BURBANK DENTAL LAB / PRODUCTS / ZIRMAX ME Zirconia
Unmatched Strength
and Aesthetic Excellence
At Burbank Dental Lab, we understand that dentists demand materials that deliver exceptional strength without compromising aesthetics. ZIRMAX ME zirconia is engineered to meet these exacting standards. Combining multi-layered translucency with industry-leading strength, this zirconia ensures your patients receive restorations that are as durable as they are beautiful.
ZIRMAX ME features a proprietary multi-layered construction that mimics the natural gradation of a tooth. The layers transition seamlessly from high-opacity dentin to translucent enamel, ensuring restorations look natural in any lighting condition. Its high-density microstructure enhances durability and minimizes chipping and wear, even under high occlusal loads.
Dentists trust ZIRMAX ME zirconia for its reliability and versatility in various restorative applications. Here’s why it stands out:

Proper cementation of zirconia restorations is essential for their durability and performance. Here’s a concise guide to the recommended procedures:
Air-Abrasion – Before try-in, the internal surface of the zirconia restoration should be air-abraded to enhance micro-mechanical retention. This process increases the surface area for cement adhesion.
Fit Evaluation – Place the restoration to assess fit and make necessary adjustments.
MDP Primer Application – For adhesive cementation, apply a primer containing 10-methacryloyloxydecyl dihydrogen phosphate (MDP) to the cleaned internal surface. This primer enhances chemical bonding between the zirconia and resin cement. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for application and drying times.
Cement Selection – Choose the appropriate cement based on the preparation:
Application – Apply the selected cement to the internal surface of the restoration. Firmly seat the restoration onto the prepared tooth.
Excess Removal – Remove any excess cement promptly. For resin cement, a brief light cure (tack cure) can facilitate the easier removal of excess material.
Final Curing – Follow the cement manufacturer’s instructions for final curing, whether light-curing or allowing self-curing to complete.
Effective chairside adjustments and polishing are critical to ensure the restoration’s functionality, longevity, and aesthetic appeal. Below are essential tips to guide clinicians through the process:
Select fine-grit diamond burs for adjustments to minimize surface scratches. Avoid coarse-grit burs, as they can leave deep marks that are more difficult to polish.
Apply light and consistent pressure while working with rotary instruments to prevent material overheating or weakening. Excessive force can lead to damage. Use copious amounts of irrigation/water to not heat and crack the material while adjusting.
Start with coarse polishing tools to smooth out initial scratches, then progress to medium and fine polishers to achieve a glossy, smooth finish. This approach enhances both the functionality and appearance of the restoration.
Some polishing systems, such as those designed for zirconia restorations, work best without water. Ensure you follow the specific protocol for the material being adjusted.
After polishing, examine the restoration to confirm a smooth, uniform surface. A well-polished finish improves aesthetics and reduces plaque buildup and wear on opposing teeth.
Incorporating ZIRMAX ME Zirconia into your practice elevates the quality of care you provide. Patients benefit from functional restorations that are indistinguishable from their natural teeth.
ZIRMAX M and ZIRMAX ME zirconia are both high-quality zirconia materials offered by Burbank Dental Lab, but they serve different purposes based on the patient’s clinical needs.
