Sứ Opal Effect - OE Ivoclar Vivadent

Low-fusing nano-fluor-apatite glass ceramic used to veneer and characterise restorations manufactured using the press- and/or CAD/CAM technology. Due to the optimised combination of low firing temperature (730 °C) and a CTE of 9.5 x 10⁻⁶K⁻¹ (100-400 °C) the material is suitable for lithium disilicate glass ceramic and ZrO₂.

Advantages:

• One layering porcelain for lithium disilicate glass ceramic and ZrO₂;
• Precise colour matching and the same clinical behaviour – regardless of the frame;
• Nano-fluor-apatite for highly aesthetic properties;
• High light conductivity with higher fluorescence at the same time.

Indications:

• Characterisation and veneering of restorations made of IPS e.max Press, IPS e.max ZirPress, IPS e.max CAD und IPS ZirCAD;
• Characterisation and veneering of ZrO₂ frames in the CTE range 10.5 to 11.0 x 10⁻⁶K⁻¹ (25-500 °C);
• Layered veneers on refractory die material;
• Shaping of gingival areas of restorations made from IPS e.max ZirCAD and IPS e.max ZirPress.

Physical data:

CTE 9.4 ± 0.5 x 10⁻⁶K⁻¹ (25-400 °C); firing temperature 730 °C (1st dentine); flexural strength (biaxial) ≥ 50 N/mm²; chemical solubility < 100 µg/cm².
