PFZ Advantages

1. Superior Aesthetics
The porcelain overlay provides natural translucency, eliminating unsightly dark lines at the gumline.
2. High Strength
The zirconia core ensures the crown can withstand high-biting forces, making it suitable for posterior restorations.
3. Biocompatibility
Zirconia is hypoallergenic, reducing the risk of allergic reactions or sensitivity.
4. Versatile Application
PFZ crowns are ideal for anterior and posterior teeth, offering both strength and beauty in one restoration.
5. Potential Risks
While highly durable, the porcelain overlay can chip or fracture under extreme stress or for patients with bruxism. For such cases, consider recommending full zirconia crowns for added durability.
