Zirconium oxide ceramic (ZrO2)
IPS e.max® ZirCAD Prime for CEREC®/inLab® is a zirconium oxide block designed for the fabrication of fixed, full-contour restorations in the anterior and posterior regions. IPS e.max ZirCAD Prime enables the production of high-strength zirconium oxide restorations (1100 MPa[1]), which can be speed-sintered[2] faster than ever in a sintering furnace such as the Programat CS6 or CEREC SpeedFire – without compromising on quality or aesthetics.
IPS e.max ZirCAD Prime restorations can be efficiently cemented conventionally with self-adhesive cement (e.g. Speedcem® Plus) or adhesively (e.g. Variolink® Esthetic).
The perfectly coordinated Ivoclar products support daily practice by enabling an even more efficient and streamlined chairside workflow, allowing IPS e.max ZirCAD Prime restorations to be fabricated in a single session.
Versatile processing options:
Before sintering:
- Polishing with OptraGloss® Extra Oral
After sintering:
- Polishing with OptraGloss Extra Oral, OptraGloss
- Glazing with IPS e.max CAD Crystall./Glaze Paste Fluo
- Characterisation with IPS e.max CAD Crystall./ materials
Types of restorations:
Crowns
Benefits:
- Fast: Speed-sintering of restorations in just 15 minutes[1] – without compromising aesthetics
- High-strength: With a strength of 1,100 MPa[2], wall thicknesses for crowns can be reduced to 0.8mm
- Aesthetic: Natural progression of shade and translucency from dentine (3Y-TZP raw material) to the translucent incisal area (5Y-PSZ raw material)
- Flexible: Easy and quick conventional cementation with self-adhesive and adhesive cementation
Available block:
- C17 for single-tooth restorations
Shade overview:
- Available in 11 shades: BL1, BL3, 0, A1, A2, A3, A3,5 , B1, B2, C2, D2
- All 11 shades are included from CEREC Software version 5.2.10 onward.
