Description
IPS e.max ZirCAD Prime is a multilayer CAD/CAM zirconia restorative system for monolithic and anatomically reduced crowns and multi-unit bridges. It features a natural shade and translucency progression from dentin to a translucent incisal zone and delivers high strength (1,100 MPa) and fracture toughness (4.5 KIC), enabling conservative restorations with wall thicknesses as low as 0.8 mm. ZirCAD Prime supports speed sintering in as little as 15 minutes in the Programat CS6 or 16 minutes* in the CEREC SpeedFire, allowing efficient same-day workflows, and offers cementation flexibility using conventional, self-adhesive, or adhesive protocols.
*A new 11-minute superspeed sintering is now available in CEREC SpeedFire, SW V. 5.3.3
Unique Attributes
- Speed sintering in both the Programat CS6 and Cerec Speedfire
- Progressive shade and translucency from 3Y to 5Y for improved esthetics
- 11 shades, including 3 levels of bleach shades
Clinical Tips from Evaluators
- Place the sprue on the thicker part of the crown to avoid fracture in the mill.
- The polish in the unsintered state makes a huge difference in the outcome of the final restoration.
- The shade will vary depending on the prep so choose a little darker for thick walls and a little lighter for thinner walls.
- Follow the polishing instructions.
Indications
- Single-unit crowns (anterior and posterior)
- Monolithic restorations
- Anatomically reduced restorations for veneering, staining, or glazing
