(Regular Zirconia)

This type of zirconia has very high flexural strength of approx 1200 MPa. Suitable for single crown or multi unit bridges where you need the max strength with the esthetic result of ceramic restorations. Can be used for both porcelain layered zirconia or monolithic zirconia.

(Translucent Zirconia)

This type of zirconia has a lot more translucent than regular zirconia. Comes in multi layered incisal, body and cervical, so you can maximize the esthetic even in monolithic crowns. The flexural strngth is approx 1200 MPa  and can be used for multi unit bridges.
