Layers ahead of the rest
As the original pioneer of zirconium oxide, we spent more time than anyone else on development to create the different layers in our multilayer product to present an ideal gradient for perfect aesthetics in the final restoration.
Cercon xt ML is an extra translucent zirconia. The blanks consist of different shade layers, which establish an ideal natural color gradient in the sintered restoration for optimal aesthetics in the dental restoration. Cercon xt ML improves productivity and achieves very natural esthetics.
Benefits
Why choose Cercon xt ML?
Lifelike Gradient
Matching natural tooth aesthetics without the need to veneer or stain, especially for the anterior region (flexural strength: 750 MPa)
Easy to use
Easy to nest and same milling and firing protocols for all Cercon zirconia discs
Approved Color Accuracy¹
Excellent color matching for all 16 VITA®2 shades and BL2. Consistent quality from batch to batch. Color accuracy confirmed by dental technicians from Europe and the USA.
Lifelike gradient
The four shade layers create a seamless gradient from incisal to dentin just like a natural tooth
- Premium aesthetics even with monolithic restorations
- After sintering, the different shade layers yield a highly convincing shade gradient, from the incisal to the dentin — just as in natural teeth
- Extra high translucency (approx. 49 %) and excellent shade accuracy allows lifelike aesthetics especially for the anterior region
- All 16 registered VITA®2 shades and BL2 are available. Every shade has its own incisal shade.
- An alternative to lithium disilicate (translucency)
Zirconia Multilayer Material
The layering in the incisal area is the same for all disc sizes; only the dentin area has a different thickness. This makes nesting particularly easy for the dental technician.
Easy to use
Easy to nest and same sintering programs for all Cercon zirconia discs. Just glaze and go.
Advantages
- Improves productivity with reproducible results and time savings (milling, sintering, glaze)
- Identical sintering programs/ temperatures for all Cercon zirconia products
- Speed sintering in less than 3 hours for all Cercon zirconia products
- QR code scanning for easy use in the inLab MC X5 (CAM software version 19 and later)
- Key way on disc surface for exact positioning when using the same discs for multiple millings
Finishing
The finishing of all-ceramic restorations is an essential component of aesthetics and quality. Cercon Multilayers can be finished with only a single glaze or by an individual characterization with stains.
Examples: bridges and crown, milled in Cercon xt ML, Shade A2, finished with Dentsply Sirona Universal Stain & Glaze.
Zirconia in the digital workflow
Dentsply Sirona offers the full range of products required to process zirconium oxide in the digital workflow. From scan and design via mill, sinter and finishing to the cementation.
