Prettau® Skin® - Ultra-thin Prettau® zirconia veneers

No prep veneers are the newest solution that will change the way we think about dentistry. Thanks to this new technique, it is now possible to produce ultra-thin zirconia veneers (Prettau® Skin®) only 0.2 mm thick. In this way, patients can get a healthy smile with zero to minimal impairment of tooth substance. The new technique is suitable for the aesthetic correction of tooth discolourations, tooth gaps, crooked teeth, cone teeth and abraded teeth.

Prettau® Skin® veneers can be made from all types of Zirkonzahn Prettau® line. Particularly suitable is however the Prettau® Dispersive® line, as it is already provided with a natural colour gradient from dentine to enamel during the production process.

In particular, for the new Prettau® 3 Dispersive® zirconia, Zirkonzahn has introduced the concept of Gradual-Triplex-Technology, developing a material with a triple gradient of colour, translucency and flexural strength. In this way, while the incisally increasing translucency results in a highly translucent incisal edge, the cervically increasing flexural strength leads to an extremely high flexural strength at the tooth neck. Prettau® 3 Dispersive® can be used for all kinds of zirconia restorations but is particularly suitable for monolithically designed structures.

Zirkonzahn offers a special course to correctly learn the new Prettau® Skin® technique, including both technical and clinical procedures.
