IPS e.max® ZirCAD® Prime is redefining zirconium oxide and eliminating the need to carry multiple zirconia brands. Gradient Technology (GT) combines multiple innovations within one product: special powder conditioning of 3Y-TZP and 5Y-TZP powders that combines strength and esthetics; a seamless shade and translucency gradient without using layers; 2-hour, 26-minute sintering in the Programat S1 1600; and indications ranging from single crowns to 14-unit bridges. The discs are available in 16 A-D and 4 BL shades.

The Grandio disc is VOCO's 86% filled nano-ceramic hybrid CAD/CAM disc, indicated for crowns, inlays/onlays, veneers, and implant-supported crowns. Based on the same nano-ceramic hybrid CAD/CAM technology as VOCO's Grandio blocs, Grandio discs offer the same combination of optimal tooth-like physical properties, category-leading compressive strength, extremely low water absorption, and natural esthetics with enhanced color stability. This provides high-quality solutions for both practices and laboratories looking to streamline their CAD/CAM processes.
