Opalite - Generation II
Opalite™ is monolithic zirconia and requires much less preparation space than traditional crowns, and is also far more aesthetic than traditional PFM restorations. Every dentist has experienced challenging situations with bruxers and grinders. With an exceptional flexural strength of 1100MPa Opalite™ restorations are virtually clinically unbreakable. Opalite™ all-zirconia crowns and bridges are designed digitally and milled from zirconia using CAD/CAM technology before being polished to a smooth finish with a similar lustre to a full gold crown for minimal abrasion.
