Celtra® Duo

Zirconia – Reinforced Lithium Silicate (ZLS)

Developed to make a difference

Brochure for the dental laboratory
 The ultra-fine
microstructure makes
all the difference
The outstanding properties of ZLS (zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate) are a function of
its unique microstructure. The presence of 10% zirconia in the glass phase in atomically
dissolved form provides high strength and ensures safe and long-lasting restorations. The
zirconia is essentially responsible for the nucleation of crystal phase.

The result is a large number of very fine-grained lithium silicate, whose high glass content
give the material its excellent light-optical and mechanical properties. Translucency,
opalescence, fluorescence and the chameleon effect all benefit, with high edge stability
and excellent polishability being an added plus. This ultra fine microstructure allows Celtra
to be processed quickly and efficiently in a dental laboratory in its crystalline state and in
the appropriate tooth shade.

CELTRA – ZIRCONIA-REINFORCED LITHIUM SILICATE

The inclusion of 10% zirconium oxide ensures particularly

high strength. The crystallites formed are four to eight times
smaller than crystals of conventional lithium disilicates.
The result is an ultra-fine microstructure that combines high
average flexural strength with a high glass content.
This has positive effects on the light-optical and mechanical
properties of the material.

The crystallites embedded in the glass phase are 2000–4000 nm

in size and thus significantly larger than Celtra, influencing both
the light-optical and mechanical properties of the material. This
is associated with lower light conductivity and requires a greater
polishing effort.

 Optical properties and
their benefits
Celtra meets the highest aesthetic standards: Natural opalescence, fluorescence and
pronounced chameleon effect give Celtra restorations the appearance of natural teeth.

NATURAL OPALESCENCE

Opalescence is a light-scattering effect. The The lithium silicate crystallites in Celtra,

FLUORESCENCE AND CHAMELEON EFFECT

The fluorescence of Celtra materials is graded by Celtra in conjunction with the remaining natural
brightness. The fine crystals of the microstructure teeth and the pronounced opalescence create

effect and make the intensity easy to adjust. The optical properties based on the ZLS microstructure,
high light conductivity and shade adaptation of Celtra has a reduced greying risk.

POLISHING IN THE LABORATORY

Thanks to the unique microstructure of Celtra, restorations can be polished quickly and easily.
The fine lithium silicate crystallites embedded in the glass matrix give Celtra its homogeneous
surface that retains its typical light-optical properties. For optimum results always follow the
step by step polishing protocol in the directions for use.

POLISHING IN THE DENTAL OFFICE

With Celtra, the necessary intraoral occlusal adjustments and subsequent polishing
of the milled surfaces are quickly accomplished. The surface quality achieved is excellent
thanks to the microstructure.

HIGH EDGE STABILITY

The high edge stability of Celtra is evident. During both the actual milling process and manual
machining delicate edges and fine structures remain safely preserved. In testing, standardized
copings are cut back at the edges to a wall thickness of 200 µm to examine edge stability.

STRENGTH RESERVES AFTER ARTIFICIAL AGING – CHEWING SIMULATIONS

In the chewing simulation, Celtra behaves in a way that is atypical of ceramic materials. While ceramics
usually lose some of their strength in the aging process, Celtra retains its high level of strength due to
ample strength reserves – a strength that contributes to the long-term safety of the restoration.
