Dentsply Cercon HT 12 mm

Description

Dentsply Cercon HT is a high-translucency, pre-sintered zirconia for the fabrication of durable all-ceramic restorations. The material combines high flexural strength with reliable shade reproduction and can be used for both monolithic restorations and frameworks intended for ceramic veneering.

Product facts

• Applications: Anterior and posterior restorations
• Indications: Crowns, telescopic primary crowns, multi-unit bridges and two-piece abutments
• Restoration options: Monolithic or ceramic-veneered
• Sintering temperature: 1,500°C

Benefits

The high flexural strength provides a broad range of indications and makes the material suitable for both single restorations and bridge constructions. Its combination of strength, translucency and shade accuracy supports functional and aesthetic restorations in both anterior and posterior regions.

Shade and aesthetics

Cercon HT is developed with True Color Technology for reliable reproduction of classic tooth shades. As the material is homogeneous, the disc has consistent material properties and shade throughout its thickness, unlike Cercon HT ML, which contains several integrated layers.

Applications

Suitable for crowns, telescopic primary crowns and multi-unit bridges in anterior and posterior regions. Bridge constructions may include no more than two pontics between the abutment crowns. The material can also be used for two-piece abutment constructions where permitted by local instructions.

Processing

The material is supplied in a pre-sintered state and is milled in a dental CAD/CAM system before sintering. After sintering, the restoration can be finished monolithically by polishing, staining and glazing or used as a framework for veneering with a compatible ceramic.
