Zirconia HT (High Translucent) – At 590-720 MPa, the Zirconia HT is much stronger than porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) restorations while maintaining a natural and vibrant translucency.

The product is 100% metal-free, a feature that prevents gingival darkening and removes the possibility of exposing metallic margins if gum recession begins. They are naturally esthetic, transmit the color of adjacent teeth, and can be matched to any shade.
