Hocera SHT Multilayer Zirconia Disc<\/h2>\n

Balanced Aesthetics and Strength for Daily Clinical Indications<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hocera SHT Multilayer Zirconia Disc is developed for dental laboratories seeking a reliable balance between esthetic performance and mechanical strength across anterior and posterior indications.
By combining a controlled translucency gradient with stable 4Y-TZP zirconia chemistry, this material supports predictable CAD\/CAM workflows without relying on excessive post-staining or complex layering techniques.<\/p>\n

As a result, laboratories can achieve consistent shade reproduction, controlled masking ability, and dependable structural performance within commonly accepted clinical design parameters.<\/p>\n

\n

Clinical Applications and Indications<\/h2>\n

Anterior Crowns<\/h3>\n

For anterior restorations, optical performance plays a decisive role. Therefore, Hocera SHT zirconia integrates a gradual translucency transition from cervical to incisal areas.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • \n

    Incisal translucency up to approximately 46%<\/strong>, measured under standardized light transmission testing<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Pre-integrated VITA A1\u2013D4 shade gradient for natural color continuity<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    According to internal esthetic evaluations (n=120), restorations fabricated with this disc demonstrated a high visual match to adjacent natural dentition when standard preparation guidelines were followed.<\/p>\n

    \n

    Posterior Crowns<\/h3>\n

    In posterior regions, mechanical reliability remains the primary concern. Consequently, Hocera SHT zirconia provides:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • \n

      Flexural strength of approximately 1100 MPa<\/strong>, tested in accordance with ISO 6872:2015<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      Stable marginal integrity down to 0.3 mm<\/strong>, when appropriate milling and sintering protocols are applied<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      These properties allow laboratories to fabricate posterior crowns with predictable performance under normal occlusal loads.<\/p>\n

      \n

      Veneers<\/h3>\n

      For minimally invasive indications, material behavior at reduced thickness is critical.<\/p>\n

        \n
      • \n

        Minimum recommended thickness: 0.4 mm<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      • \n

        Controlled opacity gradient helps reduce the visual influence of mildly discolored substrates<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Clinical follow-up data indicates stable retention and esthetic performance when proper bonding protocols are respected.<\/p>\n

        \n

        3-Unit Bridges<\/h3>\n

        Hocera SHT zirconia is suitable for short-span fixed dental prostheses<\/strong>, particularly 3-unit bridges within conventional indications.<\/p>\n

          \n
        • \n

          Connector cross-section \u2265 9 mm\u00b2<\/strong>, following standard laboratory design recommendations<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

        • \n

          Uniform stress distribution validated through laboratory fatigue testing (1.2 million cycles, ISO-based methodology)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          These parameters support safe and predictable framework fabrication without over-contouring connectors.<\/p>\n

          \n

          Material Science and Optical Design<\/h2>\n

          Hocera SHT zirconia is based on advanced 4Y-TZP zirconia<\/strong>, engineered to balance translucency and strength rather than maximizing either parameter alone.<\/p>\n

            \n
          • \n

            Multilayer structure with controlled chromatic and translucency transition<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

          • \n

            Fine-grain zirconia microstructure enhances edge stability and polishability<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

          • \n

            Certified according to ISO 13356<\/strong> and ISO 6872<\/strong>, ensuring suitability for dental applications<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            Importantly, the multilayer fusion process minimizes visible layer demarcation after sintering, which improves esthetic consistency across batches.<\/p>\n

            \n

            Workflow and Laboratory Advantages<\/h2>\n

            From a laboratory perspective, efficiency and reproducibility are equally important.<\/p>\n

            Therefore, Hocera SHT zirconia offers:<\/p>\n

              \n
            • \n

              Stain-free workflow<\/strong>, reducing manual finishing time per unit<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

            • \n

              Smooth milling behavior with reduced chipping risk<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

            • \n

              Dimensional stability during sintering, with shrinkage deviation typically within \u00b10.3%<\/strong>, under validated sintering conditions<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

              These characteristics contribute to higher first-fit rates and fewer remakes in digital production environments.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
