Zirkonzahn’s Prettau® zirconia line
-
Prettau® 2 and Prettau® 2 Dispersive® are highly translucent zirconia typologies with excellent flexural
strength. Furthermore, their outstanding aesthetic properties allow the design
of monolithic restorations, preventing the risk of ceramic chipping. With
Prettau® 2 and Prettau® 2 Dispersive®, it is
therefore possible to provide patients with biocompatible, individual and
highly stable dental restorations, from single crowns to full arches. Compared
to Prettau® 2, the Dispersive® typology is already
provided with a slight natural colour gradient during the production process.
-
With the new Prettau® 3 Dispersive®
zirconia, the concept of Gradual-Triplex-Technology was introduced: in
addition to the colouring, also translucency and flexural strength levels
change. In this way, while the incisally increasing translucency results in a
highly translucent incisal edge, the cervically increasing flexural strength
leads to an extremely high flexural strength at the tooth neck. Prettau®
3 Dispersive® is particularly suitable for monolithically designed
restorations and can be used for the fabrication of single crowns up to
bar-supported multi-unit bridges.
-
Prettau® 4 Anterior® and Prettau® 4
Anterior® Dispersive® have
been specially designed for the anterior region and are therefore characterised
by a particularly high translucency. However, both materials are also perfectly
suited for the posterior region. The Dispersive® version features a
natural colour gradient evenly distributed throughout the material for a
dispersive effect. These two types of zirconia are suitable for the production
of single crowns, inlays, onlays, veneers and three-unit bridges.
For a final result which matches with the
colour of the patient's natural teeth, special shade guides were developed: Zirkonzahn
Shade Guides are composed of monolithic zirconia sample teeth in the shape of
premolars, upper and lower incisors, and they are available in Prettau® 2
Dispersive®, Prettau® 3 Dispersive® and Prettau® 4 Anterior® Dispersive®
zirconia.
