How does TLZ Zirconia with MiYO compare to ROE's other monolithic crown options?
ROE offers three monolithic crown options: TLZ Zirconia with MiYO, zRc Zirconia, and IPS e.max Monolithic. TLZ and zRc are both full-contour 4Y zirconia; the main difference is that TLZ adds the MiYO liquid ceramic finish for enhanced translucency and characterization, while zRc is ROE's standard, more economical full-contour zirconia. The table below compares the full fixed restoration lineup. Strength values are flexural strength as stated by ROE, and star ratings reflect ROE's relative scoring.
| Product | Material | Flexural strength | Esthetics | Wear | Relative price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| TLZ Zirconia with MiYO® | Full-contour 4Y zirconia + MiYO® liquid ceramic | 1100 MPa | ★★★★ | ★★★★★ | $ |
| zRc Zirconia | Full-contour 4Y zirconia | 1100 MPa | ★★★ | ★★★★★ | $ |
| IPS e.max® Monolithic | Lithium disilicate | 530 MPa | ★★★ | ★★★★ | $ |
| IPS e.max® Layered | Lithium disilicate + low-fusing porcelain | 400 MPa | ★★★★★ | ★★★★ | $$$$ |
| PFZ (Porcelain Fused Zirconia) | 4Y zirconia + low-fusing porcelain | 250 MPa | ★★★★★ | ★★★★ | $$$$ |
| PFM (Porcelain Fused Metal) | Metal + opaque + layered porcelain | 200 MPa | ★★★ | ★★★★ | $$$ |
| Full Cast Metal | Non-precious, noble, or high-noble alloy | N/A | ★★ | ★★★★★ | $ |
In short, TLZ delivers the same high strength as zRc with better esthetics thanks to MiYO, which makes it a strong all-around choice for cases that need both durability and a natural appearance.
