Zirconia Orodent Lux 700/1100 MPa

Orodent LUX is the ideal choice for those seeking the highest level of aesthetics within the Era range. Developed in collaboration with Master Giuseppe Leonetti, it is born from the combination of technological innovation and artisanal sensitivity, delivering results of the highest aesthetic value.

The multilayer structure of Orodent LUX is designed to faithfully reproduce the natural stratification of the tooth. Thanks to a progressive transition between layers, it allows for a harmonious chromatic gradient and optimal light management.

The calibrated distribution of translucency and intensity across the different layers ensures a perfect balance between aesthetics and performance, delivering restorations with a natural, deep and highly realistic appearance.

Orodent Lux 700/1000 MPa is designed for high-aesthetic restorations, featuring a natural effect and a progressive gradient that reaches up to 51% translucency in the cuspid area. Depending on requirements, it allows for monolithic restorations, cut-back technique or micro-layering.

Indications for use:

• Single crowns
• Reduced bridges up to 6 units (max 1 pontic)
• Inlays

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.
