SHOFU Disk ZR Lucent Supra - The Multilayer Zirconia for All Indications

SHOFU Disk ZR Lucent Supra combines high-strength zirconia varieties in an extremely powerful multilayer CAD/CAM material. Translucencies increasing from the cervical to the enamel zone and outstanding flexural strength of over 1,000 MPa in all zones make it a premium restorative meeting every clinical challenge – Monolithic, partly and fully veneered.

The wide range of indications extends to 14-unit bridges with two pontics. Thanks to higher light reflection in the cervical area, Disk ZR Lucent Supra also features a lifelike appearance without any compromise, especially in cases requiring more effective masking, such as discoloured stumps or implants.

The layers consist of different zirconia varieties with different strength and translucencies:
• Enamel: strength 1,034 MPa – translucency 44 % 
• Dentin: strength 1,163 MPa – translucency 40 % 
• Cervical: strength 1,454 MPa – translucency 37 %

Different particle sizes of the zirconia varieties influence the strength and appearance of the restoration. The larger the particles, the more light they transmit and the less light they refract or reflect. The finer the particles, the more they reflect and scatter light on their surfaces, known as grain boundaries.

The result is a vital, intense light reflection in the high-strength cervical area, which decreases towards the incisal. The restorations appear significantly brighter, more vivid and brilliant than conventional translucent multilayer zircons, even on implants.

In addition to the optical advantages, the high flexural strength over the entire height of the disc offers more safety for large restorations. This gives users the freedom to choose any nesting position in the disc.

Restorations made of Disk ZR Lucent Supra can be shade-optimised and sealed using the staining technique or aesthetically perfected with a reduced framework using the layering technique.
