Nacera® Blue X

NACERA^® BLUE X

We have surpassed Cubic Zirconia in the desire for a strong, but highly translucent zirconium oxide. Nacera’s Blue X, applied to Nacera^® Pearl 3Y-TZP Zirconia, exceeds the aesthetic properties of lithium disilicate by allowing technicians to brush into place the right amount of translucency only where desired.

The translucency will increase up to 8 % on Nacera® Zirconia. The advantages continue with improvements in strength. Nacera® Pearl Zirconia treated with Blue X has still a flexural strength of 1.200 MPa 4 Point Bending Stregth. Almost double Cubic Zirconia, and up to 3x that of lithium disilicate!

Blue X is especially developed for Nacera® Shaded Zirconia. It will lower the Chroma when applied to Incisal or Occlusal areas and generates a lifelike color transition – for a brushed Multilayer effect! The concept realized by „Blue X“ is a world first — made in Germany by DOCERAM Medical Ceramics.
