Zirconia Tips and Tricks

The process of removing milled zirconia units from the disc can introduce fractures in the zirconia units.

Here are a few things to watch for:

1)  Most technicians use high-speed air turbines to remove the zirconia units. This is an efficient process. However, it is important to remember that the carbide bur on the high-speed turbine is not as hard as the zirconia particles. Because of the difference in hardness, bur life is expected to be short. Therefore, replace burs on a regular basis.
