[QUOTE="ztech, post: 331191, member: 3022"] I know this will probably start a ruckus but here goes. Almost all the zirconia powders are basically the same. TOSOH is the manufacturer of 95% of the zirconia powders in the world (their claim). Sagemax and Kuraray Noritake are two of the remaining 5% that source their own powder. What this tells you is that other than the colorants added and the type of forming the zirconia goes through, most manufacturers of zirconia are using the same formulations in their 3y,4y,5y zirconia. Now to your question, Bruxzir is probably the most opaque you can buy. It is one of the first generation 3y zirconia that were below 31% translucency. All the newer zirconia range from 31% (3y) to 43% (5y) translucency with the 4y somewhere in the middle. [/QUOTE]
