Description
DD Bio ZW iso is Dental Direkt's low-translucent (LT), high-strength 3Y-TZP monolithic zirconia milling disc. The fully sintered material reaches the highest flexural strength in the DD Bio family, making it the reference choice for long-span posterior frameworks, bridges and substructures where mechanical reliability is the priority. supplied as an uncolored White blank on a Ø 98 mm carrier for staining and dipping to any shade.
- 3Y-TZP (yttria-stabilised tetragonal zirconia) — Dental Direkt's strongest Bio-line chemistry
- low-translucent (LT) opacity — masks discoloured preparations and metal cores
- uncolored White blank — full freedom for the dip/liquid-staining technique
- Ø 98 mm open-system carrier — fits all common open-architecture milling units
- Indicated for crowns, multi-unit bridges, posterior frameworks and substructures
Why You’ll Love It
- You need maximum strength for long-span and posterior bridgework
- You prefer to shade chairside or in the lab with colouring liquids
- You run an open-system mill and want a dependable, economical White blank
