Porcelain-Fused-to-Zirconia

The Myron's Dental Laboratories team utilizes high-quality porcelain and zirconia materials to craft our porcelain-fused-to-zirconia restorations. Unlike metal-based crowns and bridges, porcelain-fused-to-zirconia solutions never exhibit unflattering discoloration or other esthetic challenges. This is due to the natural translucency of the zirconia used for the substructure. Since both zirconia and porcelain are naturally translucent and esthetic, these restorations exhibit warmer colors than their metal counterparts. Our laboratory team members are experts when it comes to porcelain restorations, which translates to ideal PFZ restorations. They skillfully layer the porcelain over durable zirconia in-house at our midwest and west coast-based facilities.

A CAD/CAM substitute for traditional PFM, our porcelain-fused-to-zirconia can be used for anterior and posterior crowns, crowns over implants, and bridges of up to fourteen units.

  • Attachment cases
  • Cases with less than 1 mm clearance
  • Bruxism
  • Patients who have broken a PFM crown
  • Cases that require bonding

The ideal preparation for PFZs is a chamfer margin preparation. If a porcelain labial margin is prescribed, then a shoulder margin preparation is required.

  • Resin Ionomer cement (RelyX or RelyX Unicem, 3M ESPE)
  • Maxcem Elite (Kerr)
  • Panavia F 2.0 (Kuraray) - ideal for short, tapered preparations
  • Glass ionomer cement (GC Fuji, GC America)

If an adjustment is required on the ceramic, use a fine diamond with water and air to keep the crown cool. To contour the ceramic, polish with a pink rubber wheel and diamond polishing paste (Brasseler, Shofu, Vident).
