IPS e.max® ZirCAD Prime block

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 minimize the wall thickness of crowns to 0.8 mm. Highly esthetic Achieve natural-looking and esthetic results due to the smooth progression of shade and translucency from the dentin (3Y-TZP zirconia material) to the translucent incisal area (5Y-PSZ zirconia material). Easy cementation Place the restorations with a self-adhesive cement, e.g. Multilink® Speed; or use a conventional or adhesive cementation protocol instead. Speed-sintering zirconia: Your solution for single-visit treatments A block that combines esthetics 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 esthetical results without extensive customization. Individual. Natural. Esthetic.
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. Various possibilities for maximum flexibility 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 characterized 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 optimized for efficiency in the dental practice, crowns fabricated with IPS e.max® ZirCAD Prime can still meet high esthetic demands.[6] Photos: Dr. Ming Hu, Ivoclar, Schaan Scientific facts that convince A high flexural strength is essential for robust restorations. IPS e.max ZirCAD Prime blocks combine a high flexural strength of 1,100 MPa[2] with natural-looking results, meeting the highest standards. Broaden your knowledge about zirconium oxide in dentistry and sintering technology by consulting our scientific report, containing various study results from international authors. Increased speed and performance in the CAD/CAM chairside workflow Synergy at its best: Two materials. One furnace. Maximum quality. In just a few minutes, IPS e.max® ZirCAD Prime blocks and IPS e.max® CAD restorations are speed-sintered or -crystallized in our combination furnace Programat® CS6. Faster than ever before. Thanks to the integrated vacuum technology, this versatile machine brings out the best in the esthetic and mechanical properties of both materials, and reliably takes care of the glazing process as well.
