By choosing Dental Direkt, dental professionals bank upon the expertise of Germany’s biggest manufacturer of zirconium oxide for dental use. Dental Direkt’s production processes are the result of extensive research and development, and are advanced continuously. Whether high- strength, high translucent or super translucent, whether industrial precolored (monochrome and polychrome) or for coloring through liquid infiltration – Dental Direkt offers the right material concept for every workflow and every indication.
DD cubeONE® - High Translucent, High Strength Cubic Zirconia
ALL INDICATIONS WITH ONE ZIRCONIA
THE PERFECT BALANCE BETWEEN STRENGTH AND AESTHETICS
Through a newly developed material composition (4Y-TZP) and optimized manufacturing processes, cubeONE® is composed of a unique hybrid micro- structure. The crystal structure has a perfect ratio between cubic and tetragonal zirconium oxide particles.
The defined amount and controlled size of the cubic crystals reduces the refraction index and increases the translucency (aesthetics). The dominant, smaller, tetragonal crystals increase the stability (strength).
cubeONE® defines a class of its own and proves that aesthetics and high fracture resistance can come in the same package.
(Used in conjunction with Dental Direkt shading liquids.)
AGING RESISTANCE
The ability for phase transformation toughening is unique for a high translucent cubic zirconia. The crystalline structure begins to change in such a way that it stops the progress of a crack in the ceramic and closes it again. DD cube ONE® exhibits no signs of aging according in vitro tests.
UNIQUE BREAK PROTECTION FACTOR
DD cubeONE® is the first cubic zirconium oxide with increased break protection factor. High fracture tough- ness and additional phase transformation toughening effect make it unique.
Fracture toughness describes the resistance of a mate- rial against crack growth. The material characteristic value is the critical stress intensity factor KIc and it is no less important for clinical success than the bending strength.
Micro defects on the surface caused by adjustments after sintering can be the origin of a crack. When the KIc is exceeded uncontrolled crack growth occurs and lead to fracture. The higher the fracture toughness the higher the resistance against cracks.
DD cubeX2® ML - Multilayer Cubic Zirconia
AESTHETIC HIGH PERFORMANCE CERAMICS
Based on the “DD cubeX2® – cubic zirconia system®” Ml offers a flowing color gradation from cervical to incisal. The fabrication of aesthetic monolithic crowns and bridges has never been this efficient. The lively chroma and increased translucency in the incisal third meet the highest demands of modern CAD materials.
HIGHLIGHTS:
- Individual color gradients, which would otherwise only be possible with the extensive color-brush technique
- High color reliability due to industrial coloring compared to brush technique
- Reliable color and translucence gradient due to the Multi Additive Technology®
- Resistant to warping during sintering due to individual isostatic pressing of each blank
COLOR WITH CONCEPT
Ml guarantees colors according to VITA® and an over- lapping, continuous color gradient. The chroma is reduced and significantly brightened in the incisal area. The production process and quality assurance in our transparent production are characterized by a high level of automation. Close tolerances and sensitive measuring technology ensure a precise reproducibility of the color layers from batch to batch.
As a result you be assured that the desired color gradient as planned in CAD/CAM nesting is achieved after milling and sintering. The height of incisal and lower dentine layers are designed for a flexible variation of color intensity.
FIXED INCISAL CONCEPT
A greater differentiation of layers in the nesting software and a simple layer concept make it easy to define the nesting position in the blank. Every blank height has a 3.5 mm incisal zone, so that only the thickness of the body zone increases with higher blank heights.
