Protocol zirconia prosthesis for complete upper jaw full dental implant

The zirconia protocol prosthesis for the complete upper jaw is a fixed aesthetic prosthesis on a titanium dental implant for oral rehabilitation. It involves computerized design methods, and has become the most requested option among patients looking to combine the strength of the material with its superior aesthetic result in a total dental implant and protocol prosthesis treatment.

Designed using computerized technology and a 3D scanner, zirconia protocol prostheses with full dental implants are the most modern option for replacing completely lost teeth. Combined with fast-healing implant types, such as the Straumann implant, they allow for complete rehabilitation in a short space of time.

Today there are very modern dental implant options, such as the Straumann ceramic implant, or the Neodent Zi zirconia implant, an excellent option for those looking for metal-free implant treatment. It is also important to know that the healing time for a dental implant can vary from 1 to 6 months, depending on the type of implant chosen.

Why is the zirconia protocol the best material today?

Zirconia protocol prosthesis treatment is fully computerized. In addition, it allows for faster results, much more predictability in treatment, as it relies on computer graphics. It also allows for an aesthetically impeccable result and a lot of resistance. In addition, the treatment is carried out using only 3D scanners, without the need for the old conventional molds.

The absence of teeth certainly compromises aesthetics and the patient’s quality of life, which is why the placement of implants with prostheses is able to give the person peace of mind when chewing, speaking and smiling.

The zirconia protocol has many advantages over the conventional resin protocol with a metal structure. Its main qualities are aesthetics and high resistance.

Dental zirconia (pre-sintered zirconium oxide) is a translucent, light-colored material that allows light to pass through, just like natural teeth, and therefore offers an aesthetic result. In this sense, the structure of the Zirconia protocol prosthesis looks discreet inside the prosthesis, even if exposed in brightly lit environments. Certainly the most modern materials are the Zirconia protocol and the porcelain protocol on a total implant.

Zirconia is made using a computerized 3D method and is not a manual job

The structure of the zirconia prosthesis is a single piece, obtained by milling a rough block on a machine that works like a 3D printer. In other words, the treatment is planned on a computer using CAD/CAM technology. The milling machine then wears away the zirconia block until it reaches the shape of the structure of the prosthesis designed to be installed on a dental implant.

Finally, the zirconia structure is characterized with porcelain and the shade is obtained by brushing on specific coloring liquids for this purpose. It is possible to reproduce various shades that make up the same tooth, leaving the prosthesis looking very natural.

The zirconia prosthesis is then screwed onto the dental implants, which are strategically placed in the jaw. The fixed zirconia protocol on implants can bring great relief, especially for patients who wear dentures. What’s more, this model of prosthesis leaves the roof of the mouth free and the patient feels more comfortable chewing and speaking.

Another great advantage of the zirconia protocol prosthesis over the resin protocol is its resistance to staining. In principle, resin is a material that can stain or yellow over time and with pigmented foods.

Advantages of the zirconia protocol:

More resistant, while resin can fracture
More aesthetic result because there is no metal in the structure (Metal Free Prosthesis)
Zirconia teeth are more resistant to staining than resin teeth
Computerized design makes it possible to create a prosthesis that is more precise and suited to the needs of each patient
Faster treatment
Materials that are biocompatible with the human body

Indications for fixed zirconia dental prostheses – Zirconia Protocol

In principle, the patient needs to go for a consultation with an implant dentist at the ImplArt Dental Clinic, so that clinical criteria such as bone volume and general oral conditions can be assessed.

Maxillary rehabilitation with a zirconia protocol can be indicated for people with total upper edentulism, even those who have been wearing removable prostheses for a long time.
