What is the denture made of?

Traditional dentures use zirconia ceramics, while new dentures use zirconia-resin bionic composite denture materials. The hardness and modulus of traditional zirconia ceramic denture are much higher than those of human teeth. When people install this denture, it will obviously accelerate the wear of the mandible and the normal teeth in contact with both sides.

However, in the molar experiment, the friction coefficient of the new denture material is lower than that of zirconia ceramics, which can significantly reduce the wear of denture to normal teeth.

Extended data:

Compared with zirconia all-ceramic teeth, new denture materials are easier to process, especially through computer-aided design and manufacturing, which can be made for patients in hospitals, changing the existing zirconia all-ceramic dentures from being processed and produced only in a "private order" way, thus realizing batch supply, greatly reducing the cost of denture preparation and processing and shortening the waiting time of patients.

The new bionic composite denture material is expected to replace the widely used zirconia all-ceramic denture, which can significantly improve the use effect of denture and prolong its service life, and has considerable application prospects and market potential.
