Prismatik Clinical Zirconia crowns and bridges provide the esthetics of an all-ceramic with the strength of a PFM. A natural-looking restoration that exhibits impressive strength for an affordable price, Prismatik CZ has no metal to show through the ceramic and no unsightly black lines at the gingival. In addition, laboratory tests have shown the fracture toughness and flexural strength of zirconia are significantly higher than that of alumina or any other all-ceramic. Prismatik Clinical Zirconia crowns and bridges are cemented conventionally with resin ionomers and demonstrate outstanding biocompatibility in the mouth.
