Trends in Chairside Restoration Materials Evolution from Zirconia to Lithium Disilicate

Chairside restorations are advancing, with zirconia and lithium disilicate leading the way. These materials are enabling same-day dentistry in 2025.

Zirconia’s high-translucency variants enhance posterior crown aesthetics, while its durability ensures longevity [1]. Lithium disilicate offers 20% better light diffusion, perfect for anterior cases [1]. Chairside CAD/CAM systems process both in under an hour, streamlining workflows.
