Lithium Disilicate Crowns

Lithium disilicate crowns are dental restorations made from a glass-ceramic material known for its excellent aesthetic qualities and strength. This type of crown is particularly popular for its ability to mimic the natural translucency and color of tooth enamel, making it a highly desirable option for anterior and some posterior restorations.

Advantages of Lithium Disilicate Crowns

Superior Aesthetics

Lithium disilicate is highly translucent and can be closely matched to the natural color of teeth. This makes it an ideal material for front teeth where appearance is paramount.

Strength and Durability Although not as strong as zirconia, lithium disilicate is still quite durable and resistant to fracture. It offers a good balance between strength and aesthetics, suitable for both anterior and some posterior teeth.

Minimal Tooth Reduction Lithium disilicate crowns can be fabricated with minimal tooth reduction, preserving more of the natural tooth structure.

Biocompatibility This material is biocompatible, reducing the risk of allergic reactions or irritation. It integrates well with the gum tissue, promoting oral health.

Versatility Lithium disilicate can be used for various dental restorations, including crowns, veneers, inlays, onlays, and even some bridges. Its versatility makes it a flexible option for different dental needs.

TOUCH

Exceptional Aesthetics: IPS e.max restorations offer lifelike translucency and a wide range of shades, ensuring natural-looking results suitable for both anterior and posterior teeth.
High Strength and Durability: With flexural strength ranging from 360 MPa to 530 MPa depending on the material (lithium disilicate or zirconium oxide), IPS e.max is highly resistant to fractures, making it ideal for long-lasting restorations.
Versatility: Suitable for various applications, including crowns, veneers, inlays, onlays, bridges, and implant restorations. It supports both CAD/CAM and press techniques, ensuring flexibility in clinical use

TOUCH

Adjustable Translucency
: By adjusting the heat treatment temperature, a single block can achieve various translucency levels such as HT (High Translucency), MT (Medium Translucency), LT (Low Translucency), and MO (Opaque). This enhances inventory management and workflow efficiency.
Natural Aesthetics: Amber Mill effectively replicates the opalescence of natural teeth (bluish in reflected light, yellowish in transmitted light) and fluorescence, providing natural color gradation without additional staining.

Disadvantages of Lithium Disilicate Crowns

Less Strength Compared to Zirconia

While strong, lithium disilicate is not as durable as zirconia. It may not be the best choice for patients with heavy bite forces or bruxism (teeth grinding).

Cost Lithium disilicate crowns can be more expensive than some other types of dental restorations due to the material cost and the technical expertise required for their fabrication.

Limited Use for Large Bridges Due to its lower strength compared to zirconia, lithium disilicate is generally not recommended for large span bridges or restorations in high-stress areas without adequate support.

Our recommendation

Lithium disilicate crowns offer a sophisticated and realistic choice for dental restorations, particularly well-suited for visible areas where appearance is crucial.
