Hocera ST Multilayer Zirconia Block<\/h2>\n

VITA 16 Shades | Reliable Solution for Long Bridges and Full-Arch Restorations<\/h3>\n

Hocera ST Multilayer Zirconia Block is designed for dental laboratories that require both esthetic reliability and mechanical stability<\/strong>. In modern CAD\/CAM workflows, laboratories must balance strength, translucency, and production efficiency. Therefore, Hocera developed this material based on a 4Y-TZP zirconia formulation<\/strong> to meet those demands.<\/p>\n

As a result, Hocera ST Multilayer Zirconia supports predictable outcomes in long-span bridges and full-arch restorations<\/strong>. At the same time, it helps laboratories reduce manual processing steps and maintain consistent quality across cases.<\/p>\n

\n

Pre-Dyed Gradient Technology for Predictable Aesthetics<\/h2>\n

Unlike conventional mono-layer zirconia, Hocera ST Multilayer Zirconia uses VITA 16 pre-dyed gradient technology<\/strong>. This structure creates a natural chroma transition from cervical to incisal areas. Consequently, restorations appear more lifelike without additional staining.<\/p>\n

Specifically, the cervical zone features higher chroma and density, which enhances depth. Meanwhile, the incisal zone incorporates a patented blue-gray layer<\/strong> that mimics natural enamel. As a result, the common \u201cwhite-out\u201d effect is effectively avoided.<\/p>\n

Because the color gradient is integrated during manufacturing, laboratories can eliminate external staining. In practice, this saves approximately 15\u201320 minutes per unit<\/strong> and improves shade consistency after sintering.<\/p>\n

\n

Bio-Mimetic Optical Performance<\/h2>\n

In addition to its gradient structure, Hocera ST Multilayer Zirconia offers biomimetic optical properties<\/strong>. With a translucency of 43%<\/strong>, it allows light transmission similar to natural enamel. Therefore, restorations demonstrate improved depth and vitality, especially in anterior cases.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, controlled opalescence enhances visual integration with adjacent teeth. According to CIELab verification, the material achieves up to 98% natural tooth color match<\/strong>. Consequently, laboratories can deliver esthetic results with minimal manual adjustment.<\/p>\n

\n

Mechanical Strength for Long-Span Restorations<\/h2>\n

Although translucency is enhanced, mechanical reliability remains a core focus. Hocera ST Multilayer Zirconia provides a flexural strength of up to 1200 MPa<\/strong>, which is essential for multi-unit restorations.<\/p>\n

As a result, the material is suitable for 3\u201314 unit bridges<\/strong> and full-arch prosthetics<\/strong>. Moreover, it performs reliably in posterior load-bearing areas. The dense microstructure helps reduce micro-crack formation, which improves long-term durability.<\/p>\n

In addition, optimized sintering stability supports consistent performance under high masticatory forces. Therefore, laboratories can confidently use the material in demanding clinical indications.<\/p>\n

\n

Streamlined CAD\/CAM & Laboratory Workflow<\/h2>\n

From a production perspective, Hocera ST Multilayer Zirconia is optimized for digital CAD\/CAM workflows<\/strong>. It is fully compatible with Roland and Ivoclar CAD\/CAM systems<\/strong>, which simplifies integration.<\/p>\n

Notably, the material supports zero calibration milling<\/strong>. Consequently, setup time is reduced and milling accuracy is improved. During sintering, shrinkage deviation remains within \u00b10.02%<\/strong>, ensuring dimensional stability.<\/p>\n

Because of its excellent machinability, the material produces precise margins and smooth surfaces. As a result, laboratories achieve faster throughput and more consistent results across different disc sizes.<\/p>\n

\n
