Zahn Dental, part of Henry Schein, Inc, has unveiled its new product, Zirlux® Independence ML, a multi-layered zirconia disc designed to meet the growing demands of dental laboratories for durability, aesthetics, and efficiency. Manufactured in the U.S. with imported materials, the new zirconia offers a combination of features that enhance productivity.
Zirlux Independence ML is engineered to ensure consistent shades, natural esthetics, and full-disc milling, making it a practical choice for dental labs. Key benefits include:
Consistent Shades: Available in all 16 VITA®* shades, plus 0M2, it provides true shade accuracy. This reduces the need for remakes and shortens turnaround times.
Full-Disc Milling Efficiency: The zirconia mills cleanly to the edge, minimizing chipping near the ring and cutting down on waste. This leads to better yield per disc.
Natural Multilayer Opalescence: With a natural gradient and pearl-like opalescence, it mimics the aesthetics of natural teeth and helps reduce staining and layering.
Strength & Aesthetics: Made with 4Y zirconia technology, Zirlux Independence ML offers strength up to 1085 MPa and 48% translucency, making it ideal for full-arch bridges and anterior crowns.
Rita Acquafredda, President of Global Dental Lab & Prosthetic Solutions at Zahn Dental, commented on the launch: “Zirlux Independence ML underscores our dedication to offering dental laboratories a high-quality yet affordable zirconia. It’s a solution that seamlessly integrates into their workflows, boosting production and profitability.”
