AG Ceramill Zolid FX Preshades

Ultra highly translucent zirconium oxide for cutback restorations with natural colour shading

Ceramill Zolid FX Preshades are uniformly stained, ultra-translucent blanks that enable economical and aesthetic dental restorations without the need for additional staining prior to sintering. They’re perfect for reduced frameworks using the Ceramill Mindform Cutback Library and are suitable for monolithic restorations and 3-pontic bridges. The blanks come in six shades (A-D tooth shades) and align with the VITA classical shade guide. They’re available in dental arch form and round blanks, combining economic benefits and excellent translucency. They ensure high process safety, simplified workflows, and cost-effective processing. Further customization for a more aesthetic result can be done with Ceramill Stain & Glaze Kits.

Magnification factor

Magnification Factor

To compensate for volume shrinkage during the sintering process, Ceramill restorations made of zirconium oxide and Sintron are always fabricated with a certain allowance. This is defined by entering the so-called magnification factor in the CAM software.

There are various CAM software systems on the market, all of which require different values to be entered. To meet the various requirements, the Ceramill blanks are marked with the following three specifications for the magnification factor:

Sintering of Zolid restoration

Sintering of Zolid restoration

Sintering of zirconium oxide is one of the most important process steps in the fabrication of dental restorations.

The porous white body condenses under the influence of high temperatures and the blank achieves its final mechanical (strength) and optical (translucency) properties. The standardized as well as material friendly sintering temperature of 1450 °C ensures economical processes. This allows ZI, Zolid, Zolid HT+ or Zolid FX to be sintered together in a single furnace run.

Optimum results are achieved with the Ceramill Therm and Therm S high-temperature furnaces from Amann Girrbach. These are fully matched to the Zolid portfolio and thus achieve the best possible material properties.
