3D Pro Multilayer porcelain teeth and things to know

 What is 3D Pro Multilayer porcelain teeth?

3D Pro Multilayer porcelain teeth(3D Pro ML) is a type of porcelain tooth created for the purpose of implant restoration, especiallypersonalized dental implants. Unlike current porcelain teeth that are made from 2 layers of different materials, 3D Pro ML is made 100% of multilayer, homogeneous monolithic Zirconia.

Up to now, 3D Pro ML is a type of porcelain tooth with many properties similar to real teeth.

Machining materials and production methods of 3D Pro Multilayer ceramic teeth

3D Pro ML porcelain teeth are made from multilayer Zirconia material, this is a completely different type of Zirconia from Zirconia used in all-ceramic teeth with old generation Zirconia cores.

A Zirconia wheel used to produce 3D Pro ML usually has 5 to 6 layers, these layers are created by stacking countless layers of Zirconium oxide molecules, at each layer the density of Zirconium oxide molecules will be different, thereby giving different hardness, different colors, different levels of light penetration and light refraction, different abrasion and elastic bending.

The reason why previous Zirconia ceramic cakes did not have these properties is because they were only produced in a single layer. Today, thanks to the application of molecular electrophoresis technology in Zirconia production, manufacturers can stretch the distance between Zirconium oxide molecules on each different layer, stacking multiple layers of molecules with the same properties on top of each other, thereby creating a multi-layer generation of zirconia.

In terms of production method, 3D Pro ML is produced. Completely with CAD/CAM technology, designed on a computer and turned entirely by robot, no need to add Porcelain on the outside like regular porcelain teeth. If you are in need of a dental implant you can carefully study this method to make the most suitable choice!

Advantages and disadvantages of 3D Pro Multilayer porcelain teeth

Before going into the advantages and disadvantages of 3D Pro ML porcelain teeth, let's learn about the properties of a real tooth. Our real tooth enamel has the following properties:

• In terms of color: Human tooth enamel is not uniform but tends to be yellow - darker in the tooth neck area, gradually fading and brighter white in the biting edge area (chewing surface).
• Regarding translucency: tooth enamel has a certain level of translucency, and this translucency also fluctuates, being clearer in the biting edge area (chewing surface) and gradually decreasing until the tooth neck.
• About hardness: the hardness of a real tooth is also not the same. hardest, harder in the tooth neck area (from 900 - 1200 MPa) and softer in the biting edge (chewing surface) area (about 500 - 650 MPa).
• Regarding elasticity: Tooth enamel has a maximum settlement when chewing at 83 GPa. The ability to settle (elasticity) of tooth enamel helps the chewing force to disperse better, avoiding the trauma of breaking, chipping tooth enamel and cracking the crown and root of teeth.
• Tooth enamel abrasion resistance: Tooth enamel will wear down when chewing, grinding, rubbing against objects with hardness greater than 1,250 MPa.

Currently, 3D Pro ML is a type of porcelain tooth with properties closest to real teeth.

First advantage: Highest durability among all types of porcelain teeth due to resistance to cracking

Due to being produced from only one type of Zirconia material, a material with very high fracture resistance thanks to the ability to stretch molecules, therefore 3D Pro ML porcelain teeth are almost impossible to break under the impact of force. chewing.

Meanwhile, titanium ceramic teeth and all-ceramic teeth with Zirconia core are made from two types of materials, an inner force-bearing core (can be single-layer Titanium or Zirconia) and an outer layer of Porcelain. These two materials are glued together with Opac glue, so they can peel off during chewing. On the other hand, although Porcelain porcelain is a type of porcelain with high hardness, it is very brittle.

2nd advantage: Very good aesthetics

• About color: 3D Pro ML is the only type of porcelain tooth that gives the same color as real teeth without having to process additional porcelain filling.

On each multi-layer Zirconia ceramic cake, the color is coded to change from the biting edge to the body - the neck of the tooth. It will be brighter at the biting edge, gradually yellower and darker at the neck of the tooth. Therefore, when using 3D Pro ML, the doctor only needs to choose the correct color of the patient's real teeth. The color after production will be very harmonious and match the real teeth.

The degree of color change of 3D Pro Multilayer

For old porcelain teeth, to create variation Depending on the color, technicians will have to apply a layer of Porcelain on the outside, this layer has the role of creating color, translucency and lowering the hardness of the single layer inside. However, this manual application will cause the aesthetics to be imperfect, easily chipping off the reinforced Porcelain layer.

• Regarding translucency: 3D Pro ML is a type of porcelain tooth whose translucency completely matches the enamel - dentin, making this type of porcelain tooth look the most "realistic" among all types of teeth.

The translucency of 3D Pro ML is pre-set in the Multi Zirconia wheel. layers, it is automatically set to achieve a translucency of 57% at the biting edge, gradually decreasing to 32% at the neck of the tooth.

The reason 3D Pro ML has this property is because it is made from multilayer Zirconia block, the layers have different densities of Zirconium oxide molecules, thereby leading to different light effects.

Not only does it match real teeth in natural light environments, Multilayer also matches the light of real teeth in all lighting environments. Brightness.

Advantage 3: Safest for opposing teeth and implants below

3D Pro ML is a type of ceramic tooth with bio-mechanical properties most similar to real teeth, and safest for neighboring structures.

• Does not cause trauma to opposing teeth.

3D Pro ML ceramic teeth have a 5-level variable hardness, this property completely coincides with Real teeth.

Due to the hardness of the biting edge and chewing surface, it is only 650 MPa, equal to real tooth enamel, so when chewing and crushing 3D Pro ML does not cause trauma to the opposing teeth.

On the contrary, other types of teeth have a higher hardness than real teeth. When used, it will cause trauma to the opposing tooth, which can lead to chipped teeth, cracked tooth crowns and roots, and alveolar bone loss. Similar to when we chew an ice cube, it can cause trauma to the opposing tooth leading to chipped teeth, alveolar bone loss, and cracked teeth.

• Does not cause wear on the opposing teeth.

Due to its hardness similar to tooth enamel, and being structured in a network by countless layers of Zirconium oxide arranged on top of each other, 3D Pro ML does not cause wear on the opposing teeth even after chewing for 10 to 15 years (According to research by Paulo Malo 2022).

Meanwhile, other types of porcelain teeth have too high hardness and are made from Porcelain, a material with high hardness but brittle, which will cause erosion of the enamel of the opposing tooth after a period of use, thereby causing sensitivity and cracking of the opposing tooth.

Pre-installed parameters on the multilayer zirconia block used to produce 3D Pro ML: Color, translucency, and hardness gradually decrease from the biting edge to the neck of the tooth.

A type of Zirconia block used to produce all-ceramic teeth with Zirconia core: no preset parameters.

• Shock absorber for implant tooth roots and restoration posts below.

The settlement (settlement, elasticity) of 3D Pro ML reaches 93.7 GPa, a bit higher settlement than real teeth (real teeth are 83 GPa), so it is very suitable for implant teeth.

With elasticity, when chewing force acts on the teeth 3D Pro ML ceramic has the ability to minimize mechanical impact on underlying structures such as implant posts or restoration posts, thereby better protecting these structures from being overloaded with chewing forces.

On real teeth, this protection mechanism is provided by the periodontal ligament and enamel subsidence. However, on implant teeth, because the implant root cannot sink, only porcelain teeth take on this round role, so a higher elasticity is needed.

Currently, only 3D Pro ML is porcelain teeth with elasticity, all other types of porcelain teeth do not have this property. Therefore, 3D Pro ML is a type of porcelain tooth that is extremely suitable for implants.

5th advantage: Best ability to crush and cut food

Due to its high elasticity - stretch (called "toughness"), 3D Ro ML is very difficult to break and wear down in layers, so the anatomical structures of porcelain teeth do not break, leading to loss of ability to chew and cut food after a period of use like other types of ceramic teeth.

6th advantage: Suitable especially for porcelain tooth restoration on implants

As a type of porcelain tooth created to serve dental implants, in addition to the above properties, 3D Pro ML zirconia porcelain wheels also have a large thickness, up to 22mm (while other types only have a maximum thickness of 15mm), suitable for porcelain teeth on implants, which often have a greater thickness than crowns or bridges on real teeth.

In short: 3D Pro ML is the most perfect type of ceramic tooth for dental implants, of course it can be completely chosen. Choosing to cover or make veneers for real teeth, it has only one drawback: high cost. To have a reasonable financial plan before getting dental implants, you can refer to the article "Dental Implant Price List" and compare and make appropriate choices.

However, porcelain teeth can only take full advantage when the implant root is placed in the correct position and the restoration abutment is Customized. If the restoration abutment is not good combined with the tooth root being placed in the wrong position, even using 3D Pro ML will not bring the maximum effect. advantages.
