Speed sinter in just 15 minutes[1]

A masterpiece for greater efficiency: IPS e.max® ZirCAD Prime blocks empower you to reach the next level of speed, strength and aesthetics in the production of monolithic zirconia crowns. Faster than ever before: Sinter crowns in just 15 minutes with the Ivoclar Programat® CS6 and achieve reliable and aesthetic results without any loss of strength.[1]

Even faster. Even stronger.

Speed sintering

Quickly sinter your restorations in just 15 minutes using a sintering furnace such as the Programat CS6[1].

High strength 

Robust and enduring: Flexural strength of 1,100 MPa[2] allows you to minimise the wall thickness of crowns to 0.8mm.

Highly aesthetic 

Achieve natural-looking and aesthetic results due to the smooth progression of shade and translucency from the dentine (3Y-TZP zirconia material) to the translucent incisal area (5Y-PSZ zirconia material).

Easy cementation

Place the restorations with a conventional cement, e.g. ZirCAD® Cement; or use a self-adhesive or adhesive cementation protocol instead.

Speed-sintering zirconia: Your solution for single-visit treatments

A block that combines aesthetics and versatility

Inspired by nature, developed for your needs

The block is composed of multiple layers made from various raw materials. For the dentin region, 3Y-TZP zirconia is used, which provides high strength and fracture toughness. To achieve maximum translucency in the incisal area, 5Y-PSZ is employed. A natural gradient of color and translucency between these layers is achieved with a transitional layer. This composition allows you to produce restorations that meet high mechanical standards while also achieving highly aesthetical results without extensive customisation.

Individual. Natural. Aesthetic.
Shade selection – block C17

Create single visit restorations that meet your patients' needs. Choose from a variety of shades for zirconia crown restorations: BL1, BL3, 0*, A1, A2, A3, A3.5, B1, B2, C2, D2.


* Shade "0" is comparable to shade A1 but with less colour. Its chroma is between that of shade A1 and BL3.

Clinical case

The initial situation shows a lower first molar (46) with extensive build-up, which was prepared for a crown restoration. The crown was precisely milled from an IPS e.max® ZirCAD Prime A2 block and speed-sintered in just 15 minutes in the Programat® CS6. Before insertion, the restoration was polished to a high shine in less than 5 minutes using the OptraGloss® Extra Oral Pre-Polisher (PP) with the dark blue Spiral Wheel. Finally, the crown was characterised with IPS e.max CAD Crystall./Shades and IPS e.max CAD Crystall./Stains and glazed with IPS e.max Crystall./Glaze Paste Fluo. Although the workflow is optimised for efficiency in the dental practice, crowns fabricated with  IPS e.max® ZirCAD Prime can still meet high aesthetic demands.[6]
