All,

Just had a wonderful conversation with Chris at Esprit dental about their Fusion 600 material. They are a well established company and have FDA approval for their zirconia material.

Esprit dental also has a substantial line of implant products.

Chris is sending me sample crowns of the different shades for evaluation.

Fusion 600 blocks will be available soon.

I'm very excited about this new zirconia material, which will temporarily give me a marketing edge over my competition, i.e.-Glidewell.

Emax watch out!

initial testing is showing alot of translucency. I need to verify FDA approval so i can try a few crowns in vitro.

Translucency and chameleon effect are two different things.


Also, anyone confirm this is the same as the ZZ stuff?

@Ken Knapp
So will all zirconia porcelains fire to this material as normal?

I would assume so since the zirconia composition and CTE is similar to the zirconias currently on the market.
