Zirconia, also called zirconium dioxide, is a zirconium white crystalline oxide. It is synthesized in various colors and is widely used ceramic oxide. Zirconia is preferred, as the dental material, as it is chemically unreactive. Zirconia dental products have many features such as natural and white color, high fracture toughness, high hardness, and resistance to wear. Zirconia is used in tooth crowns to complete the restoration of missing teeth and strengthen the weak teeth and prevent it from further decay. In addition, it is used to cover a spoiled tooth or fill a gap entirely. Zirconia substrates can be made into fine particles with a laser milling machine; the substrates fit better and are less labor-intensive than any metal-porcelain or all-porcelain solution, providing a superior product in less time at a lower cost.

IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON ZIRCONIA DENTAL PRODUCT MARKET
COVID-19 first began in Wuhan (China) during December 2019, and since then, it has spread at a fast pace across the globe. The US, India, Brazil, Russia, France, UK, Turkey, Italy, and Spain are some of the worst affected countries in terms of confirmed cases and reported deaths. The COVID-19 has been affecting economies and industries in various countries due to lockdowns, travel bans, and business shutdowns. The market for zirconia dental products experienced a decline in its revenue as dental clinics across the country have been shut either voluntarily or by governmental orders of sheltering at homes. Wages and clinic rents have to be accounted for every month even if there have been no revenues, causing a huge socio-economic impact. In addition, access to dental services has been severely impacted by COVID-19, such as delayed dental care, cancellation or postponed appointments, reluctance to seek care, loss of employer-sponsored dental insurance coverage, reduced capacity upon reopening, and public reluctance to visit the dentist, all contributed to a significant drop in income. In contrast, costs associated with infection control have increased, and the patients' flow was drastically affected, with few patients reporting only for urgent dental care. Furthermore, the transmission of COVID-19 via infected individuals who are pre-symptomatic or asymptomatic was possible, as the dentist has to come near the patient's mouth and throat to treat them; and all this contribute to the high risk for dental personnel becoming exposed and transmitting the virus to other patients or staff. Whereas now, the market for zirconia dental products is projected to grow at a steady rate. The growth of the dentistry industry is majorly due to the companies rearranging their operations and recovering from the COVID-19 impact, which had earlier led to restrictive containment measures involving social distancing, remote working, and the closure of commercial activities that resulted in an operational challenge.
