Brief Summary
NuSmile Zirconia crowns: Prefabricated pediatric Zirconia crowns offer an excellent alternative to full-coverage crowns when restoring deciduous teeth with a sizeable carious defect. These crowns have high flexural strength, allowing them to resist crack propagation. The additional benefits of these crowns are the ability to replace metals due to extremely high strength and toughness, higher resistance to chemicals, and superior erosion resistance. Zirconia crowns are biocompatible, autoclavable, and equal to or more durable than natural enamel.
