[QUOTE="npdynamite, post: 339614, member: 11802"] Thank you, I definetly look out for that type of stuff. (for example Prime seems to do a really bad job communicating the varying strength) Zirkonzahn is definetly one of the zirconias on my radar simply because they seem to have been dedicated to doing extremely high end esthetic zirconia restorations for a long time. So just for a little background on myself, I have been in dental CAD/CAM for around 10 years, this is just my first time being part of the decision making process and not just part of it, but soley responsible for figuring it all out. Back in the day I seem to recall a lot of zirconias, including some of the big name brands that seem to be pretty popular now, having a lot more issues including things like extreme fragility in the green state. I believe that issue has been dealt with by isostatically pressing zirconia, which appears to be widely adopted now. Those are types of concerns I have though. Things that might not come through just reading standard specs. Like, should I be looking at the source of the zirconia powder? Thats just an arbatrary example but it just seems like there should be something availible within the spec sheets of zirconia that gives the end user some way of choosing what is right for them without just having to try a bunch of different options. I realize that this may simply not exist, but I like techy details so I at least have to try to find out [/QUOTE]
