DENTSPLY Prosthetics introduces the next generation of Cercon technology in Cercon ht Full Contour Zirconia. Developed from the clinically proven formula for Cercon base yttria-stabilized zirconia material, Cercon ht provides excellent strength and esthetics. With a more conservative tooth reduction protocol, the monolithic material provides ultra thin, yet strong posterior restorations.

Like gold, Cercon ht has a simple, clinical protocol, requiring conservative tooth reductions of as little as 0.5 mm to 1.0 mm; a feature that is friendly to both patient’s dentition and clinician’s chairtime. Cercon ht is milled from a monolithic block of solid yttria-stabilized zirconia that provides the strength to support thin posterior single-units to long-span bridges.

Having the Cercon System in our laboratory, gives us the ability to design single and multi-unit zirconia framework. We fully customize the framework to give the best support for the veneering porcelain. Cercon Zirconia provides a translucency that exceeds PFM restorations and creates a vitality similar to natural teeth.  Cercon Zirconia is available in 11 shades enabling us to match the prescribed shade.
