Ceramic for veneering zirconia and lithium
disilicate frameworks

Giving a hand to oral health.

 HeraCeram® Zirkonia 750
For zirconia and lithium disilicate frameworks.

HeraCeram Zirkonia 750 is the perfect choice for framework materials with a CTE of
10.2 to 10.5 μm/mK, e. g. for veneering zirconia and lithium disilicate frameworks. The
Stabilised Leucite Structure protects against crack propagation chipping and fracture, a
recognised problem with some other Zirkonia ceramic systems. Heraceram Zirkonia 750
with it’s SLS formulation gives you proven reliability exactly when and where it’s ­needed.

aesthetic results. Each HeraCeram ceramic product is you can rely on.

Optically perfect – with high purity quartz glass

Synthetic quartz glass is your guarantee for superior quality from all HeraCeram ceramics.
Thanks to its extreme purity, it offers unique aesthetic properties, e. g. opalescence and
­fluorescence from within.

Technically perfect – with a stabilised leucite structure (SLS)

The stabilised leucite structure (SLS) ensures that HeraCeram ceramics are particularly
resistant to stress. And the consistent level of microfine leucite crystals makes chipping a
thing of the past.

Simply perfect – with a consistent processing philosophy

All HeraCeram ceramics are processed in exactly the same simplified way – allowing you
to maximise your efficiency. There is also an added bonus: expensive time can be saved
thanks to shorter firing and cooling times depending upon your preferred technique.

Framework preparation
Preparing the zirconia framework surface
The zirconia frameworks are cleaned with a steam jet. – Sand blasting the framework for
better bonding is not necessary. Zr adhesive 750 can now be applied directly to the
surface of the framework.

Preparing the lithium disilicate framework surface

■■ All adaptations and possible shape corrections should be made before crystallisation
if possible.
■■ In order to avoid overheating and breakage e.g. at the margin, always work with minimal

pressure and adjusted rotational speed. Please observe the recommendations of the
manufacturer for the rotating instruments.
■■ The minimum thickness required for lithium disilicate frameworks must be maintained.

■■ After completion of framework processing, the items must be thoroughly cleaned of

abrasive dust and abrasive residues, e.g. using a steam jet.

NOTE: For preparation of the finalised framework, only use instruments which are
­recommended by the respective manufacturers e. g. I­voclar Vivadent for the processing
of lithium disilicate.

Do not sand blast the lithium disilicate surfaces with Al2O3 or glass beads.

Adhesive 750
The adhesive has the ability to fully wet zirconia and lithium
disilicate surfaces ­perfectly and thus ensure an optimum
bond. The adhesive 750 is fluorescent and provides nature-
like fluorescence from the depth of the restoration.

PLEASE NOTE: The Adhesive 750 should be applied in a thin, uniform coat to the s­ urfaces of the framework by
using a HeraCeram opaque paste brush. The firing ­temperature on zirconia is 800°C and on lithium disilicate is 750 °C,
holdtime is 1 minute. (see the recommended firing cycles at page 31)

Dentine-enamel build up
HeraCeram Zirkonia 750 dentine and / or chroma dentine can be used for layering of the ­dentine core.

The dentine is highly transparent. This promotes brilliance but results in the shade of the framework having a stronger influence
on the shade and brightness.

The underlying colour of zirconia frameworks are not standardised and may differ significantly in chroma and brightness from
the desired tooth shade.

Chroma dentine (e. g. CD A3) is the same colour as the corresponding dentine (e. g. D A3). Its high colour density
conceals the framework structures better and thus compensates differences in shade between the framework and the
desired tooth shade. This allows the technician to adapt a preferred layering scheme to suit all indications.

The dentine core can be completely or partially built up with chroma dentine.

Matrix layering.

Individualised layering with the Matrix Set

Custom build up concentrates on reproducing patient specific shades and shade character-
istics with their light optical elements such as brightness, transparency, fluorescence and
opalescence.

The ceramic compounds of the Matrix set have remarkable aesthetic properties. With
their easy layering, they make completely natural results possible. The Matrix aesthetic
concept, which is developed in cooperation with MDT Paul A. Fiechter, has a simple
layered structure that is easy to implement.

Explanation of the Matrix components

■■ MD Mamelon Dentine; SD Secondary Dentine – Ceramics which balance chroma and
­fluorescence to illuminate the mamelon structures naturally.
■■ VL Value – Highly fluorescent ceramics for influencing the brightness

in the incisal region.

■■ OS Opal Incisals – These incisal ceramics replace the corresponding standard incisal

materials. They are arranged and used in the same manner.

■■ OT Opal Transpa – Transparent ceramics for use with custom build up techniques,

which reflect the spectrum of natural enamel.

■■ OT1 – OT10 – Neutral opalescence, where the concentration increases from

OT1 to OT10, whereby the transparency decreases.

OT1 is the most transparent Opal ceramic.
OT10 is whitish opal.
