"Hey, doc, have you got a minute to learn about the latest innovation from Kuraray Noritake Dental? It's the Katana Zirconia One for Implant block.
"This block has 2-in-1 versatility, meaning you can mill an abutment and have a traditional cement-retained crown on top, or you can mill an all-in-one screw-retained crown.
"The aesthetics are fantastic, because the zirconia is in four gradient layers. This product is available in all 10 classical Vita shades, A1 to D4. The strength, as you would expect from zirconia, is fantastic, 932 MPa. This material pairs perfectly with Panavia cement to attach your tie base.
