What’s in your patient’s mouth?
When you are about to make a purchase, do you ever ask yourself, “Is this American made?” That question is not as simple as a matter of national pride. When factors such as safety, economic security and health are weighed in, the gravity of that question becomes more apparent. Aside from supply chain security, when you buy domestically manufactured goods, you can be rest assured in what materials are being used to fabricate them. Other countries do not adhere to the...

CUSP-TIP: Crown Adjustment
If you need to shorten a crown, you may do so using a high-speed with a fine, zirconia specific diamond, holding the bur at a 45 degree angle to the crown's margin. While adjusting, you must use copious amounts of water, as excessive heat can cause microfractures in the zirconia. You should adjust on the incisal/occlusal surface or crown walls, as that can cause weak areas in the crown. Want to get your hands on an adjustment kit of your own? Click...

CUSP-TIP: CLEANING AFTER TRY-INS
One of the most common questions we are asked by new customers is “After intra-oral try-ins, how do you clean Zirconia Kinder Krowns®?” For years our customers have simply been cleaning the intaglio with water spray to remove blood and debris. If they find dried blood that’s not easily removed, they use a cotton swab with alcohol to clean it. The mechanical retention eliminates the need for a second set of crowns that are only to be used for try-ins. If...

Vital aspects of your preparation.
Once you’ve selected your crown, it’s time for tooth reduction. With Zirconia Kinder Krowns®, we recommend reducing 1-1/5mm of tooth structure, followed by feathering your margins. When prepping for an SSC, you typically do not remove much, if any tooth structure on the buccal and lingual surface of the tooth. When prepping circumferentially, keep your bur parallel to the tooth. It’s very common for us to see over prepared occlusal/incisal surface and under reduced margins. Next, try-in your crown. If it fits passively...
