Sun Dental Labs, a full-service dental laboratory, has introduced a new multilayer, high-translucency full zirconia line, SunCeram.

SunCeram offers the following features:

• Multilayer with shade transitions similar to natural tooth enamel
• 1.4 times more translucency than conventional zirconia
• Completely chip-resistant (solid zirconia)
• Perfect marginal fit

SunCeram’s new multilayer, high-translucency zirconia offers the advantage of being very similar in optical properties to a natural human tooth. The internal shade layering of the zirconia pucks creates color intensity (chroma) with higher translucency toward the incisal. This distinctly sets it apart from the monolithic zirconia currently available in the marketplace.

Anterior Zirconia

This highly esthetic restoration material is designed specifically to satisfy the esthetic and functional requirements of the anterior region of the mouth. Anterior zirconia exhibits an average flexural strength of 615 MPa with high-translucency and multilayer shade transition similar to natural tooth enamel. SunCeram Anterior Zirconia is indicated for single crowns, veneers, implant restorations, and bridges up to three units.

Posterior Zirconia

The chip-proof durability and flexural strength of 1200 MPa make SunCeram multilayer zirconia ideal for bruxers who have broken natural teeth or previous porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) restorations. It is an esthetic alternative to PFM occlusal/lingual or full-cast restorations. SunCeram Posterior Zirconia is indicated for single crowns, inlays and onlays, implant restorations, and bridges up to three units.
