With the introduction of Lava Esthetic Fluorescent Full-Contour Zirconia, clinicians and labs can now offer their patients strong, natural-looking restorations. It features unique, built-in color technology delivering an excellent shade match, and it is the first cubic zirconia to offer inherent, tooth-like fluorescence for all shades as well as a true color match with VITA Classic shades. Lava Esthetic zirconia delivers optimized translucency for aesthetic, full-contour crowns and 3-unit bridges at a strength of 800 MPa—higher than that of glass ceramics and other leading cubic zirconia materials—and a 2016 study has shown that restorations made of Lava Esthetic zirconia are wear-friendly against opposing enamel. 3M recommends RelyX 2 Unicem Self-Adhesive Resin Cement to use with Lava Esthetic zirconia because it combines high bond strength with ease of use and requires fewer steps without compromising reliability and aesthetics.
