Clinical Benefits of the TLZ-IB
Monolithic Zirconia TLZ-IB
- Structural Integrity: Eliminates delamination risk between materials, superior fracture resistance due to uniform material properties throughout, providing an overall reduction in maintenance requirements.
- Clinical Efficiency: Streamlined adjustment procedures during delivery and simplified repair protocols when needed reduce overall chair time.
- Patient Comfort: Smooth, non-porous surface, along with excellent biocompatibility, reduces plaque accumulation and simplifies home care.
Layered Zirconia TLZ-IB
- Enhanced Esthetics: Superior color depth and translucency through strategic ceramic layering, including incisal translucency and surface texture. This can create a more lifelike appearance, particularly in the esthetic zone
- Clinical Versatility: Opportunity for chairside adjustments and refinements to optimize esthetics, including the ability to mask challenging underlying implant positions or angulations
- Functional Advantages: Better stress distribution through engineered layer thickness variations
Shared Clinical Benefits
Both configurations eliminate common prosthetic failures including denture tooth loss, acrylic fractures, and component wear while requiring minimal vertical space (10mm) for conservative surgical approaches and universal implant compatibility.
