In modern implant dentistry, precision, efficiency, and esthetics are no longer optional. They are expected. That’s why Kuraray Noritake Dental developed KATANA™ Zirconia ONE For IMPLANT, a groundbreaking innovation that brings together strength, natural beauty, and streamlined workflow—all in a single, pre-sintered zirconia block designed specifically for chairside use.
With KATANA™ Zirconia ONE for Implant, you can simplify your workflow. This block offers two types of restoration options in one block.
Whether you’re fabricating a hybrid abutment crown or a hybrid abutment, KATANA™ Zirconia ONE for Implant gives you the flexibility to create either type of restoration from the same block.
With an integrated access hole for Ti-Base connection, it’s engineered for seamless compatibility with CEREC systems, enabling fully digital chairside fabrication—scan, design, mill, sinter, and cement—all within the same appointment.
• Hybrid Abutment Crown (Screw-Retained): Ideal for general cases, simplifying the workflow and minimizing components.
• Hybrid Abutment + Crown (cement-retained crown): Recommended when implant angulation differs from adjacent teeth, offering restorative freedom and precision.
Every KATANA™ Zirconia ONE for Implant block is crafted with Kuraray Noritake Dental’s original multi-layer zirconia technology. This provides precisely controlled layers gradated shade and translucency that mimic the optical characteristics of natural enamel and dentin.
• Flexural strength: 932 MPa¹
• 10 VITA-based shades plus NW for Noritake shade matching
• Lifelike color transitions from dentin to enamel
The result? Restorations that not only perform with exceptional durability but also blend beautifully within the patient’s smile zone.
Unlike conventional materials, Kuraray Noritake Dental develops its zirconia powders entirely in-house, ensuring extensive control over zirconia powder properties.. This original manufacturing process guarantees consistent quality, unmatched translucency, and mechanical reliability case after case.
For posterior restorations, a simple hand polish can achieve the desired luster and color match. For anterior cases, finish with CERABIEN™ ZR FC Paste Stain for even more striking esthetics. Whether you choose pre-sinter or post-sinter polishing, the workflow is fast, predictable, and efficient.
This block offers chairside convenience with CEREC®²
When paired with the CEREC® workflow, KATANA™ Zirconia ONE for Implant can be completed chairside in under an hour:
The result is a highly esthetic, durable restoration with a precise, passive fit—all while your patient waits.
