Layered Zirconia (Cercon) | Bremadent Dental Laboratory in London
'Cercon®' is a CAD/CAM pre-sintered zirconia framework with layered ceramic and has over 5.7 million restorations produced worldwide for over 10+ years. With numerous scientific studies, it has shown Cercon® is just as safe as the gold standard of metal ceramic bridges with a 100% survival rate over 40 months, it is a proven system that provides high strength for fabricating zirconia based crown & bridge frameworks and customised implant abutments in anterior and posterior regions.
Layered to zirconia implies that the framework is CAD/CAM milled as a coping and has ceramic layered over the top of the coping to achieve form, function and aesthetics whereas a monolithic full contour zirconia is milled from a solid zirconia block and is sintered to produce the form, function and aesthetics as one solid block of material, with no ceramic layered.
Technical Features:
Cercon® is milled from pre-sintered zirconia blocks via our in-house Cercon® CAD/CAM milling machine and provides a flexural strength of over 1,300 mpa. It is recommend for primary telescopic crowns, crown substructures, multi-unit bridge substructure with a maximum anatomical length of 47mm (4-6 unit bridge) and inlay bridges.
Clinical Features:
Cercon® is a bio-compatible material and is the substructure for layered ceramic instead of precious or non precious alloy. Cercon® provides a highly aesthetic solution and promotes high strength and is highly accurate.
All cases are scanned and designed in 3D, which gives accurate and clearly defined parameters with the prepared tooth, margins, contact areas and occlusion captured precisely and locked for the 'Design'. Our technicians will then be able customise any areas of concern within the parameters.
The parameters of the scan & design are now locked and cannot be altered further, the restoration is then milled or 3D printed from the locked digital parameters. Once the restoration has been made, It is then fitted to a working model and then further on a solid model to minimize variables. Our technicians will then be able customise any areas of concern within the framework and design the restoration with natural anatomy in layered ceramic. The restoration is then quality controlled for fit, aesthetics, occlusion, contact areas and margins.
