Description
DD Bio ZX2 Color is the pre-shaded version of Dental Direkt's high-translucent (HT) 3Y-TZP monolithic zirconia. Each disc is homogeneously coloured through the full blank to a defined tooth shade, removing the dipping step and delivering consistent, reproducible colour straight from the mill. The 3Y chemistry keeps full-contour crowns and bridges strong while the HT optics give a lifelike result.
- pre-shaded HT 3Y-TZP — homogeneous colour through the entire blank, no dipping
- Reproducible, lab-consistent shade results straight off the mill
- Full-contour crowns and bridges, anterior and posterior
- Ø 98 mm open-system carrier
- 3Y strength for dependable multi-unit restorations
Why You’ll Love It
- You want to skip the colouring-liquid step and save chairside/lab time
- You need reproducible shade consistency across cases
- You want HT esthetics with 3Y strength in a pre-shaded blank
