ST-C Monolithic Zirconia Block , 1100MPa Strength , 16 Shade Options for Full-Contour Dental Crowns
ST-C Zirconia Block , Standard Translucency , Multi-Shade Economical Solution for Dental Crowns
The ST-C Zirconia Block delivers exceptional value for high-volume dental laboratories, combining ISO-compliant strength with optimized shade versatility. Engineered for posterior restorations and deep-shade applications, this monolithic zirconia eliminates staining steps with pre-shaded efficiency. Its balanced translucency (standard grade) ensures natural aesthetics in molar regions, while exceeding ISO 6872 Class 4 strength thresholds for 3-unit bridges.
Key Characteristics
• Cost Efficiency: Ideal for high-throughput labs, reducing production costs without compromising quality.
• Shade Flexibility: Comprehensive shade range covers deep hues (e.g., B3-B4, C3-C4, D2-D4) where high translucency provides diminishing returns.
• Bio-Safe Composition: 0-level cytotoxicity and <0.1 Bq/g radioactivity align with global medical safety standards.
• Chairside Efficiency: Pre-shaded blocks skip staining/drying steps (Page 14), shortening production time by 30%.
