Material Diversity
A matter of honor
Just as carpenters carefully choose the best wood for the job, matching shades, textures, and other properties, dental technicians must choose the most suitable material for the best possible patient solution. Not all the raw materials available on the market are of the same quality. While it is possible that from an objective point of view, using the best available material is not always necessary, the question of which material quality to choose for customers and patients is rather an expression of personal attitude and appreciation.
Slowness – wood that grows slowly, forming narrow
growth rings; strength and physical properties grow
along with them.
We Assume Responsibility For Everything
When manufacturing our products, we put all our efforts into quality, precision, easy handling, and smart solutions at a fair price. Materials, elaboration tools, CAD/CAM systems, software, and sintering furnaces – we develop and manufacture all the components necessary for the creation of a high-quality dental restoration here in South Tyrol. We know the raw materials used, the properties, the technical possibilities, and the interferences by heart. This is important to us because it is the only way we can ideally coordinate all components with each other, precisely control the results and guarantee the quality of our products. All our products comply with international quality standards and guidelines.
Zirconium (ZrSiO4) is a mineral that was created up
to 4.4 billion years ago. It is the earth’s oldest known
mineral. It is also the material from which zirconium
dioxide (ZrO2), commonly known as zirconia, is
obtained: a high-performance ceramic for the
production of dental restorations.
ZIRCONIA
PRETTAU® – THE MOST
EXPENSIVE
Without zirconia, there would be no Zirkonzahn. Strongly convinced of the base properties of this material, I decided to make the best of it for us dental technicians. To achieve that, much more was necessary than initially thought – premium raw materials, expensive manufacturing and cleaning processes, colouring concepts, processing tools, milling strategies once manual and now digital, sintering furnaces and consistently new solutions. But we never gave up.
The Prettau® Bridge has been used for patients all over the world for 10 years now. We are persistently pushing the path of our Prettau® zirconia towards monolithic design. Our Prettau® Dispersive® zirconia types are provided with a smooth, natural colour transition.
In order to achieve a particularly smooth shade transition after the sintering process from dentine to enamel, it is important that the colours are not blended into layers but dispersed evenly during the manufacturing process. Prettau® – a name deeply connected to my South Tyrolean homeland. A commitment and a promise at the same time. Zirconia is and remains our passion – and our pride.
For The Clients You Value.
PRETTAU® The Most Expensive
Natural appearance, stability, wearing comfort, and excellent biocompatibility – zirconia meets all the demands of high quality and long-lasting restorations. However, not all zirconia materials are the same. For our quality zirconia, we use only the highest quality raw materials. The special manufacturing technology ensures special purity, low porosity, and uniform shrinkage. This is an essential prerequisite for the perfect fit of subsequent tooth restoration.
PRETTAU® ZIRCONIA
All Prettau® zirconia materials are ideal for use in cases where space is limited, or where implant-supported restorations or restorations with gingiva reconstruction are required. Experience has shown that Prettau® zirconia materials harmonize excellently with natural tissue, which is why missing gingival tissue parts can be designed very well. Prettau® materials are non-abrasive to the antagonist when densely sintered. The material properties also permit monolithic design, which means that ceramic chipping can be avoided.
Prettau®, our zirconia classic, combines aesthetics with high flexural strength (1200 MPa). The high flexural strength remains unchanged even after simulated ten-year ageing (Bergler, MDT, University of Pennsylvania, 2016). Restorations can be left unveneered in the posterior region, minimal veneering with ceramics is sufficient in the anterior region. The manual colouring technique with Colour Liquid Prettau® Aquarell and Intensive colours as well as the use of ICE Zirkon Ceramics and Stains result in a high degree of individualisation. The results are long-lasting, aesthetic and patient-individual full zirconia restorations.

PRETTAU® 2 & PRETTAU® 2 DISPERSIVE®
Exceptional bending strength and excellent translucency have been successfully combined in this material. Thanks to its special combination of properties, Prettau® 2 is ideal for monolithic circular restorations. The translucency values allow monolithic design both in the anterior and posterior regions. Ceramic chipping can therefore be avoided. The colouring can be individualised with staining liquids and colours. Prettau® 2 Dispersive® is already provided with a natural colour transition during the manufacturing process, the manual colouring with stains is therefore not necessary, but can be carried out if desired.
COLOURS:
- Prettau® 2: White, can be characterised individually by manual colouring.
- Prettau® 2 Dispersive®: Pre-Coloured with natural colour transition, restorations can be refined by manual accentuation.

PRETTAU® 4 ANTERIOR® & PRETTAU® 4 ANTERIOR® DISPERSIVE®
With its excellent translucency properties, Prettau® 4 Anterior® was specially designed for use in the anterior region, but it can also be used in the entire jaw area. With the comparatively high flexural strength values (600MPa), it represents an ideal alternative to lithium disilicate for up to three-unit restorations. The flexural strength remains constant even after simulated ten-year ageing (Bergler, MDT, University of Pennsylvania, 2018) The material allows fully anatomical design in the anterior and posterior region and thus is a guarantor against ceramic chipping. Restorations made of Prettau® 4 Anterior® can be individually coloured with the new Colour Liquid Prettau® 4 Anterior® Aquarell and thus provided with particularly vibrant luminosity. The polychromatic Prettau® 4 Anterior® Dispersive® is provided with a smooth, natural colour transition already during the sintering process. After sintering, a smooth, merging colour pattern is created from dentine to enamel. If desired, the colouring can be individualised manually.
COLOURS:
- Prettau® 4 Anterior®: White; can be characterised individually by manual colouring
- Prettau® 4 Anterior® Dispersive®: Pre-coloured with natural colour transition, restorations can be refined by manual accentuation.

Attention: No medical device!
The forerunners of today’s plastics or artificial resins existed in all cultures, long before the industrial revolution. In 1531, an Augsburg priest used a complicated procedure to create artificial horn from skim cheese, which was used for the production of drinking vessels and jewelry.
RESIN
The use of resin provisionals is the method of choice when it comes to quality control and patient satisfaction. They can be used both as an immediate restoration and as an important control step for the fabrication of the final restorations. They ensure planning reliability during the manufacture of each restoration and can be realized quickly and easily with the CAD/CAM system and different resin materials by Zirkonzahn. The patient wears the provisional to check fitting, functionality and aesthetics.
Resin provisionals can be aesthetically designed with veneer resins in the gingival area. In this way, both dentist and patient are able to get an immediate aesthetic impression of the final restoration already with the provisional. In addition, the patient is provided with an aesthetically pleasing resin temporary until the final restoration is ready.
Multistratum® Flexible®
PRIME
With its improved material properties, the Prime resin is particularly characterized by its high fracture stability and good translucency values. This makes the material suitable for a wide range of secondary and tertiary structures and it can be used as a short and long-term temporary. The transparent Prime Transpa resin can be used for bite splints. Due to the resin’s flexibility, slightly diverging insertion directions can be compensated.

SCREW BLANK
With special milling burs for threads, zirconia structures can be provided with screw channel threads for the simple and clean insertion into the patient’s mouth. For sealing, the appropriate sealing screws are milled from the Screw Blank material. The sealing screws also exert uniform counterpressure on the implant seat, which provides additional stability for implant-supported restorations. To remove the restoration, the dentist loosens the resin screws with an extractor fixed to the turbine. The screw channel remains intact and can be sealed easily using new resin threads when reinserting the restoration.

MODEL BLANK
With the CAD/CAM Model Maker software module, different models (e.g. Geller models, models with implant analogs, dies, full-arch bridges) can be digitally created and articulated using intraoral scan data as well as impression scans or model scans. In the software, it is possible to combine different model types with each other and to select a variety of base plates. The realization of the CAD planning data is carried out in the Zirkonzahn milling units with Model Blanks. These are available in different sizes depending on the milling unit. With the extra-large Model Blank M4 (39 x 17 cm) up to 20 full-arch bridges can be manufactured in one milling process in the M4 Wet Heavy Metal milling unit. Precise production is a prerequisite for the accuracy of the models. Short milling times and a high manufacturing precision can be achieved with the Zirkonzahn CAD/CAM system by marking those areas on the digital 3D model that need to be worked out with particular precision. In other areas, large quantities of material can be quickly removed with the CAD/CAM 6 T PMMA milling bur.
COLOURS AND INDICATIONS
Beige resin for manufacturing models on the basis of intraoral scan data as well as impression scans or model scans

According to Greek mythology, Daedalus, father of Icarus, created wings from feathers and wax and
attached them to his and his son’s arms so they
could fly like the birds. However, Icarus came too
close to the sun, which melted the wax; he crashed
and drowned in the sea.
WAX
Wax can be used to create inlays, onlays, single crowns, and even multi-unit bridges for casting technique or pressing technique. Wax is not a medical device; the waxes vary in terms of hardness and finishing properties. The harder a wax, the stiffer; the softer a wax, the easier it is to elaborate. Thanks to their low melting interval, wax burns off without residue.
INDICATIONS
For the manufacturing of partial and single crowns, inlays, Onlays, veneers, multi-unit to full-arch bridges for casting technique or pressing technique

Attention: No medical device!
Already periods of prehistory and early history are
named after metals with Bronze Age and Iron Age.
This illustrates the outstanding importance of robust
materials for the development of mankind and
technical progress.
METAL
With the arrival of the CAD/CAM technology it became possible to design also metals more efficiently in the own laboratory. The process of titanium in particular was extremely time-consuming over a long time. Today structures made of sintered metal, cobalt-chrome or titanium can be manufactured in a large variety. The advantages of the materials can be used particularly we in combination with aesthetic materials such as zirconia, resin or ceramics.
SINTERMETALL
The Cobalt-Chrome blanks (non-precious metal) are highly pre-compressed and slightly sintered, which enables the milling of all dental restorations using a pre-sintered material. The material has a shrinkage factor of just 7 %, which makes the torsional stability during the sintering process very high. All dental restorations can be sintered with a total lack of stress and are swing-free. The specially developed sintering technology with high vacuum enables sintering without shielding gas and residual oxidation.
COLOURS
Basic colour metallic, can be galvanised optionally with the Metal Colourizer
INDICATIONS
Dimensionally stable Sintermetall for the manufacturing of single crowns up to 14-unit bridges, metal structures, telescopes, bars, dowels and attachments; removable, partially removable or fixed restoration type
PROCESSING
- Processing steps: CAM dry processing, manual elaboration, sintering without shielding gas, layering with metal ceramics or galvanisation (optional), high gloss polishing, cementation or screwing
- Processing tools: CAD/CAM Milling Burs Sintermetall, tungsten-carbide burs
CHROM-COBALT & CHROM-COBALT SOFT
The metal alloy Chrom-Cobalt is at the same time hard and elastic, therefore it is particularly suited for the manufacture of delicate structures, metal frameworks that can be veneered with ceramics, dental restorations with friction elements, or telescopic partial dentures. Especially the slightly softer Chrom-Cobalt Soft material can be recommended for restorations with friction elements. Already existing structures can be easily connected or expanded with basic parts using soldering or laser technology.
COLOUR

- Processing tools: CAD/CAM Milling Burs CrCo, tungsten-carbide burs
TITAN 5
Titanium combines material hardness with low weight and is therefore used in a wide variety of applications, e.g. in aerospace technology. The material is considered very health-friendly and it is also used in medicine for many years now, especially in implant surgery. This is due to the corrosion resistance of the material and the naturally emerging oxide layer on the surface, which, among others, favours the solid growth of the bone on the implant (osseointegration). These properties are also used in dental technology. Our Titan 5 (titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V ELI according to ASTM F136; DIN EN ISO 5832-3) is suitable for the fabrication of stabilizing substructures such as titanium bases, bars or metal frameworks. Using the Titanium Spectral-Colouring Anodized or the Metal Colourizer, titanium structures can be anodised in the desired colour (e.g. golden). Thus, the grey value of the titanium is reduced and the primary structures are less visible under zirconia abutments.
COLOURS
Basic colour metallic can be anodised in different colours (e.g. golden)
INDICATIONS
- Titanium blanks: For the manufacturing of reduced or fully anatomic metal frameworks for veneering with ceramics as well as for bar constructions; frictionally removable, partially removable or fixed restoration type
