Monolithic Zirconia Crown
A full-contour zirconia crown for posterior teeth and implant abutments, milled from 3Y-TZP and stained before sintering so the colour cannot wear through.
The crown is designed with a 0.5 mm minimum axial thickness and 0.8 mm occlusal thickness for bruxism cases, then milled and sintered in-house. Staining is applied to the green state and sintered into the surface, which keeps the shade stable under occlusal loading.
Margins are checked on the printed model at magnification before dispatch. We record the blank lot number against your case number, so a remake can be traced to the exact material batch.

Common questions
Is a monolithic crown aesthetic enough for premolars?
Yes. Multilayer blanks give a natural value gradient, and we can add incisal translucency with a cut-back design at no extra cost.
What cement do you recommend?
For 3Y-TZP we recommend a self-adhesive resin cement with a zirconia primer. We include the recommendation on the case sheet.
