KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• Zirconia forms the ideal basis for all-ceramic restorations, because this material has outstanding properties that hardly any other material can match.
• This zirconium oxide assures 100% shade results according to the VITA shade guide.
• The sintering temperature has a massive impact on tooth shade and the shade gradient of multilayer zirconia.

Compared to other dental ceramic materials, zirconium oxide is the absolute leader in terms of mechanical properties. In addition, its white, tooth-like basic shade makes this material the perfect basis for highly esthetic, all-ceramic dentures. And zirconium oxide offers excellent biocompatibility.

The Zolid DNA Generation by Amann Girrbach offers different types of zirconia materials to meet all possible requirements—from fabricating a monolithic anterior restoration to large structures with gingival components.

What makes this zirconia so suited for the CAD/CAM-based production of high-quality and esthetic restorations? Part 2 of this eBook explores the esthetic properties and indications of the Zolid DNA Generation comprehensive all-ceramic product portfolio of zirconia blanks, and how they benefit your laboratory’s products.
