BEGO Zirkon HT – the highly translucent zirconium dioxide for the highest aesthetic demands
The high translucency of BEGO Zirkon HT facilitates natural aesthetics, which are indispensable for fully anatomical crowns and bridges. Thanks to the special combination of the technical characteristics of BEGO Zirkon HT bridge frames with up to 16 units and two adjacent ponticscan be produced. The realization of the thin-tapered crown margins reducesthe finishing work considerably.Fully anatomical restorations can be individualized and finalized by simple polishing and/or glaze firing with strain.
BEGO Zirkon LT – the translucent zirconium dioxide for the highest aesthetic demands
Due to its impressive strength BEGO Zirkon LT is well suitable for the production of one-piece and two-piece customized abutmens, single-tooth restorations as well as bridge frames with up to 16 units. The finalization takes place with the veneering ceramic for zirconium dioxide of choicein the laboratory. The microstructured surface of BEGO Zirkon LT allows for an excellent adaption of the gums – especially to one-piece abutments. This ensures support of gum generation in the patient.
Maximum use
Both CAD/CAM materials are usable for the preparation of partially and fully veneered frames with up to 16 units and up totwo pontics. The production by means of high-precision machines in the high-tech production center of BEGO provides a unique fit. Dentine core crowns and bridges, maryland bridges and telescopic primary crowns can be producedas well. One-piece customized abutments for the anterior region and two-piece abutments can be realized with BEGO Zirkon LT and cope with the highest aesthetic demands.
