Esthetic Colorant

MADE FOR
KATANA™ Zirconia

Every tooth has its unique internal shade structure. With its unique raw materials and colour structure, and specifically developed for the KATANA™ Zirconia Multi-Layered series, Esthetic Colorant enables you to easily and efficiently imitate a variety of these unique characteristics. 

The liquids are simply applied to the monolithic or anatomical restoration after milling using a metal-free brush or brush pen, preferably with a Liquid Brush Pen. The Esthetic Colorant diffuses into the pre-sintered structure and is fixed during sintering with no additional baking, resulting in lifelike shade effects shining from the inside of the restoration.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

1

LIFELIKE OUTCOMES
Esthetic Colorant has been specifically developed for the KATANA™
Zirconia Multi-Layered series to perfectly complement the effects
obtained from the materials’ multi-layered color structure.

2

MAINTAINING THE ORIGINAL STRENGTH OF KATANA™ Zirconia
You may think that the use of shading liquids negatively affects the flexural
strength of the zirconia substructure, but Esthetic Colorant has been
optimized to limit a decrease in strength and avoid failures.

COMPACT LINE-UP FOR A SIMPLIFIED PROCEDURE
Esthetic Colorant is composed of just 12 shades. They facilitate inventory
management yet establish that the typical effects and lifelike colours of
natural teeth can be expressed and controlled even before sintering for
natural rendering and oral harmony.
