DIAMOND CROWN

DiamondCrown is a unique biomimetic micro-crystalline PEX based system, unlike BisGMA and UDMA systems, which are amorphous in structure and inherently brittle. The crystalline structure of all DIAMOND products offers properties similar to a natural tooth such as macro-toughness and micro-elasticity with a wear rate similar to a natural tooth of 3 microns per year. To take full advantage of this innovation it is highly recommended to use the DiamondBond Adhesive System and DiamondLink (Luting Agent and flowable dual-cured composite).

DiamondCrown is indicated for direct restorations and indirect prosthodontic applications such as crowns, bridges, veneers and inlays and onlays as well as implant superstructures. DiamondCrown is available in the 16 Vita shades plus various incisal effects and characterisation stains.

There are also 9 various opacities ranging from the "metal opaquing powder/liquid" (opacifying unit =100), through to "incisal transparent" (opacifying unit =5). This gives the clinician chair-side, or the laboratory technician a wide range of shades and characterisation possibilities, all light cured chair-side and laboratory.

The light cured nature of the entire range means that adding to material is simple chair-side. Set up costs to laboratories is minimal but suitable training in polyceramic material is required.
