Frequently Asked Questions
What are AGKEM Star Zirconia ST Blanks?
AGKEM Star Zirconia ST Blanks are dental ceramic materials designed for CAD/CAM milling and fabrication of zirconia restorations. They offer a combination of mechanical strength, translucency, and tested biological properties for compatible dental applications.
What is the Vickers hardness & Chemincal Solubility of Star Zirconia ST Blanks?
AGKEM Star Zirconia ST Blanks have a reported Vickers hardness of 1293 HV, compared with a reference value of 1200 HV. This demonstrates high surface hardness under the specified test conditions.
The reported chemical solubility is 63 μg/cm², compared with the listed reference value of 100 μg/cm². This indicates compliance with the chemical solubility criterion provided in the specifications.
Why is flexural strength important in dental zirconia blanks?
Flexural strength indicates how well a material resists bending stress before failure. The reported 1050 MPa flexural strength is an important property when evaluating zirconia for dental restorations subjected to mechanical forces.
What is the difference between ST and SHT Zirconia Blanks?
ST commonly refers to Super Translucent, while SHT commonly refers to Super High Translucent. However, the previously supplied ST and SHT test tables both report 47–49% translucency and 1050 MPa flexural strength, so a measurable performance difference cannot be established from those figures alone.
Who & why should consider purchasing AGKEM Star Zirconia ST Blanks?
These blanks are relevant to dental labs, CAD/CAM milling centers, dental technicians, and dental prosthesis manufacturers working with zirconia materials. Their reported strength, translucency, and biological test results provide useful information for evaluating material suitability.
AGKEM Star Zirconia ST Blanks combine 1050 MPa reported flexural strength, 47–49% translucency, 1293 HV hardness, and 6.03 g/cm³ sintered density. Their reported chemical and biological test results make them a material option for compatible dental CAD/CAM restoration workflows.
