1, different types of raw materials
Ceramic teeth: the use of cast metal as a support for the core, nickel-chromium alloy, titanium alloy, gold-platinum alloy and so on.
All-ceramic teeth: use special, high strength aluminum oxide or zirconia ceramic material as the core, is non-metallic material.
2, the degree of crack resistance is different
Ceramic teeth: the kernel is a metal material, the hardness is greater than enamel and all-porcelain teeth, the degree of resistance to cracking is also better than all-porcelain teeth.
All-ceramic teeth: core non-metallic materials, hardness is softer than porcelain teeth, harder than enamel, the degree of resistance to cracking is also inferior to porcelain teeth.
3, teeth aesthetics are different
Ceramic teeth:
1, metal base layer crown, porcelain layer thickness, grill teeth conditions and times, coloring agents, surface texture, light sources and other factors will affect the color.
2, metal in the oral cavity oxidized into gray oxides, precipitated in the edge of the gums, causing gums and gray.
3, to cover the color of the metal kernel must be used to cover the porcelain layer, so that the teeth level, sense of realism is poor.
All-ceramic teeth: built-in color, and provide a standard colorimetric plate, will not change the color with the above factors, there is good refractive properties and transparency, better dental aesthetics.
4, with different tissue compatibility
Ceramic teeth: the presence of metal core, compatibility is poor, may lead to metal allergies appear gum swelling, bleeding and other conditions.
All-ceramic teeth: very good compatibility, insoluble in saliva and other acidic and alkaline substances, allergies are less likely to occur.
5, applicable to different people
Ceramic teeth: suitable for the mouth of the missing teeth parts of the alveolar bone bone is enough, and the gap between the upper teeth and the lower teeth can not be less than 0.5 centimeters in the occlusion, mostly used for fixed bridges and other fixed fixation of high strength.
All-ceramic teeth: suitable for individual premolar, single crown of anterior teeth, inlays, high inlays and veneer restoration of implant restorations, which require good occlusal relationship.
6, the price is different
Ceramic teeth: equipment requirements are simple, the cost is low, the need for a few hundred to tens of thousands of a varying.
All-ceramic teeth: the production of all-ceramic teeth require special equipment and specially trained personnel to operate, the cost is higher, 10,000 to more than 100,000 a ranging.
7, precautions
After the porcelain teeth, be sure to pay attention to the following issues, can help you make the porcelain teeth longer life.
(1) wearing the initial period may be mildly uncomfortable, because the upper and lower cusp alignment may have changed, chewing should be slow, gradually adapt to avoid biting the buccal and lingual mucosa.
(2) Don't use porcelain teeth to bite too hard and tough food, such as melon seeds, walnuts, bones, sugar cane, etc., or you may chipped porcelain.
(3) You should pay attention to keep your mouth clean, brush your teeth twice a day, you can use dental floss to clean between your teeth after meals, and go to the hospital regularly for checkups and teeth cleaning.
(4) After wearing porcelain teeth, if the phenomenon of hot and cold sensitivity, pain and other phenomena continue or even aggravate, you need to consult a doctor in time.
