KATANA™ Zirconia Troubleshooting Handbook

Available Now!

Have you ever produced a zirconia restoration without obtaining the outcome you expected? Most dental technicians probably have. The bad thing is that aesthetic flaws such as colour deviations or white spots and technical issues like cracks can occur and require remakes. The good thing is, however, that those problems are usually avoidable. Do you know how?

We would like to show you – in the new KATANA™ Zirconia Troubleshooting Handbook we just completed. On 30 pages, this handbook summarized the most important facts about modern zirconia-based restorative materials, their selection, the KATANA™ Zirconia line-up and, finally, possible aesthetic or technical problems, their origin and solutions to overcome them.

Let us assume that the beauty of your restorations is limited due to a lack of translucency. By looking up the problem “lack of translucency”, you will find a compact, well-structured overview of possible causes and adequate solutions. The recommendations include selecting dry instead of wet milling, abstaining from sandblasting the restoration surface and checking of the sintering parameters, quality of the sintering beads and position of the restoration in the furnace.
