Tough to get Chinese zirconium these days...makes folks like Argen, Ivoclar, and others that make their own discs set up pretty good. I guess till the Toshoh powder runs out I suppose.A big portion of our big US brands use zirconia from china. China processes about 90% of all the worlds dental zirconia including a lot of initial processing of Toshoh powder as well. Some US brands just buy the powder to the spec they want and press their own discs, and some just flat out relabel and resell. Like it or not thats just the way it is. How do I know this you ask? I some background in import/export and looked up the shipments.
