Dentsply Cercon XT ML 14 mm

Description

Dentsply Cercon xt ML is a pre-shaded, extra-translucent multilayer zirconia for aesthetic all-ceramic restorations in anterior and posterior regions. Its integrated shade layers create a natural transition from a more chromatic dentine region to a lighter and more translucent incisal region.

Benefits

Cercon xt ML combines high translucency with sufficient strength for aesthetic crowns and short-span bridges. Its natural shade gradient reduces the need for extensive individual layering and enables lifelike monolithic restorations to be produced using an efficient workflow.

Shade and aesthetics

After sintering, the material’s different shade layers form a smooth transition from the cervical dentine region to the incisal region. Each VITA shade has a specifically adapted incisal shade, contributing to accurate shade reproduction and natural depth within the restoration.

Applications

Suitable for all-ceramic crowns in anterior and posterior regions, as well as 3-unit bridges with one pontic up to the second premolar. The material is particularly useful when high aesthetics and translucency are prioritised, especially in the anterior region.

Processing

The material is supplied in a pre-sintered state and is milled in a dental CAD/CAM system before sintering. The position of the restoration within the disc affects how the shade gradient is distributed between the dentine and incisal regions. After sintering, the restoration can be polished or individually characterised with stains and glaze.
