Using the speed and precision of CAD/CAM technology, it creates all-ceramic crown and bridge substructures with zirconia, an extremely strong, stable and fracture-resistant ceramic material. Preparations require removal of less tooth structure, and cementation accomodates even conventional techniques. Colorable frameworks that are thin and translucent ensure a natural and vital appearance.
The result is efficient production of restorations with excellent esthetics, enduring strength and precise fit.giving you one of the most durable and esthetic all-ceramic restorations available today.
