Emax is a leucite-reinforced pressed ceramic. The physical structure is very homogenous with a hardness and plaque affinity very closely resembling that of natural enamel.  Crowns, inlays, onlays and veneers can be fabricated with superb esthetics thanks to its natural-looking coloration.

Benifits include excellent marginal adaptation, 3 different opacity levels to control translucency, maximum esthetic value, not as fragile as traditional feldspathic veneers.

* a minimum of .7 mm reduction is required, with 1mm being optimal

D.Sign porcelain is a fluorapatite-leucite glass-ceramic.  Similar to natural enamel, the fluorapatite crystals scatter the entire spectrum of daylight and have a true-to-nature fluorescence.  Used for Feldspathic Veneers and PFMs.

Benefits include minimal tooth reduction for veneering and vibrant, natural-looking aesthetic properties when used alone or layered over a metal substructure. 

*D.sign Feldspathic veeners are not ideal for masking discoloration, and are technique sensitive clinically and in the laboratory.  For maximum results, tooth should be prepped incisally and interproximally.

Zirconium has a transverse strength of nearly 1200 mPa after the dense-sintering process.  The strength can withstand the occlusal force created in the posterior teeth region even in wide-span bridge frameworks.  100% metal-free bio-compatible zirconium oxide is a strong and esthetic choice for crowns, bridges, custom abutments, and attatchments.

Benifits include sperior physical and mechanical properties while maintaining high esthetic expectations, supra-constructions on implants, long-span bridge capabilities without compromising strength.

*a mimimum of 1mm reduction is necessary, with 1.5mm being optimal.
