Zirconia dental material KATANA™ ZIRCONIA BLOCK

for dental restorationsCAD/CAMposterior teeth

The multi-layered KATANA™ Zirconia Block consists of four layers zirconia in graduated shades allowing the chairside fabrication of natural-tooth colored restorations. Eliminating a time-consuming and complex situation of staining the restoration. SPEED PROCESS FOR CEREC 18 Minutes Sintering using the CEREC SpeedFire KATANA™ Zirconia Block, the innovative multi-layered zirconia block*1, can be used with Dentsply Sirona's CEREC system*2. Now the 18 minutes sintering program*3 is developed and installed into CEREC SpeedFire. New sintering technology makes it possible to fabricate full zirconia restoration in approx. 35 minutes. Minimizing wall thickness KATANA™ Zirconia Block delivers better mechanical properties than lithium disilicate glass ceramics. As a result restorations are thinner and more translucent for a more natural-looking, result. PANAVIA CEMENTATION FAMILY Designed for ease of use with Zirconia Zirconia is a non-silica-based ceramic which will not respond to a traditional pretreatment method such as, hydrofluoric acid-etching of the internal surface. Micro-mechanical retention achieved through sandblasting and chemical bonding through adhesion (ex. MDP) are key factors for successful zirconia bonding. PANAVIA™ V5 and PANAVIA™ SA Cement Universal, which both include the MDP adhesive monomer, have high bond strength and durability to zirconia.
