Not All Zirconia Blanks are Created Equal

October 25, 2018  /  Katie Holland

At Adelaide Laboratories we mill crowns and bridges using Zirconia blanks. However, not all zirconia blanks are created equal.

One of the main drivers for us in investing in our Amann Girrbach milling machines was to be able to ensure the quality of the zirconia we are using in our work. Adelaide Laboratories only uses Amann Girrbach zirconia blanks. The blanks are made in a production facility in Austria using 100% Tosoh powder which is the highest quality zirconia from Japan. It is not diluted. So if Adelaide Laboratories is milling your zirconia, you know you are getting the highest quality, strongest zirconia on the market. 

If you come and visit us at the lab you will be able to see for yourself. The blanks are branded ‘Ceramill’ to distinguish them in the market from cheaper knock offs.

Quality and transparency… two of our favourite words at Adelaide Labs.
