For True-to-Life Anterior Restorations

In high-esthetic anterior restorations, optical behavior matters as much as strength. Hocera 3D Multilayer Pro Zirconia is engineered to replicate the visual depth, translucency, and color transition of natural teeth.

Rather than relying on surface staining, this multilayer zirconia achieves realism through material-level gradient design. As a result, restorations appear natural under both clinical lighting and daylight conditions.

Exceptional Aesthetics Through Controlled Translucency

Unlike conventional zirconia blocks with uniform translucency, Hocera 3D Multilayer Pro features a gradual translucency transition from incisal to cervical.

Specifically, translucency ranges from 57% at the incisal edge to 43% at the cervical zone. Therefore, the incisal area closely mimics natural enamel transparency. Meanwhile, the cervical region provides sufficient opacity to mask underlying tooth structure or implant abutments.

As a result, restorations demonstrate depth, vitality, and realistic light behavior without over-whitening or greying effects.

Seamless Multi-Layer Structure for Natural Color Flow

To achieve a smooth visual transition, Hocera applies a 6-layer structural design combined with 11 gradient color layers. This configuration allows color and translucency to shift progressively from cervical to incisal zones.

Consequently, the color distribution appears continuous rather than segmented. In practice, this eliminates abrupt transitions that are often visible in lower-grade multilayer zirconia.

Moreover, the pre-layered structure significantly reduces or eliminates the need for external staining. As a result, laboratories can achieve consistent shade outcomes while saving finishing time.

Strength Gradient Designed for Clinical Reality

Aesthetic performance alone is not sufficient for long-term success. Therefore, Hocera 3D Multilayer Pro incorporates a mechanical strength gradient that aligns with functional demands.

Incisal zone: optimized for translucency and esthetics
Cervical zone: reinforced for load-bearing stability

Flexural strength gradually increases from approximately 700 MPa to 1050 MPa, depending on position within the disc. As a result, the material supports both esthetic anterior crowns and functional bridges.

This balance allows laboratories to use a single zirconia solution for anterior crowns, posterior crowns, and multi-unit bridges.

Optimized for Precision Milling and Stable Sintering

From a laboratory workflow perspective, Hocera 3D Multilayer Pro is engineered for predictable CAD/CAM processing.

The material demonstrates excellent milling behavior with clean margins and low tool wear. Therefore, chipping risk during milling is minimized.

After sintering, the zirconia achieves a sintered density of 6.07 ± 0.01 g/cm³, indicating a dense and stable microstructure. In addition, hardness reaches approximately 1250 HV, supporting long-term wear resistance.

Recommended sintering temperature ranges from 1480°C to 1530°C, allowing compatibility with standard and fast sintering programs.

Indications and Clinical Versatility

Because of its combined esthetic and mechanical properties, Hocera 3D Multilayer Pro is suitable for a wide range of indications:

Anterior veneers and crowns
Posterior crowns
Multi-unit bridges
Full-contour restorations
Implant-supported prosthetics

Furthermore, compatibility with open-system CAD/CAM milling machines and common disc sizes (95 mm, 98 mm) simplifies integration into existing laboratory workflows.

Why Laboratories Choose Hocera 3D Multilayer Pro

Ultimately, Hocera 3D Multilayer Pro is designed for laboratories that demand aesthetic realism without compromising strength.

By combining translucency gradient, color layering, and strength zoning within a single disc, it reduces manual steps, lowers remake rates, and improves first-fit success.

As a result, dental laboratories can deliver predictable, lifelike restorations efficiently—even in high-volume or high-esthetic cases.

High strength meets lifelike aesthetics.
Precision milling with near-zero chipping.
A reliable solution from monolithic crowns to full-arch bridges.

• High-grade multilayer zirconia block with natural colour gradients, replicating enamel-to-dentin transition for lifelike restorations.	• Robust flexural strength, with values in the range 700–1050 MPa (or more), enabling full-contour crowns, bridges and implant abutments.	• Compatible with open-system CAD/CAM milling machines and major disc diameters (e.g., 95–98 mm), reducing tool-kit complexity in dental labs.
• High translucency—typically 43%-57% light transmission depending on variant—ensuring superior aesthetics, especially in anterior restorations.	• Fine adjusted microstructure and sintering technology ensuring high density and mechanical reliability after sintering (≈6.0 g/cm³ or greater).	• Pre-shaded and pre-layered block design (multilayer) eliminates or greatly reduces manual external staining; saves finishing time.
• Multi-layer shade gradient (e.g., 5-6 layers) delivers smooth cervical-to-incisal colour transitions and consistent shade matching (e.g., VITA A1-D4, BL1-BL4).	• Optimised for modern workflows: reduced sintering time (“fast sintering” versions) available—accelerates lab turnaround.	• Suitable for a wide range of indications, including veneers, anterior & posterior crowns, inlays/onlays, screw-retained bridges, and full-arch frameworks.
• Excellent opalescence and enamel-like light behaviour for superior visual integration in cosmetic zones.	• Stable colour and optical properties across production batches—ensures reliability and reproducibility in high-volume labs.	• Waste reduction through fewer shade mismatch remakes and improved “first-fit” rate thanks to consistent block behaviour.
• Cervical opacity zone designed to mask dark substrates (e.g., implant abutments or discoloured dentine) while the incisal zone remains translucent.	• Compatible with full-contour zirconia restorations—no veneering porcelain needed, thereby reducing chipping risk and inventory layers.	• Broad thickness and size options (e.g., 10–30 mm thickness) allow labs to select optimal block size per case, reducing material waste.
• Designed for both high cosmetic demand and robust function—“esthetic meets strength” in one block.	• Bio-compatible, metal-free zirconia oxide format, suitable for long-term intra-oral service and high-performance restorative cases.	• Easier milling behaviour compared to older generations—enhancing milling efficiency and lower tool wear in dental CAD/CAM workflows.
