Restorative Materials

HSZ = High Strength Zirconia

• Manufacturer: Argen HT Multi ZR+

• Strength: 1200 Mpa

• Uses:  -Single units where stump shade needs blocked out (Shade 2X darker than restorative shade)

• Multiple units and bridgework over 3

• Highly esthetic for multiple unit bridgework, implant or otherwise

• Not recommended use:  None

Plus Zirconia’s

· HTZ+ = High Translucent Zirconia+

o Manufacturer: Ivoclar Emax Zircad MT Multi

o Strength: 700 Mpa

o Uses:  -Single units where stump shade is not an issue (not more than

one shade different than restorative shade)

-3-unit bridges (single pontic) joint size 7-9 mm

-Highly esthetic, has more incisal translucency

-Will match Emax lithium disilicate (Veneers)

o Not recommended use:  -Bridges greater than 3 unit or small joint size

-Implants abutment There will be show through unless more than 1.5 mm thick.

· HSZ+ = High Strength Translucent Zirconia+

o Manufacturer: Ivoclar Emax Zircad Prime

o Strength: 1200 Mpa

o Uses:  -Single units where stump shade needs blocked out (Shade 2X

darker than restorative shade)

-Multiple units and bridgework over 3

-Highly esthetic for multiple unit bridgework, implant or otherwise

o Not recommended use: None

o Downsides:

§ Can be too translucent at incisal 1/3. Watch closely how aligned in puck to avoid low value from too much incisal.

§ Avoid placing joints too high up in the puck. Incisal is only 650 MPa.

o Manufacturer: Aidite Pro

o Strength: 1200 Mpa

o Uses:  -Single units where stump shade needs blocked out (Shade 2X

darker than restorative shade)

-Multiple units and bridgework over 3

o Not recommended use:  -None

o Downsides:

· Thin crowns may need pre-shaded to match pontics

· Avoid placing joints too high up in the puck.
