproduced.

Smile Crown Gradation (Multilayer)

Smile Crown Gradient is a full zirconia crown with natural shades, as it is made from a disc with 5 layers of color tones. The translucency increases from the cervical area to the incisal edge. The flexural strength is 780 MPa for the incisal 2/5 and 1100 MPa for the cervical 3/5. It is available in shades ranging from A1 to A4. External staining can also be applied to achieve even finer color nuances. It can be used for both anterior and posterior teeth, but since it is milled from a pre-shaded disc, external staining is recommended for the anterior region, where a precise color match with adjacent teeth is required. The higher translucency at the incisal edge compared to Smile Crown allows for a more natural shade reproduction when staining is applied.

Smile Crown Natural (Multilayer)

Smile Crown Natural has the highest translucency among the Smile Crown series and offers aesthetics close to e-max. Since it already includes staining, it allows for a wide range of color reproduction similar to porcelain layering. It is available in all shade systems. While its high translucency results in a lower flexural strength of 650 MPa compared to other Smile Crowns, it is still stronger than e-max, which has a flexural strength of 450 MPa, so you can be assured of its durability. Although it is a full zirconia crown, it is gentle on opposing teeth. It can be used for both anterior and posterior teeth. Considering both aesthetics and strength, Smile Crown Natural is the most recommended option.
