Dentsply Sirona’s Cercon xt Multilayer (ML) zirconia is designed to provide lifelike aesthetics, reliable color accuracy, and faster production processing.

The extra-translucent zirconia provides excellent aesthetics even in monolithic restorations, according to the company, due to its unique multilayer zirconia composition. It includes two transition layers in between an incisal layer and a dentin layer. The layers create an ideal shade gradient for the restoration, according to Denstply Sirona, resulting in a perfect natural look after sintering with no veneering or additional characterization required

In addition to the material’s lifelike shade gradient, which mimics the dynamic vibrancy of natural teeth, Dentsply Sirona says, Cercon xt ML’s True Color Technology precisely matches all 16 colors of the classic VITA shade guide, including one bleach shade (BL2). Also, every shade has its own incisal shade to further replicate the aesthetics of natural teeth, eliminating extra correction steps and reducing remakes.

Cercon xt ML offers 750-MPa flexural strength and is indicated for all-ceramic anterior and posterior restorations including crowns and three-unit bridges up to the second premolar. It also is designed to enhance lab productivity, as it uses the same sintering program as all other Cercon materials (Cercon xt and Cercon ht shaded), enabling more work throughput in the same amount of time. 

Purchasing Cercon xt ML directly from Dentsply Sirona will greatly benefit new and existing customers, the company says, since it will use the same buy/get free disc bundles for Cercon xt and Cercon ht that were launched in March this year. These bundles let laboratories pick and choose the discs they need based on their demand.
