Argen Introduces ArgenZ Anterior Value Shaded Disc System
Posted Apr 15, 2016 in Post-Show Coverage
Argen launched its ArgenZ Anterior Value Shaded Disc System, a collection of pre-shaded super translucent zirconia that covers all 16 shades of the VITA Classic shade guide with just six value shaded discs. Each disc covers two to three shades based on value and chroma, requiring less inventory and mill time. No green stage shading is needed; you simply design, mill, sinter and stain and glaze.
An alternative to lithium disilicate, the discs are 25% more translucent than HT zirconia and have a flexural strength of 765MPa, according to the company. They contain cubic zirconia, which refracts light to mimic natural teeth. Available in 98mm in a full range of thicknesses, the discs are indicated for three-unit full contour anterior bridges and single-unit anterior and posterior crowns and copings. For additional information, call 800-255-5524 or visit www.argen.com.
