Prettau® 2
Particularly translucent and bend resistant zirconia – available soon!
Zirconia materials differ in terms of translucency and strength. In addition to the aesthetic features, the level of flexural strength is key for the fabrication of a full arch restoration from a functional point of view. The Prettau® 2 zirconia combines extraordinary flexural strength with excellent translucency.
In addition, the manual colouring technique with Colour Liquid Prettau® 2 Aquarell allows a colour scheme that is exactly matched to the patient’s needs.
The excellent aesthetic properties of the material allow the monolithic design of the restorations. This prevents ceramic chipping. With Prettau® 2 structures from single crowns to full arch bridges, it is therefore possible to offer patients bio-compatible, highly individual and very stable dental restorations.
Properties at a glance:
- Biocompatible zirconia with excellent flexural strength and a particularly high translucency
- No limitations! Especially suitable for full arch restorations (fully anatomical or reduced with ceramics), but also for single crowns, inlays, onlays, veneers, bars and multi-unit bridges
- Can be characterised individually for each patient with Colour Liquids Prettau® 2 Aquarell, ICE Zirkon Ceramics and ICE Zirkon 3D Stains by Enrico Steger
- No ceramic chipping (thanks to the fully anatomical design)
- No abrasion to the antagonist
Processing:
- CAM-dry processing
- Manual elaboration
- Further individualisation with Colour Liquids Prettau® 2 Aquarell
- Sintering (1600 °C)
- Ceramic layering with ICE Zirkon Ceramics (optional)
- Staining with ICE Zirkon Stains Prettau® or ICE Zirkon 3D Stains by Enrico Steger
- Glaze with 3D Glaze Base, Glaze Plus or NEW: Glaze Fluo
- High gloss polishing
- Insertion: Cementation or screwing (with titanium bases)
