503.238.6006Artisan Dental Laboratory designs and fabricates the finest all ceramic restorations. We understand the importance of blending your patient’s restoration with surrounding dentition to produce a natural looking restorative product so that your patient is satisfied with their new lifelike smile.
Z 360 – 5 Days In Lab
Z 360 is a monolithic crown and bridge restoration manufactured with a 4Y multi-layer zirconia with a flexural strength of 1150MPa and 45% translucency. Ideally suited for posterior restorations, it can be used in the anterior region when strength is preferred over esthetics. CAD/CAM technology ensures precise fit, contacts, and occlusion while Z 360’s stained and glazed finish limits plaque accumulation and enhances its esthetic value.
Single-unit, full coverage restorations and short/long-span bridges anywhere in the arch.
Restorations matching teeth with significant gingival/incisal shade variation, prominent incisal translucency, or bridge connectors h² x w < 27mm².

Shoulder preparation not needed. A mild champfer or a feather edge margin is good. 1mm buccal, lingual and occlusal reduction is ideal, but can go to .5mm in some areas, when reduction is limited.
Minimum occlusal reduction of 0.5 mm; 1 mm is ideal.
Adjustments and polishing: Adjust Full-contour zirconia crowns and bridges using water and air spray to keep the restoration cool and to avoid micro-fractures with a fine grit diamond. If using air only, use the lightest touch possible when making adjustments. A football-shaped bur is the most effective for occlusal and lingual surfaces (on anterior teeth); a tapered bur is the ideal choice for buccal and lingual surfaces.
Polish Full-contour zirconia restorations with the porcelain polishing system of your choice.
Resin Ionomer cement (RelyX or RelyX Unicem, 3M ESPE)
Maxcem Elite (Kerr)
Panavia F 2.0 (Kuraray) -ideal for short, tapered preparations
Glass ionomer cement (GC Fuji, GC America)
Layered Z 360 – 7 Days In Lab
Layered Z360 restorations are 4Y zirconia copings and frameworks veneered via conventionally layered porcelain build-up. These restorations exhibit excellent shade accuracy and can achieve secondary optical properties necessary to match natural dentition. Conventionally cementable. Indicated for single and multi-unit full coverage restorations anywhere in the arch. When porcelain is in function, we recommend it for cuspids and incisors only. Layered Z360 can be fabricated with facial or buccal porcelain only.
Single crowns, implant crowns, up to 6 unit bridges, hypoallergenic, dark preps.
ong span bridges over 6 units, feather or bevel preps.

The ideal preparation for PFZs is a chamfer margin preparation. If a porcelain labial margin is prescribed, then a shoulder margin preparation is required.
Feather-edge margin preparations are indicated for full-cast restorations.

STZ (Super Translucent Zirconia) – 5 Days In Lab
Monolithic restorations fabricated from a 5Y multi-layer zirconia with a flexural strength of 850 MPa and 50% translucency. It is indicated for single unit crowns and 3-unit bridges anywhere in the arch. We recommend it for use 2nd pre-molar forward. Esthetics and translucency are comparable to monolithic pressed ceramics. Conventionally cementable when recommended reduction can be achieved. Suggest adhesive cementation when recommended reduction not achieved or for posterior restorations. Please provide dentin shade for anterior restorations.
Great alternative to e.max®.
Minimal preparation, bridges, bruxism, metal allergies.
Bevel preps, custom shades.

Lithium Disilicate – 7 Days In Lab
This material was developed to meet the demands of cosmetic dentistry. This all ceramic material enables clinicians to provide their patients the beauty of all porcelain restorations with twice the strength. Great for cases with multiple types of restorations-crowns, veneers, inlays, onlays.
Highly esthetic and translucent applications, up to 3-unit anterior bridges.
Parafunctional activity (severe bruxing and clenching), bridges, feather and bevel preps.

Anterior full-coverage crowns require a chamfer or shoulder margin. A circular shoulder is prepared with rounded inner edges or a chamfer at an angle of 10-30°: the width of the shoulder/chamfer is approx. 1 mm. Facial reduction is 1.5 – 2 mm; 1 – 1.5 mm lingual contact clearance. Incisal reduction is 1.5 – 2 mm with rounded internal line angles, and an incisal edge at least 1mm wide to permit optimum milling of the incisal edge during CAD/CAM processing.
Posterior full-coverage crown requires a chamfer or shoulder margin. A circular shoulder is prepared with rounded inner edges or a chamfer at an angle of 10-30°: the width of the shoulder/chamfer is approx. 1 mm. Occlusal reduction is 1.5 – 2 mm: axial reduction (buccal, lingual and interproximal) is 1.5 mm with rounded internal line angles.
Lithium dislicate restorations can be either cemented using a resin reinforced glass ionimer such as Relyx Luting cement. Or bonded using a resin cement, when extra strength is needed due to lack of retention on the prep, use a resin cement such as Relyx Unicem or Relyx Ultimate.
