AP Volution Z - zirconia pressable ceramic - Value Based ingots are a silicate reinforced, high strength glass ceramic to press over zirconia frames.
These APVolution Z Ingots offer exceptional strength over 130 MPa for crowns, bridges, and implants, with versatile press-and-stain or cut-back techniques for lifelike aesthetics. Their self-glazing feature eliminates glaze paste, while Z-Light, Z-Dark, and Z-Dark Plus (covering all 16 VITA shades) save time and inventory costs, allowing more units per ring with a single glaze touch-up; for example, Z-Light covers A1-A2, B1-B2, C1-C2, D2 with one stain cycle, Z-Dark spans A3-A3.5, B3, C3, D3, and Z-Dark Plus includes A4, B4, C4, D4. This streamlines production by up to 150% with consistent results.
AP Volution Z - zirconia pressable ceramic - Value Based ingots
Aesthetic-Press Value Based Ingots
APVolution Z Light—A1, A2, B1 B2, C1, C2, D2
APVolution Z Dark—A3-A3.5, B3, C3, D3
APVolution Z Dark Plus—A4, B4, C4, D4For the press & stain technique, the technician can achieve the entire color spectrum with 3 different value based ingots. With one stain cycle, light colors as well as the dark shades can be matched without the use of glaze paste. The silicate-reinforced porcelain ensures a higher strength porcelain.
The APVolution Z Light covers the lighter shades ranging from A1-A2, B1-B2, C1-C2, or D2, whereas the APVolution Z Dark ingot is good for shades A3-A3.5. The APVolution Z Dark Plus ingot covers the A4, B4, C4, D4 range.Add-on powder is available for these specific ingot shades. These powders can also be used as one powder buildup material. The exceptional strength of > 130 MPa leads to improved durability and stability.
