Zirconia dental material 3D Nature

ZrO2zirconium dioxidefor dental bridges

Overview
YUCERA Zirconia 3D Nature is a multi-layered colored zirconia block engineered to reproduce the natural color, translucency and strength gradients of real teeth. It is designed to deliver exceptional esthetics for anterior restorations while providing sufficient strength in cervical areas for durability.

Key Features
Perfect simulation of natural teeth: 3D Plus Zirconia achieves three-dimensional natural gradient of color, transparency and strength. It closely mimics real teeth in appearance and optical behavior.

Exceptional aesthetics: Translucency gradually decreases from the incisal edge to the cervical area (approximately 57% to 43%), reproducing natural enamel translucency at the incisal edge and providing better masking at the cervical area.

Seamless multi-layer structure: Constructed with multiple stacked and gradient layers to obtain a smooth, natural color transition from incisal to cervical regions.

Multilayer Technology
3D Plus Zirconia is developed on the concept of "Natural as Real Teeth" and expresses color and translucency with layered gradients. The product provides a gradual change in hardness and strength from the incisal edge to the cervical area (reported range ~700–1050 MPa), where lower hardness at the incisal edge helps protect opposing teeth while higher hardness at the cervical area ensures long-lasting durability.

Applications

• Anterior teeth
• Posterior teeth
• Veneers
• Less than 3-unit bridges

Sintering Guidance
Follow the manufacturer standard sintering procedure to achieve optimal results. Typical recommended load examples include: 1–5 UNIT, 6–10 UNIT, 11–14 UNIT. The final sintering outcome is influenced by many factors including scan accuracy, CAD/CAM design, milling, staining and try-in technique.
