Ivoclar Zircad Coloring Liquid on Backorder

[Brett Hansen CDT]

We have been trying to order the A2 coloring liquid for the LT zirconia since the beginning of November. We can't get a firm answer on when it will be in stock again from Ivoclar. anyone have a suggestion for what we could use in its place?

I also reached out to my Ivoclar sales rep for help....he responded that the liquid would be shipping out tomorrow.

I tried to order a bunch of sagemax pucks for their december promotion, 2/3 of the order were backordered... You would think a company that large with that much revenue would run a tighter ship..

I have used ZirconZahn's Prettau liquids on Zircad LT. Worked very well...

Any idea how the Prettau liquids compare in price to Ivocalrs?

Jensen sells 3M Dyeing liquids, FYI. They are $73.95 USD for 100ml.

Try Zublers new Mode 3D pre shaded Zi. Very nice stuff!

For those that are using preshaded zirconia. Do you find that you still need to stain the incisal?

I have been using Zirkon Zahn Aquarel to give the appearance of a bit more translucency.

I don't mind the results but I'm always looking for a something better.

It depends on the case, like always... ;-). I have added a little color, pre sintering, to bleach shades. For example, the Multi layered bleach shaded ZirCad puck is very bright in color. So, in order to tone it down, I add a wash of coloring liquids to it.
