MATERIAL DIVERSITY Materials for the best solutions

A MATTER OF HONOUR Just as carpenters carefully choose the best wood for the job, matching shades, textures and other properties, dental technicians must choose the most suitable material for the best possible patient solution. Not all the raw materials available on the market are of the same quality. While it is possible that from an objective point of view, using the best available material is not always necessary, the question of which material quality to choose for customers and patients is rather an expression of personal attitude and appreciation.

Slowness – wood that grows slowly, forming narrow growth rings; strength and physical properties grow along with them.

WE ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR EVERYTHING When manufacturing our products, we put all our efforts into quality, precision, easy handling and smart solutions at a fair price. Materials, elaboration tools, CAD/CAM systems, software and sintering furnaces – we develop and manufacture all the components necessary for the creation of a high-quality dental restoration here in South Tyrol. We know the raw materials used, the properties, the technical possibilities and the interferences by heart. This is important to us, because it is the only way we can ideally coordinate all components with each...

Zirconium (ZrSiO4) is a mineral that was created up to 4.4 billion years ago. It is the earth’s oldest known mineral. It is also the material from which zirconium dioxide (ZrO2), commonly known as zirconia, is obtained: a high-performance ceramic for the production of dental restorations.

PRETTAU® – THE MOST EXPENSIVE Without zirconia there would be no Zirkonzahn. Strongly convinced of the base properties of this material, I decided to make the best of it for us dental technicians. To achieve that, much more was necessary than initially thought – premium raw materials, expensive manufacturing and cleaning processes, colouring concepts, processing tools, milling strategies once manual and now digital, sintering furnaces and consistently new solutions. But we never gave up. The Prettau® Bridge has been used for patients all over the world for 10 years now. We are persistently...

PRETTAU® ZIRCONIA All Prettau® zirconia materials are ideal for use in cases where space is limited, or where implant supported restorations or restorations with gingiva reconstruction are required. Experience has shown that Prettau® zirconia materials harmonise excellently with natural tissue, which is why missing gingival tissue parts can be designed very well. Prettau® materials are non-abrasive to the antagonist when densely sintered. The material properties also permit monolithic design, which means that ceramic chipping can be avoided. Prettau® Liquid Prettau® Aquarell and Intensive...

PRETTAU® 2 & PRETTAU® 2 DISPERSIVE® Exceptional bending strength and excellent translucency have been successfully combined in this material. Thanks to its special combination of properties, Prettau® 2 is ideal for monolithic circular restorations. The translucency values allow monolithic design both in the anterior and posterior region. Ceramic chipping can therefore be avoided. The colouring can be individualised with staining liquids and colours. Prettau® 2 Dispersive® is already provided with a natural colour transition during the manufacturing process, the manual colouring with stains...

PRETTAU® 4 ANTERIOR® & PRETTAU® 4 ANTERIOR® DISPERSIVE® With its excellent translucency properties, Prettau® 4 Anterior ® was specially designed for use in the anterior region, but it can also be used in the entire jaw individually coloured with the new Colour Liquid Prettau® 4 Anterior ® Aquarell and thus provided with particularly vibrant luminosity. The polychromatic Prettau® 4 Anterior ® Dispersive® is provided with a smooth, natural colour transition already during the sintering process. After sintering, a smooth, merging colour pattern is created from dentine to enamel. If desired,...
