KATANA™ Zirconia ONE can be either wet or dry milled.

We recommend dry milling. It is possible to mill this product using wet milling, but wet milling may achieve a lower level of translucency than expected if cooling water is contaminated by silica-based glass ceramics (lithium disilicate glass, etc). It is possible to mill this product using wet milling with clean cooling water but tank cleaning and filter changing are necessary before beginning the milling process. Additionally, when wet milling, additional time is required to complete the sintering process, as a drying step is added into the process.

If using KATANA™ Zirconia ONE with other materials such as glass and resin blocks in the same machine, it is necessary to wash the milling chamber and filter, then replace the cooling liquid. Insufficient cleaning of the chamber or filter will result in restorations with inaccurate shade, lower translucency, or a chalky appearance.

We recommend using three separate tanks: 1. a dedicated glass ceramic cooling-water tank,
2. a water tank for flushing in between restorations, and 3. a dedicated zirconia cooling-water tank

If wet milling is used, a drying process for 10 minutes at 200 degrees is necessary.

Yes. You will need CEREC inLab CAM software version 22.1.1 / inLab CAM 22.2.0 or later is required.

Yes. You will need CEREC inLab CAM software version 22.5.0 or later is required.

Yes. General zirconia furnaces can be programmed to sinter KATANA™ Zirconia ONE. Please refer to the product Instruction for Use for details.

Scan the QR code with the Primemill by holding the image in front of the camera until the scan is confirmed as successful. If the scan fails, you can manually enter the block information on the touch interface.
The 7-character code, or Enlargement Factor is used to enter manually with MCX/L for material identification.

You may select up to 3 SPEED CROWNS/CROWNS or 1 BRIDGE.

Yes, it can be layered.

Once the restoration has completely cooled, you may conduct a try-in. If necessary, make any occlusal adjustments. Application of glaze is optional, but an additional glaze cycle in the furnace will be necessary with this option.

If necessary, make any occlusal adjustment by using a diamond bur or silicone points containing diamond particles. Use a copious spray of water or work on the prosthesis while it is wet. Be careful not to apply undue force, since this may cause a fracture, breakage or micro-cracks from local spot heating. Polish the restoration to smooth surfaces that have contact with the opposing dentition.

A thin, uniform coat of glaze may improve your restoration’s aesthetics. Apply sandblasting with gentle pressure
(2 bar with 50 micron alumina) to create surface texture. Clean the restoration. Secure the restoration on a peg with refractory paste. Apply CZR FC Paste Stain and Glaze. Choose the Glaze cycle on the SpeedFire. You have up to
2 glaze cycles programmed in the SpeedFire, if needed.

CERABIEN™ ZR FC Paste Stain.

It is possible to use other manufacturers’ universal low-fusing spray glaze.
Please follow the manufacturer’s Instructions for Use of the glaze material.

The SpeedFire furnace glaze time is approximately 8:40. Other furnace programs vary, but are generally <10 mins.

In cases with pre-sinter polish (material is in its green state), bur marks left by the manufacturing unit can be
smoothed prior to sintering. It is recommended to use silicone-free polishers. Polishing should be administered
with light pressure and low RPMs.

In cases of post-sinter polishing, upon making occlusal adjustments, polish the restoration with silicone points containing diamond particles, using three levels of polishing, starting from coarse to medium to fine. After that, with a zirconia polishing paste material (Pearl Surface Z, etc.), brush or buff the restoration.

It is recommended to use silicone-free polishers when pre-sinter polishing.

When polishing after sintering the restoration, it is recommended to use diamond impregnated polishers in order from coarse to medium to fine, or a polishing paste material containing diamond particles, such as Pearl Surface Z (Kuraray Noritake Dental Inc) for post-sinter polishing.

Over-polishing may result in a ‘pearly’ appearance.

It is possible to do this with CERABIEN™ ZR FC Paste Stain. There are up to 2 glaze cycles programmed in the SpeedFire, if needed.

It is recommended to use products designed for glazing zirconia. However, it is possible to use other manufacturers’ universal glaze. Please follow the manufacturer’s Instructions for Use of the glaze material.

No. Kuraray Noritake’s unique pigment technology for zirconia and multi-layering lets the user fabricate zirconia
restorations with natural color gradation and translucency close to those of natural teeth. As a result, you do not
need to add additional steps to your workflow.

The product itself does not have fluorescence, but it is possible to add fluorescence to the restoration with CERABIEN™ ZR FC Paste Stain, specifically Fluoro from FC paste Stain.

An MDP cement system is recommended for use with this product. PANAVIA™ SA Cement Universal,
PANAVIA™ V5, PANAVIA™ Veneer LC meet this criteria.
It is also possible to use various cements recommended for bonding with zirconia.
Please follow the cement manufacturer’s Instructions for Use.

If the prosthetic becomes contaminated during try-in, etc., it can be cleaned using the following method:
You can clean by rubbing KATANA™ Cleaner on both surfaces for 10 seconds each, washing with water and drying.

PANAVIA™ SA Cement Universal*: No treatment necessary.
If necessary, apply CLERFIL Universal Bond Quick 2* prior to the cementation with PANAVIA™ SA Cement Universal to enhance bond strength to tooth structure.
PANAVIA™ V5: Apply PANAVIA™ V5 Tooth Primer* and dry.

*Apply according to Instruction for Use of the each material.”

PANAVIA™ V5: After sandblasting and cleaning, apply CLEARFIL™ Ceramic Primer Plus, then dry.
PANAVIA™ SA Cement Universal: After sandblasting and cleaning, directly use the cementing technique
as indicated in the Instructions for Use.

Yes.

*Compared to conventional product, according to the verification of the CAD/CAM equipment’s manufacturer.

Sintering of zirconia is a thermal process in which loosely bound particles are densified into Zirconia crystal
under the influence of thermal energy.
Kuraray Noritake Dental Inc. has developed new zirconia powder that can reach a highly activated state with
little energy. It accelerates the sintering process, thereby achieving an ultra short sintering time of 9 minutes.

In general, reducing the sintering time is disadvantageous for translucency, but KATANA™ Zirconia ONE SPEED CROWN maintains the high translucency of KATANA™ Zirconia ONE (CROWN) by making the size of the crystals uniform, which decreases the generation of small crystals which is disadvantageous to translucency.

In general, large crystals are disadvantageous for strength.
Uniformly sized crystals of KATANA™ Zirconia ONE SPEED CROWN which decrease the the large crystals
can achieve higher strength.

Please refer to your furnace service manual for calibration and temperature tests.
You may also consult with your local CEREC® representative for information about DS Core Care which provides annual maintenance of your CEREC components, including calibration of your Speedfire oven.
