How does TLZ-IB compare to ROE's other full-arch fixed materials?
ROE offers a range of full-arch fixed prosthetic materials so you can balance strength, esthetics, weight, and vertical space. The TLZ-IB sits at the high end for both esthetics and wear resistance.
| Option | Esthetics | Wear | Prosthetic Design | Substructure | Notable Materials |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| TLZ-IB Zirconia | 5/5 | 5/5 | FP3 / FP2 / FP1 | Full zirconia | Full zirconia, MiYO liquid porcelain, titanium cylinders |
| TLZ-IB with Metal Substructure | 4/5 | 5/5 | FP3 | Titanium | Full zirconia, MiYO liquid porcelain, titanium substructure |
| NobelProcera | 5/5 | 5/5 | FP3 / FP2 / FP1 | DOCERAM Nacera Pearl Zirconia | Nacera Pearl Zirconia, MiYO liquid porcelain |
| G-CAM Graphenano | 4/5 | 3/5 | FP3 / FP2 / FP1 | Trilor or titanium | Graphene nanoreinforced biopolymer (G-CAM) disc |
Per ROE's full-arch video, the materials span a spectrum from softer options through to nearly clinically indestructible ones. ROE's softer-material designs, such as the milled composite tooth bonded to a Trilor or titanium substructure, depend on the lab correctly designing a substructure for tooth support, because the substructure supports the superstructure and prevents shearing or breaking of materials.
The full-zirconia FP3 is described as the workhorse of full-arch restorations and ROE's longest-warranty item. For a side-by-side of strength tiers, see ROE's "Full Arch Options: Strength Guide" video on the product page.
