After trying a lot of the more popular zirconia's over the past 5 years I found Jensens XT and Imagine to be the most dependable in shading
and translucency than anything else I've used. Zenostar and Dental Direkt BioZ run a close second place to XT with labs using good coloring techniques.
There is a new zirconia 600 type I thought look nicer than anything I've yet to see but the shading was not consistent and its harder to color. It rivals Emax MT
and would probably fool really good techs into thinking its Emax in their hands.
Very interested in trying the new Zenostar MT. If anyone is getting good shades with MT, please shoot me a PM, even if you don't want to mill for me off my stl's
As John said using different words, getting great shading and translucency is depended on the labs devotion to learn how to color correctly. Anyone with a mill
can color, but few labs are willing to learn how to color correctly within their own production quota's.............. Unfortunately the all mighty shrinking lab prices rules labs
to poor shading.
If pfms were banned today, most labs would be forced to spend the extra time to learn how to improve shades using zirconia. Maybe that Fools-Gold to think that. lol
