Frequently Asked Questions
What are AGKEM Star Zirconia SHT Multi Layer Blanks?
AGKEM Star Zirconia SHT Multi Layer Blanks are dental ceramic materials featuring a multi-layer configuration for aesthetic dental restorations. They combine 1050 MPa reported flexural strength, 47–49% translucency, and tested biological properties for compatible dental applications.
What does SHT Multi Layer mean in zirconia blanks?
SHT commonly refers to Super High Translucency, while Multi Layer describes the material's layered configuration. Multi-layer zirconia is generally intended to support aesthetic restorations, although the supplied specifications do not describe the exact shade gradient or number of layers.
What is the advantage of multi-layer zirconia blanks?
Multi-layer zirconia blanks are generally designed to provide aesthetic variation within a single disc, potentially reducing additional characterization steps. However, the specific shade transitions and layer structure of AGKEM Star SHT Multi Layer Blanks are not detailed in the supplied specifications.
What is the difference between SHT Multi Layer and regular SHT Zirconia Blanks?
The primary distinction is the multi-layer configuration of SHT Multi Layer Blanks, which is intended for aesthetic restoration applications. The previously supplied regular SHT and current SHT Multi Layer test data report the same 1050 MPa strength and 47–49% translucency, so a performance difference cannot be established from those figures alone.
Who & why should consider purchasing Star Zirconia SHT Multi Layer Blanks?
These blanks are suitable for dental labs, CAD/CAM milling centers, dental technicians, and dental prosthesis manufacturers producing compatible zirconia restorations. They are particularly relevant for dental labs focused on aesthetic anterior dental applications.
AGKEM Star Zirconia SHT Multi Layer Blanks combine 1050 MPa reported flexural strength, 47–49% translucency, 1293 HV hardness, and 6.03 g/cm³ sintered density. Their multi-layer configuration, available disc thicknesses, and reported biological test results make them a material option for aesthetic dental CAD/CAM workflows.
