Zirconia bridges offer excellent aesthetics thanks to their translucency. Their strength is comparable to metal-ceramic (1000+ MPa). There is no risk of metal allergies or dark margins. The monolithic design (no porcelain on metal) prevents chipping. The costs are higher (20-30%) than traditional metal-ceramic. Suitable for patients with gum recession (no visible metal). Digital CAD/CAM fabrication guarantees a perfect fit. Low maintenance thanks to a smooth surface that resists plaque. Disadvantage: harder to repair if it fractures. A popular choice for the front of the mouth, where aesthetics are crucial.
