Material selection
Unless otherwise specified, it is safe to assume:
Single units:
- Molars - Monolithic 3-Y zirconia is preferred at all molar sites.
- Premolars - Typically, monolithic gradient (3-Y/5-Y) zirconia such as Zircad Prime.
- Anteriors - Usually monolithic gradient zirconoia such as Zircad Prime. PFZ (with 3-Y zirconia coping) or e.Max may also be considered.
FMR or PMR cases - Monolithic gradient zirconia such as Zircas Prime for teeth #6-11, monolithic 3-Y zirconia for all other sites.
FDPs - Monolithic 3-Y zirconia.
