Ebook: 3M Chairside Zirconia

3M is introducing 3M Chairside Zirconia, a CAD/CAM zirconia block optimized for the fast-sintering CEREC SpeedFire Furnace. The block offers an optimal blend of high strength and esthetics to go along with a fast sintering time of approximately 20 minutes for a thin-walled crown. For easy shade matching, the material is available in 8 different shades and 2 block sizes designed for crowns and 3-unit bridges to match the VITA classical shades. 3M Chairside Zirconia offers a high fl exural strength option of over 800 MPa, and has a fracture toughness that meets stringent ISO standards—giving it ideal strength for singleunit crowns and 3-unit bridges.
