Innovative and versatile zirconium oxide for cases in which high mechanical stability, thin restoration walls and natural-looking aesthetics are of the essence. Restorations with considerably reduced wall thicknesses can be created as the material provides both high strength, ranging from 850 to 1,200 MPa1, and high fracture toughness. A trade-off in translucency is not required. Finely honed balance between low wall thickness and optimum translucency allows the fabrication of restorations that are tooth preserving and natural looking.
