New Sirona Materials Expand Clinical Indications for CEREC
New innovations from Sirona improve anterior
esthetics, implant surgical procedures and introduce high-strength zirconia to
direct, chairside applications for the dentist
CHARLOTTE, N.C. – June 11, 2013
– Sirona
Dental, Inc., the technology leader in the dental industry, announced today the
release of three new high-performance materials that deliver superior
esthetics, enhanced strength and expand the breadth of
CEREC.
The new materials include: 1) chairside millable blocks that mimic the
tooth’s natural internal chromatic dentin layer under a translucent incisal surface
to improve anterior esthetics, 2) a new intraoral scan body that simplifies
implant procedures and eliminates physical impressions and models, and 3) a
high-strength zirconia material ideal for any posterior restorative situation,
including second molars.
Achieve Ultimate Esthetics with CEREC C In Blocs
The interaction between
chromatic dentin and the translucent incisal area in the visible anterior tooth
region has previously been a limiting factor for the use of CAD/CAM systems. With Sirona’s new CEREC C In Blocs, this is
no longer the case.
CEREC C In Blocs consist of
an inner core of highly chromatic dentin-like ceramic covered by a translucent
layer of ceramic that mimics natural enamel. The dentin cores are modeled after
the shape of dentin in natural teeth, while the outer shape of the tooth is
determined by the patented Biogeneric process in the CEREC software
guaranteeing a perfect anatomical fit. Additional software algorithms correctly
and automatically position the restoration in the block, so that the exact
tooth color selected by the user is achieved and an aesthetically-pleasing,
most lifelike restoration is possible.
In-House Implant Restoration Made Easier With ScanPost
The digital workflow for
chairside implant restorative cases has never been easier. With the new
ScanPost, the implant axis is simply and quickly defined with a quick scan from
CEREC AC with Omnicam or CEREC AC with Bluecam. By providing all relevant data about
implant position, ScanPost eliminates the need for a poured model and placement
of implant analogs in the conventional lab process. While screw retained
to the implant, ScanPost stays above the gingival margin, allowing
users to verify that the scan body is fully and properly seated, even in the
most sub gingival placement of implants. This adds even more user confidence in
the chairside process, resulting in easier and reliable intraoral scanning and
predictable outcomes every time. Once the position of the implant is determined
by the CEREC software, the user then completes the implant case in a few simple
steps.

inCoris TZI – High-Strength,
Full Contour Zirconium Oxide Restorations for Chairside Application
Full contour Zirconia is ideal for indications that demand
the perfect combination of high-strength and lifelike, patient-pleasing
esthetics. Thanks to its high degree of translucency, inCoris TZI does not
require any veneering materials, making it a cost-effective substitute for
metal, porcelain fused to metal or two-part all-ceramic crowns. inCoris TZI is
now available for CEREC chairside users.
Benefits of inCoris TZI include:
·
Highly translucent zirconium oxide for full crowns and bridges
·
Less reduction needed in most clinical cases
·
Can be milled with select CEREC® milling units [does this mean MC
XL units? If so, better to simply say “Can be milled with any CEREC MC XL
milling unit”]
·
Approved for speed (90 minute sintering) and superspeed (10 minute
sintering) cycles with inFire HTC speed
All Sirona inFire HTC
speed sintering furnaces can process inCoris TZI within 90 minutes. However,
with the recently launched superspeed process, the inCoris TZI material may be
sintered in just 10 minutes, bringing full contour zirconia into the chairside
workflow for the first time. The inFire unit achieves significantly better
energy efficiency through shorter heating and cooling times and the timer
function allows economical sintering overnight.
“These new products are
designed with our users and their patients in mind,” said Sirona Vice President
of CAD/CAM Roddy MacLeod. “We’re bringing
extraordinary technology to the dentist, continuing our commitment to improve the
patient experience and practice lifestyle.”
