Productive: A simple glaze firing is all that is needed, but should further characterization be desired, any processing technique can be used.
Robust: 1200 MPa of flexural strength and >5 MPa m1/2 of fracture toughness.
Innovative: IPS e.max ZirCAD Prime is created through a new, unique manufacturing process called gradient technology (GT).
Multiple indications: IPS e.max ZirCAD Prime covers a wide array of indications, from single-unit crowns to 14-unit bridges.
Esthetics: The next generation of all-ceramic material, IPS e.max ZirCAD Prime offers esthetics comparable to glass-ceramics.
IPS e.max® ZirCAD® Prime is produced using gradient technology, a new, unique manufacturing process that uses special powder conditioning to combine 3Y and 5Y oxide ceramics for the ultimate in strength and esthetics. Unlike multi-layered materials on the market that can have visible layers of color, unique gradient technology offers a seamless progression of shade and translucency to provide premium esthetics combined with exceptional strength.
Details:
• 2-hour, 26-minute sintering in the Programat S1 1600
• Discs available in 16 A-D and 4 BL shades and 16-mm and 20-mm thicknesses
• "One-Disc Solution" optimizes production and inventory by eliminating the need to carry multiple material types for esthetic or high-strength ceramic cases
