Fast sintering time of approximately 20 minutes for single crowns allows for a more efficient single-visit appointment. The use of full-contour zirconia has gained large acceptance and is used in a wide range of applications in dental treatment today. The dry milling of the crown and then sintering in the Cerec SpeedFire takes about 24 minutes. Today, the material options are moving fast and rumors abound regarding newer multilayered zirconias I review the four current zirconia blocks and their characteristics. The Cerec Zirconia Meso Block is made of translucent, pre-shaded zirconia. 3M™ Chairside Zirconia can also be fast fired in other high temperature sintering furnaces, including the Programat ® CS4. The CEREC Zirconia Meso Block is a new product that combines the outstanding properties of zirconia with an efficient clinical protocol: The translucent zirconia boasts exceptional strength and biocompatibility, while the screw-retained solution offers the advantage of not having to use cement between the abutment and the crown, which could. 3M Chairside Zirconia, a new CAD/CAM zirconia block for the CEREC SpeedFire furnace, offers a well-balanced, high strength, esthetic option for single-unit crowns and 3-unit bridges. Chairside zirconia is on the MOVE Just think where it was a couple of years ago We didn’t have options on materials. 3M™ Chairside Zirconia is a new CAD/CAM zirconia block offers a well-balanced, high strength, aesthetic option for single-unit crowns and 3-unit bridges.įast sintering time of approximately 20 minutes for a thin walled crown 1,2 in the CEREC ® SpeedFire furnace allows for a more efficient single visit appointment.
