Prismatik CZ™

Prismatik CZ™ Clinical ZirconiaPrismatik Clinical Zirconia combines the esthetics your patients demand with the strength and affordability you desire. Laboratory tests have shown the fracture toughness and flexural strength of zirconia based restorations are significantly higher than those of alumina or any other all-ceramic restorations. In addition, Clinical Zirconia naturally produces the “lens effect” since there is no metal to show through the ceramic. The result is no unsightly black lines at the gingival.
