Zirconium oxide ceramics (ZrO2)
IPS e.max® ZirCAD allows dental professionals to produce aesthetic, monolithic zirconia restorations efficiently in the dental practice with the help of efficient speed sintering programs.
Two groups of materials combined into one - this is what makes IPS e.max ZirCAD MT Multi special: translucent 5Y-TZP zirconium oxide provides high translucency for the incisal zone and the more opaque 4Y-TZP zirconium oxide provides high stability in the dentine zone.
In addition, the material features a gradual progession of shade and translucency, consisting of 60% dentin, 20% transition and 20% incisal zone. This distribution reflects the natural progression from dentin to incisal and imparts natural aesthetic appearance to the restorations, even if no characterisations are applied[3].
Processing options:
After the sintering procedure, restorations can be
- Glazed and fired
- Optionally: stained, gazed and fired
- Polished
Types of restorations:
- Crowns
- Three-unit bridges
Benefits:
- High strengths of 1200 MPa (LT[1]) and 850 MPa (MT Multi[2]) allow reduced wall thicknesses and conservative preparation methods.
- Natural progression of shade and translucency deliver true-to-nature aesthetic results in conjunction with MT Multi[3]
- Natural fluorescence can be achieved with IPS e.max CAD Crystall./Glaze Fluo paste[3]
- 10-year guarantee
- Conventional, adhesive or self-adhesive cementation
Block sizes:
- 2 (C17 and B45)
Translucency levels:
- 1 and 1 MT Multi block (MT Multi - Medium Translucency, LT - Low Translucency)
