DMax Natura Zirconia

⚠ DMAX blanks have been discontinued. Khai Nguyen no longer fabricates new restorations in this material; the information below is kept for reference. For new cases that need high-strength zirconia, see DD Bio Zirconia or contact the lab.

DMax Natura is a zirconia range from DMAX (South Korea), covering white, pre-shaded and multilayer blanks with flexural strength from 900 to 1,300 MPa depending on the blank. The high-strength white blanks are used for crowns and long-span bridges (Alpha HT) or for frameworks (Natura Eco, Opaque Natura); the pre-shaded and multilayer blanks (Natura M, Multi M, Multilayer Smart) for full-contour crowns that need esthetics.

Highlights

  • High hardness: Zirconia is far harder than many other materials, extending the lifespan of dental restorations.
  • Natural translucency: DMax Natura Zirconia blanks closely reproduce the shade and translucency of natural teeth, delivering highly esthetic results.
  • A blank for each indication: white, pre-shaded and multilayer blanks, chosen by tooth position, bridge span and stump shade.

Warranty Policy

Covered by our general warranty (6 months to 15 years depending on the material)

More information

Exclusive white multilayer blanks. Time-saving: fabricate 16 shades per blank. The different absorption of each layer produces the most natural shade transition. The blank has five zones from incisal to body: enamel, three transition zones and dentin; in a 14 mm blank they measure 2.1 / 1.4 / 3.5 / 2.1 / 4.9 mm. After dipping, dry at 200 °C for 15 minutes, then sinter at 1,530 °C with a 2-hour hold (DMAX catalogue p.05).
