With the dental advances made in the last 20 years, adult aesthetic dental restoration has
been on the rise and preferred, in many cases, over other available methods. This interest
in aesthetic dental restoration naturally carried over into pediatric dentistry, and in 2010,
primary zirconia crowns became available for children.
What is Zirconia?
Zirconia is a biocompatible material which has been used in high-end cosmetic dentistry for
over 15 years in adult procedures, such as:
Crowns
Implant abutments
Endodontic posts
Due to its high durability, zirconia has been utilized in hip replacement surgeries for
decades. Recognizing the growing need for pediatric aesthetic dental restoration, zirconia
was specifically designed for pediatric dental patients.
Pediatric dental crowns are generally used when treating severe dental caries
(cavities). Several crown options are available should your child need dental restorative
care, including:
1. Stainless steel crowns (also called silver crowns): These strong, durable
crowns are commonly used when aesthetics are not a concern, such as
molars that are out of sight.
2. Pre-veneered stainless steel crowns: Stainless steel crowns can have a
white facing adhered to the metal surface that makes teeth look more
natural. Pre-veneered crowns are typically used on teeth which show more
prominently, however, the stainless steel can sometimes show through,
especially near the gum line.
3. Bonded resin composite strip crowns: One of the more aesthetic,
natural-looking crowns available, these crowns are made of a composite
resin material. They can be difficult to place on the damaged teeth due
to the length of time required to perform the technique, especially on
small children. Resin crowns may also discolor over time and are not as
strong as other options.
4. EZ-Pedo All Ceramic Zirconia Crowns: These are prefabricated, ceramic
crowns designed specifically for children and made of zirconia (zirconium
dioxide). They are extremely natural-looking dental crowns which are
aesthetically pleasing from all sides. White zirconia dental crowns are
composed of one solid tooth glazed with natural color and are
exceptionally durable.
The zirconia crown kits contain various pre-made crowns in different sizes. After preparing
a tooth to receive a crown, your dentist will select the appropriate size crown, which is then
passively placed on the tooth and cemented in place. Zirconia crowns are typically cemented
in place with:
Resin cement
Resin-modified glass ionomer (RMGI) cement
Bioactive RMGI cement
Because zirconia crowns are pre-made, they can be fitted and placed on the patient during
one visit, rather than using a temporary crown until the permanent one is made, and then
returning at a later date for placement. Zirconia crowns also require no dental impressions
and are not technique sensitive, making the experience more comfortable for the child.
Aesthetically superior
Highly durable
Metal-free
Resistant to plaque, accumulation, and decay
Biocompatible
Performed in a single office visit
Zirconia crowns can be used in most cases in which a crown is recommended. Cases not
recommended for zirconia crowns include those involving:
Significant crowding
Little tooth structure remaining
Space loss
Patients with heavy bruxism (teeth grinding)
Finding out that your child needs a crown due to dental decay, dental developmental
problems, or damage can be a time of unease. With many options available for restoring
your child’s teeth, the task can seem overwhelming. Dr. Rubin recommends using EZ-Pedo
white metal-free aesthetic crowns. Choosing these state-of-the-art zirconia crowns will set
your mind at ease knowing that your child’s smile will look healthy and natural, while raising
your child’s confidence and self-esteem.
