[QUOTE="cadguru11, post: 335979, member: 25020"] I’m in the US. As a prosthodontist, I could go off on a diatribe on this subject, but with properly prepared teeth, the strength of any zirconia out there should be more than adequate. The battle for the highest MPa has turned into a meaningless pissing contest in my mind, but a great marketing tool for manufacturers. In the defense of labs and technicians, most dentist’s idea of 1mm is .5mm or less, so bigger is sometimes better in a world where the lab is always blamed when underprepared crowns crack. I haven’t had issues with fit with other mills or zirconia, but as always, good preparations and scans/impressions are where it starts whether it’s cast gold or zirconia. The color and translucency of zz pucks are excellent- you won’t hear me argue that- and they are amongst the very few who have om1,om2, and om3 shades, all of which are very popular in the US. The question is whether that 20mm puck is worth almost $500 when good alternatives are half that or less. [/QUOTE]
