Frequently Asked Questions
What are the main features of KATANA™ Zirconia ONE?
KATANA™ Zirconia ONE allows milling up to 3-unit bridges when treating the patient on a single visit and using Dentsply Sirona’s CEREC system. Kuraray Noritake Dental’s zirconia and multi-layer technologies allow the user to fabricate zirconia restorations with natural shade gradation and translucency mimicking natural teeth.
Here are the main features of this product.
1) Flexural strength; 933MPa*
2) 18-minute Sinter for all shades
3) Extended bur life approx. 200% compared to conventional product
4) Streamlining inventory management
*Published data: using “CROWN” block
How many layers does the product consist of?
The product consists of four different colored zirconia. They are arranged in the order of 35% (Body Layer), 15%
(Transition Layer 1), 15% (Transition Layer 2), and 35% (Enamel Layer). Please refer to the product brochure for details.
What is the difference from the conventional KATANA™ Zirconia Block STML?
KATANA™ Zirconia ONE has been optimized for cutting efficiency when manufacturing the prosthetics by
adjusting the sintering conditions, when compared with its predecessor, KATANA™ Zirconia Block STML.
As a result, bur life is extended.
The new KATANA™ Zirconia ONE, for single unit restorations, streamlines inventory management by integrating
multiple block sizes into one type under the name CROWN. BRIDGE is available for fabricating bridge restorations.
With the change in size, it enables the Super Fast milling mode provided by CEREC Primemill making it is possible to mill a CROWN in as fast as 5 minutes.
Preparation guidelines for minimal thickness of a full coverage posterior crown is reduced to 0.8mm, while maintaining its mechanical strength.
Previously, a glaze finish was recommended, but now you can choose between finishing techniques: glaze finish, pre-sinter polish, and post-sinter polish.
KATANA™ Zirconia ONE has been optimized to achieve higher efficiency while maintaining characteristics such as natural gradation, speed sintering compatibility, mechanical strength, and is available in a wide selection of shades (14), as our orignal KATANA™ Zirconia BLOCKS.
How does KATANA™ Zirconia ONE compare to other competitor products?
KATANA™ Zirconia ONE has a higher flexural strength (933 MPa) than IPS e.max CAD (565 MPa), which is a lithium disilicate glass*.
KATANA™ Zirconia ONE’s unique pigment technology multi-layered structure, so it is easier to fabricate a natural looking restoration.
*Data source: Kuraray Noritake Dental Inc. According to ISO 6872: 2015.
KATANA™ Zirconia ONE has a higher translucency* at 46% compared to CEREC MTL Zirconia at 42%.
*Total light transmittance for restorations with a thickness of less than 6mm, KATANA™ Zirconia ONE can achieve high translucency after only 18 minutes of high-speed sintering.
What are the product’s indications?
KATANA™ Zirconia ONE is used for the fabrication of all-ceramic restorations: anterior crowns, posterior crowns, inlay, onlays, veneers, bridges (“BRIDGE” block only), and frameworks.
