Engineered for layering on zirconia substructures in fixed dental prostheses, Zircon is a cutting-edge low-fusing veneering porcelain. It rises to the challenges of contemporary restorative dentistry by giving dental technicians the ability to produce restorations with remarkable lifelikeness, durability, and chipping resistance over high-strength zirconia. From individual crowns to extended bridges, Zircon consistently delivers precise shade reproduction together with the fluorescence and opalescence found in natural dentition.
Key Features
Optimized CTE Compatibility - Precisely matched coefficient of thermal expansion to mainstream yttria-stabilized zirconia, minimizing residual stresses and significantly reducing the risk of delamination or chipping.
Superior Esthetics - Advanced leucite-free formulation provides natural light transmission, lifelike translucency, and a smooth surface finish after glazing. The powder system includes a full range of Vita® classical and 3D-Master shades with dedicated enamel, dentin, incisal, transparent, and effect powders.
Excellent Handling & Layering - Engineered for smooth, creamy mixing and easy build-up; the ceramic particles exhibit optimal wettability, allowing fast condensation and precise anatomical sculpturing without slumping or drying out.
Low Wear on Antagonists - Exhibits enamel-like wear behavior, preserving opposing natural teeth while maintaining high cohesive strength.
Excellent Bond Strength - Special adhesion-promoting components in the wash/liner pastes ensure a robust chemical-mechanical bond to zirconia, even in areas of high occlusal stress.
Broad Processing Window - Reliable firing stability with a wide temperature range minimizes processing errors and ensures consistent results across different furnace brands.
Summary
Zircon combines superior bond strength, dependable processing, and outstanding esthetic capability in one integrated porcelain system. It is the perfect solution for dental laboratories that aim to produce strong, natural-looking zirconia restorations using a consistent and time-efficient layering workflow.
