Peak Dental offers leading zirconia for their esthetic series crown and bridge solution, Ascent4D "E" and Ascent4D "F" series zirconia. This zirconia is ideal for anterior units due to its exceptional translucency up to 48%. Our Ascent4D "E" and "F" series zirconia provides the best of both worlds with high flexural strength for a durable monolithic restoration, as well as a gradation in translucency and shade.

Features:

  • "E Series": 700 MPA Incisal Edge with 1000 MPA Dentin
  • "E Series": Ideal for Anterior Bridge
  • "F Series": 1000 MPA Incisal Edge with 1300 MPA Dentin
  • "F Series": Ideal for Full-Arch Restorations
  • Up to 49% light transmission at 1 mm
  • Eliminates Propagation of Cracks
  • Multi-layered Esthetics

Indications

Full-contour zirconia is so versatile, it can be used in almost any situation from singles, bridges with any combination of abutments and pontics, inlay bridges, Maryland type bridges and screw-retained implants. Also an esthetic alternative to a PFM with metal occlusion due to limited space.

When esthetic expectations are high and it is important that the restorations match surrounding natural dentition or other existing restorations.

Can go to .5mm in some areas when reduction is limited. Minimum occlusal reduction of 0.5 mm; 1 mm is ideal. Adjustments and polishing: Adjust full-contour zirconia crowns and bridges using water and air spray to keep the restoration cool and to avoid microfractures with a fine grit diamond. If using air only, use the lightest touch possible when making adjustments. A football-shaped bur is the most effective for occlusal and lingual surfaces (on anterior teeth); a tapered bur is the ideal choice for buccal and lingual surfaces. Polish full-contour zirconia restorations with the porcelain polishing system of your choice.

Full-contour zirconia may be cemented using a resin reinforced glass ionomer such as RelyX Luting cement. When a greater bond is needed due to the lack of a retentive preparation, use resin cement like RelyX Unicam or RelyX Ultimate. Before cementing all full-contour zirconia crowns, the interior surface of the crown needs to be cleaned with Ivoclean (Ivoclar Vivadent - Amherst, NY). This is critical in assuring maximum bond strength.

Solid zirconia requires a cast gold type preparation. If adjustments are needed, use zirconia specific diamonds and rubber wheels polishing with diamond paste.
