Ceramics and Prosthetics
Aidite
Aidite is a dental materials manufacturer founded in 2007 in Qinhuangdao, China. The company specialises in zirconia ceramics and digital dentistry, producing the multilayer zirconia discs used for crowns and bridges, along with glass ceramics and CAD/CAM milling equipment. Its materials carry the CE mark and FDA clearance, and dental laboratories in more than 100 countries work with them.
Use at the clinic
Aidite's multilayer zirconia is one of the materials used for crowns, bridges and full ceramic restorations. Two things make it a practical choice: the shade gradient built into each disc blends naturally with your own teeth, and the material fits smoothly into a digital design and milling workflow. Which disc is used depends on the position of the tooth and on your bite.
Strengths
Natural shade transition
Aidite's 3D Pro Zir line has a gradual colour shift built into each disc, from a lighter biting edge to a warmer gum area. This helps your crown blend in with the teeth next to it.
Suitable for many treatments
The same material family covers everything from a single crown to a multi-unit bridge. Your dentist picks the option with the right strength and translucency for your case.
Metal-free
Zirconia crowns have no metal core, so no grey line appears at the gum over time. It is also a practical choice if you prefer to avoid metal alloys in your mouth.
Established certifications
Aidite's zirconia carries the CE mark and has held FDA clearance for the US market since 2010. These certifications show the material meets recognised international manufacturing standards.
Points to consider
Translucency has limits
Zirconia is a strong material, but it does not transmit light exactly the way natural enamel does. If you have very high aesthetic expectations for front teeth, your dentist may suggest a glass ceramic instead.
Tooth preparation is needed
As with any crown, your tooth needs to be reshaped slightly so the zirconia crown can fit. This step cannot be reversed, so your dentist will first check whether a crown is the right choice for you.
Repairs back home
Not every laboratory in every country works with Aidite. If your crown ever needs attention years later, your local dentist may use a different but compatible ceramic brand for the repair.
