Features

Benefits

FAST PROCESSING

High-speed sintering (54 minutes) o ers completely new possibilities.
Waiting time is reduced to a minimum. For re-make and rush cases, it is now possible to finish the work easily within one day. In addition, the minimized over-night-sintering cycles enable shorter delivery time to increase your business e ciency.

ALL-IN-ONE SOLUTION

Due to the high translucency and high strength combined within one disc, the entire indication spectrum can be covered. This minimizes your inventory of di erent zirconia discs.

SIMPLE AESTHETICS

A seamless multi-layered technology eliminates visible transition lines, emphasizing natural color and translucency, that ensures a simplified, time-saving procedure.

CONTROLLED FIRING DEFORMATION

Improving the fitting accuracy of restorations after the final sintering process reduces risk of remanufacturing, which is definitely one added benefit for dental labs. No waste of time and materials.

Thickness of Body Layer (Translucency*)

“KATANA™ Zirconia” YML and STML are shown here with body layer thickness adjusted to 0.4*mm for YML, and 0.8*mm for STML. The body layer of YML can be adjusted thinner than that of high translucency zirconia, increasing its translucency even more.

* This is the minimum thickness recommended by the manufacturer.

* Test condition: All light transmittance, Illuminant: D65, Thickness of YML (Body3): 0.4mm, STML (Body3): 0.8mm

High-Speed Sintering Up to 3-Unit Bridge

Outstanding quality paired with velocity is an absolute unique feature of “KATANA™ Zirconia” over all competitive products.

The above sintering recommendation is only a guideline; some adjustments may be required depending on each individual furnace.
In case of 54, 90-minute sintering, if it cannot be set according to the schedule, it cannot be sintered.
