We have surpassed cubic zirconia in the desire for a strong, but highly translucent zirconium oxide. Nacera®’s Blue X, applied to Nacera® Pearl 3Y-TZP zirconia, exceeds the aesthetic properties of lithium disilicate by allowing technicians to brush into place the right amount of translucency only where desired. The translucency will increase up to 5 % on Nacera® zirconia. The advantages continue with improvements in strength. Nacera® Pearl zirconia treated with Blue X has still a flexural strength of 1,200 MPa, almost double cubic zirconia, and up to 3x that of lithium disilicate!
Blue X is especially developed for Nacera® Shaded zirconia. It will lower the chroma when applied to incisal or occlusal areas and generates a lifelike colour transition – for a brushed multilayer effect! The concept realized by „Blue X“ is a world first — made in Germany by DOCERAM Medical Ceramics.
