Description
Absolute Resistance
Hector is the high-strength material of the ERA line, developed for applications that require maximum structural reliability and safety. Its uniform mechanical strength across all layers ensures stability and long-term durability, while the progressive chroma allows for natural aesthetic integration in the oral cavity.
Thanks to these features, it is particularly suitable for complex applications and restorations involving gingival reconstruction, offering an excellent balance between mechanical properties and aesthetics.
Orodent Hector 1100 MPa represents the peak of strength within the Era range, a premium line that combines technological innovation and artisanal expertise, developed in collaboration with Master Giuseppe Leonetti. Designed to meet the needs of modern laboratories, increasingly oriented towards advanced aesthetic solutions, this multilayer range offers an ideal balance between naturalness, reliability, and performance.
Orodent Hector 1100 MPa – Absolute Strength
Thanks to the innovative 4-layer technology, Hector 1100 MPa provides a progressive chromatic gradient with an extremely natural effect. It also maintains a flexural strength of 1100 MPa across all layers, ensuring maximum reliability and safety in every application.
High-performance material that ensures maximum structural reliability and long-term stability.
Indications for use:
- Single crowns
- Extended and full-arch bridges with up to 2 missing elements
- Toronto bridges
All Orodent discs, manufactured entirely in Castelnuovo del Garda, are pre-sintered at a low temperature for better workability.
Pre-sintering in this way allows to have the material in the chalky state (not vitrified) offering important advantages:
- good workability with the possibility of finishing the prosthesis with hand tools before sintering
- longer tools’ life (up to 700 elements with a bur for roughing)
- the extended time in the furnace ensures the homogeneity of the pre-sintering heat treatment, which makes it possible to obtain a good hold on the thinnest parts
Sintering is the key step in the entire process. It is during this step that zirconia acquires all its properties of translucency and flexural strength.
Orodent has developed 4 sintering programmes that must be chosen according to the thickness of the prosthesis, not on the type of zirconia: in particular, the heat treatment must guarantee homogeneous heating between the inner and outer layers of the prosthesis to obtain a uniform and three-dimensional shrinkage, paying particular attention to prostheses with elements of different thicknesses.

Orodent Multilayer discs can be infiltrated and characterized by brush with liquids from the Colorodent Gold and SuperColors lines. After sintering, the work can be completed using Stains mixed with glaze.
Shade selection
7 Thicknesses: 12,14,16,18,20,22,25 mm
Full elements will result more saturated, therefore in a darker colour. In these cases, we suggest to choose a less saturated shade than desired and finalize with stains after sintering.
