About

3M Lava™ Plus High Translucency Zirconia is the next generation of Lava™ Frame Zirconia that has proven its reliability in more than 10 years of clinical history. The Lava™ Plus System is designed to enable unprecedented Lava™ Zirconia esthetics with uncompromised strength. Esthetics is determined by the viewing light, the observer and finally the optical properties of the restoration: Restorations reflect, scatter or absorb part of the viewing light while the remainder is transmitted. Theses optical properties depend on the surface texture, the chemical composition and the microstructure of the materials used. Simplified one can say that the potential of a restoration material to mimic tooth structure is determined by its color and translucency. Lava™ Plus is a complete zirconia restoration system offering a high translucency combined with a unique shading solution for full color control.
