They still decay ... most likely due to poor isolation technique when luting, especially with
resin based cement. ■

Zirconia crowns are awesome. Starting to believe it's the best material we have for single
units. Fine diamond to remove. Crown remover cracks it. Easier then PFM. ■

Then why are removing them? They haven't been available that long. ■

I remove a handful of year from recurrent decay that I didn't place. I remove way more PFMs
for the same reason. ■

For the same reasons that hips and knee replacements are redone and plastic surgeries get
modified. None of us hits 100 percent. As I've heard, "our Creator gives us our first round of
teeth. We dentists take our best shot at the replacements." ■

True, but the shelf life of the average cast gold restoration seems to be a lot longer than
zirconia ... Glidewell who claims to have been producing zirconia restorations the longest only
started in 2009. ■

Correction: Cast gold is the best. Zirc is second. ■

We tested burs for cutting through zirconia.
[Editor's note: View this video on the message board thread.]
When we tested them initially, the most efficient bur was a coarse bur from Komet (now
called the 4ZR). We tested some more burs recently and found that the NeoDiamond 1116.8M
from Microcopy cut equally as well. Both coarse burs caused chipping (so they wouldn't be good
for cutting access holes through zirconia crowns-and then it would be preferable to use a fine
diamond). No financial interest in either company (except we had several manufacturers donate
burs for testing). ■

Lane, I'm of the opinion that high caries risk/rate and poor diet/OH grossly trumps prosthetic material selection. Cast gold is always better, but a mouth on fi re still destroys it. Do
you disagree? ■

True, but patients with burned down teeth don't get crowns until get under control... ■
11/5/2017

Depends on what you mean by control. If I waited on ideal or great control for every patient
I have in my blue-collar area to do a crown, I'd be waiting until St. Switherns day. ■
