DeguDent Cercon Stain Kit

Ceramic stains play an important role and are traditionally used as a finishing touch to complete ceramic restorations or characterizations for crowns, veneers and pressable ceramics. The Cercon Stain Kit from DeguDent now offers a complete line, specially for Zirconia restorations. The newly developed staining materials are important for the characterization of full anatomical works, which has traditionally proven to be quite a challenge.

Full contour, unveneered Zirconia restorations have evolved to an exciting new level in dentistry, with the release of Cercon ht. Cercon ht has a lower abrasion on the opposing tooth in comparison to traditional veneering ceramic and lithium disilicate. The same result was found even when the materials were inserted and re-polished after adjustments made by dentists. Thanks to its proven documented safety, Cercon ht can be recommended for full anatomical restorations of posterior teeth.

But full anatomical restorations made of zirconium oxide have a challenging side for technicians as well. The surface of zirconia has a different texture than the well known layering ceramic. Common recommended staining materials often reach their limits very quickly. However, the new Cercon stains have the same handling behavior as commonly used stains due to a very fine microstructure of the powders and glace materials, allowing technicians to work far more precisely. The new set of Cercon stains contain nuances in nine colors and nine different body stains, all materials are close to their natural fluorescence and aesthetic results of a conventional ceramic layering. The stain kit is completed with the Cercon glaze, which gives a special homogenous surface.

Cercon Ceram stains is also recommended for the characterization of veneered Zirconia with a CTE of 10.5 x 10^-6 K^-1(25-500 degrees Celcius), e.g. Cercon Ceram Kiss and Cercon Ceram Love.
