Vitality
All Zirconia Crowns and Bridges.
VitalityTM full contour zirconia crowns and bridges provide a super- competitive priced all-ceramic alternative to full cast or metal occlusal crowns, which are still strong enough to resist forces applied by bruxers and grinders who might well have destroyed other restorations.
In today’s competitive market there is need for an economy, no frills sister product to accompany the popular very high translucency zrAdvanceTM full contour zr crowns and bridges, that still meets the quality standards we like to maintain.
VitalityTM is made from a high translucency zirconia and is ideal for heavy bites in the posterior region.

The Material
VitalityTM is made from a high translucency zirconia. There are two main factors affecting the translucency of zirconia:
i. grain size and structure – the smaller and more homogenous the particles are, the greater the translucency.
ii. Aluminium oxide – the less Alo2 in the zirconia the better the translucency. However, Alo2 is responsible for aging resistance, so really we need to keep it.
VitalityTM uses high quality zirconia with certain re nements to the grain size and crystal structure. This maintains the high exural strength and also maintains its aging resistance while increasing the translucency by around a further 20%.
