CAP has a new puck you should take a look at

Do they have some zirconia material comparative optical transmission measurement data?

i have no idea what kinds of testing theyve done, but look at this thread

This is really good marketing, but e.max is around 5800 mpa vickers hardness this stuff is 710. The flexural strength of e.max is around 400mpa this stuff is 175.
They aren't comparing apples with apples.

Well here it is guys, I got a puck in this morning and it milled like butter! I ran it on the PMMA strategy and it milled perfect.

Contrary to what Scott "says," my MickeyMouse mill worked perfect for this material. I don't need to mill wet or have a industrial mill!

I will post more pics once I polish them and get them photo worthy

So far so good...any pics of the finished product yet?

What happened here? Did you ever polish it up?

 

[ParkwayDental]

No I never polished it up, it is sitting in my very important drawer.

Wondering about this material...to be used for same day multi-unit cases. Did you end up not liking it?

Well for one they only offer 3 shades, might be different now but thats all they had at the time. Number two is I am not going to be a guinea pig and introduce this material since there is no real study behind it. Looked ok, but still looks monolithic.
