Zirconia
A high-strength ceramic material (zirconium dioxide) used in dentistry to fabricate crowns, bridges, and implant abutments that combine excellent aesthetic translucency with superior fracture resistance compared to traditional porcelain. Zirconia restorations are metal-free, biocompatible, and have become the preferred material for higher-priced dental work in the international dental tourism market.
