 New Dental Product: CEREC MTL Zirconia From Dentsply Sirona

Dentsply Sirona recently introduced CEREC MTL Zirconia, an esthetic, high-strength zirconia CAD/CAM block that’s the result of a partnership with VITA Zahnfabrik.

The CAD/CAM block is a zirconium oxide enriched with yttrium oxide, according to a press release.

It features color technology known as MTL (multi transitional layer) that consists of a multilayer color gradient, resulting in natural esthetics without sacrificing strength. This makes the block well suited for bridges and crowns as well as for inlays, onlays and veneers.

The color transition improves esthetics while the 3-point flexural strength of more than 850 MPa helps ensure high strength, enabling minimally invasive crown preparation with a wall thickness as low as 0.6 mm. This strength and wall thickness allows for anatomically designed posterior restorations and gives clinicians more flexibility in the CEREC workflow.

The block is fast and easy to process, with restorations completed in one visit. Crowns can be milled in as little as 5 minutes with CEREC Primemill’s super fast mode. Sintering in CEREC SpeedFire takes 18 to 21 minutes. Optional glaze firing can be completed in about 9 minutes.

The addition of CEREC MTL Zirconia rounds off the company’s CAD/CAM block portfolio of glass-ceramic and zirconia blocks with an esthetic zirconium oxide.

While VITA designed and produces the MTL zirconium oxide block, Dentsply Sirona with Degudent GmbH, Hanau, will be responsible for the exclusive global distribution.
