DUCERAM® Plus Porcelain

This exeptional porcelain brings restorations to a brilliant finish. Count on its warm chroma and high vitality to geve you the definition you've been searching for:
-Precise shading regardless of the thickness/layers of porcelain
-Natural white fluorescence
-Ease of handling
-Precise control of materials placement
-Perfect reproduction of natural opalescence in incisals. Sets are designed around   the requirements of laboratories

Duceram Plus® metal-ceramics are a further development of Duceram metal-ceramics which have been proven clinically and aesthetically since 1985 in everyday use in laboratories. Apart from such properties as:

Uncritical when applied to all high fusing alloys with coefficients of thermal expansion of 13.8 - 15.4 ľm/mˇK due to linearized thermal expansion.
Will not discolour when applied to low price, high silver-content alloys.
Due to their low sinter point, they can be combined with phosphate bonded die materials for fabricating inlays.
All batches are of constant quality due to the continuous quality assurance checks.

 

 

 

 

DUCERAM® LFC Porcelain

Compatible with most conventional porcelain, Duceram® LFC fuses at a low temperature of 1235 °F - 1250 °F (668 °C - 676 °C). Fire LFC onto a thin coping or a layer of conventional porcelain. Return the restoration to the master model for completion and fire on a soft sagger tray. There is no need for additional models.

Duceram® LFC maintains its stablity after repeated firings. Its superior strength over conventional porcelains makes this product an asset in any laboratory. Margins, glazed crowns and post-soldered connections may be adjusted quidkly and easily.

Duceram® LFC material is a special dental ceramic with an extremely low firing temperature.

Depending on the type of furnace used, Duceram LFC is fired at approximately 660°C.

The TEC (25-500°C) of the LFC material corresponds to that of Duceram metal ceramic which means that both materials are compatible.

Duceram LFC® fulfills all requirements as set out in the DIN and ISO standards.

Some properties of LFC even exceed those of common dental ceramic materials.

LFC is a patented revolutionary system. Duceram LFC® material has surprisingly high density and thus excellent surface structure, extremely good light dispersion and transparancy which make for fascinating vitality and brilliance of the ceramic. In addition, Duceram LFC® is not affected by multiple fiirings.

 

 

 

 

Duceragold® KISS


Nothing is easier than to make things complicated. Nothing is more difficult than to make things simple. Simplicity, not complexity, is the true path to progress.

Ten years ago, we successfully took the first major step towards simplification with the GoldenGate System. Suddenly it was possible to meet all the different demands, functional and aesthetic, within a single system. But things can get simpler still. Our most recent development, Duceragold KISS, reduces the number of porcelain powders by almost half.

Therefore now you need only 73 ceramic powders. Duceragold KISS sets new standards in functionality. And if you thought that this can only work at the expense of beauty, you will be pleasantly surprised by a greater elevated level of shade reliability. But how is it possible to reduce the number of different ceramic powders by almost 50% from the usual 110-120, without sacrificing quality?

Using the following 3 solutions:

First of all, with new pigmentation of the dentine and opaque powders. In this way the need for intensifiers when layering basic V-Shades is eliminated, except in individual cases.
Secondly, by categorising intensifiers and incisal powders more specifically.
The third point is the development of a new kind of didactics, which intelligently combines shades, effects and materials.

The complete new system fits into one design case -as you can see. And it will let you perform 100% of the work - as you will see.
