They mention both processes but not their chosen one in the tech guide
Weibull strength 4-point flexural test (apparently) ISO 6827 spec

Simple
3M Lava is a premuim zirconia with optimal strength, tranluency and shading `Premium' what can you compare it to? everything else is HT or low or high strength and the fit - this is a one stop shop product - get it all

Essential - is a low cost zirconia for the mainstream market designed to complete with Nobel and other Clinical Brand Name Zirconia

Premium and Low Cost - The sell is easy Dentists trust the brand name! known for fit and consistency

We are very happy with the results of the Essential Zirconia.

We are running a half page ad in DLP advertizzzing it.

Customers like it. Lava users are staying with the real deal.
