ORIZIN STANDRAD CROWNS (NEXXZR t ZIRCONIA)
NexxZr T (Translucent) Zirconia (manufactured by Sagemax, a subsidiary of Ivoclar) is a premium, high-strength dental zirconium oxide material used for creating crowns and bridges. It is characterized by a balance of high flexural strength and natural translucency, making it a “standard” or “workhorse” choice for both anterior and posterior restorations.
Zirconium (Zr) is a lustrous, grey-white transition metal known for its excellent corrosion resistance and high melting point of 1855 °C. It maintains strength and structural integrity under extreme conditions and forms a stable oxide layer that protects it from oxidation.
In the medical field, zirconium dioxide, also known as zirconia, is applied as a material for dental and surgical implants due to its biocompatibility and durability. Zirconia is also used as a gemstone — cubic zirconia — a synthesized material that can be a substitute for diamonds and other precious stones.
