Zolid HT+ Preshades – Universal beauty

Zolid HT+ is a highly translu- cent zirconium oxide which combines high mechanical characteristics with out- standing aesthetics. With its extreme edge stability, Zolid HT+ allows delicate margin design when processed with CAD/CAM. Available in 16 VITA classical tooth shades, the processing of Zolid HT+ Preshades guarantees an efficient workflow with maxi- mum colour stability, even for large-span bridges. The range of 16 Zolid HT+ Pre- shade blanks allows achieving all 16 VITA tooth shades with only 7 blanks using the Cera- mill Stain & Glaze Essential Kit and by applying a sophisticat- ed stain technique.

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.
