Detailed Specs & Benefits of KATANA™ Zirconia UTML
KATANA™ Zirconia UTML
With 51% light transmittance—matching lithium disilicate LT—KATANA™ Zirconia UTML allows natural tooth shades to shine through, creating lifelike anterior restorations, including veneers, without sacrificing strength.
Features & Benefits
Optimized for Anterior Restorations
Engineered with a predominantly cubic crystal structure, UTML is the expert choice for veneers, inlays/onlays, and anterior crowns, delivering exceptional optical properties and true-to-life results.
Multi-Layered Color Structure
Four seamlessly integrated layers replicate the natural color gradient of enamel and dentin, eliminating visible transition lines and enhancing esthetic outcomes.
Minimal Wall Thickness for Conservative Prep
Allows ultra-thin veneers at 0.4 mm and anterior crowns at 0.8 mm, enabling minimally invasive tooth preparations while maintaining structural integrity.
Fast Sintering Capability
Can be sintered in as little as 54 or 90 minutes for single-tooth restorations and small bridges, accelerating turnaround without compromising esthetics or strength.
Compatible with Advanced Finishing Techniques
Ideal for ultra-micro-layering with CERABIEN™ ZR FC Paste Stain or minimal vestibular cutback for enhanced surface characterization.
