A unique combination of translucency and strength
Benefits
Considerations
- Higher translucency for greater aesthetics
- Stronger than IPS e.max®
- Better aesthetics than conventional zirconia yet still monolithic
- Suitable for anterior crowns where good aesthetics are needed, posterior crowns, inlay/onlays, cement-retained implants and 3 unit bridges (1 pontic).
- Multi-layered blocks for natural colour and translucency gradations.
- Need to consider underlying stump shades before prescribing.
UZir Ultra Translucent is a new formula of zirconia, offering a unique combination of translucency and strength.
This product is a breakthrough given that traditionally zirconia is considered a strong but opaque material with questionable aesthetics in anterior regions.
The strength of UZir is higher than more translucent alternatives and so it addresses the market in between glass ceramics and the more opaque crystalline zirconias. Multi-layered blocks are also a feature that will enhance the aesthetics.
WHY UZir?
Its enhanced translucency and strength allow greater flexibility to create a natural and highly aesthetic result. Suitable for various applications, UZir is an excellent choice for any metal-free cases where natural looking outcomes are desired.
Note: The shades of the underlying stump and cement need to be considered as any discolouration may affect the final shade of the restoration.
