Colouring raw zircon
Colouring Green-State Zirconia – Zirconia Colouring Liquids and Special Brushes for Dental Technology
Natural tooth shades, controlled light blocking and individual shading start before sintering. The targeted colouring of green-state zirconia is an important part of aesthetic CAD/CAM dental technology and makes it possible to influence the optical properties of suitable zirconia restorations during fabrication.
In the Colouring Green-State Zirconia category at BRIEGELDENTAL you will find selected zirconia colouring liquids, opaquer liquids and special brushes for the professional processing of zirconia in the dental lab.
Whether for masking dark substructures, individually shading zirconia frameworks or precisely applying suitable colouring liquids – discover practical products for demanding dental workflows.
Products for Colouring Green-State Zirconia at a Glance
BRIEGELDENTAL offers two selected products for the targeted shading of zirconia:
- LightblockLiquid opaquer: Special zirconia opaquer liquid for light blocking and shade adjustment of suitable zirconia frameworks. Available in the variants Alex Mix and Christians Mix.
- ZirkoneinfärbePINSEL – MPF Zirconia Stain Brush: Metal-free special brush with synthetic bristles for the controlled application of zirconia colouring liquids and stains.
Both products complement each other in corresponding applications: while the LightblockLiquid supports the desired optical effect, the special brush enables targeted liquid application.
LightblockLiquid opaquer – Masking Dark Substructures
With translucent zirconia restorations, the colour of the underlying abutment can influence the overall aesthetic result.
Particularly dark or discoloured tooth stumps and titanium abutments place special demands on light blocking.
The LightblockLiquid opaquer from BRIEGELDENTAL was developed for the targeted increase of the opacity of suitable zirconia frameworks.
According to the product description, the liquid penetrates the zirconia without forming an additional layer.
This allows the optical effect of the zirconia framework to be influenced in a targeted manner before the restoration is sintered.
Alex Mix and Christians Mix – Two Variants for Different Shade Results
The LightblockLiquid is available in two variants:
Alex Mix – for a white-opaque result
Alex Mix is designed for pronounced light blocking. According to the manufacturer, the clear liquid and the coloured solution are mixed in a 1:1 ratio.
After up to three brush applications, a white-opaque appearance can be achieved.
This variant is suitable for corresponding applications where significant brightening and neutralisation of dark substructures is desired.
Christians Mix – for natural A2–A3 shading
Christians Mix is intended for shading the zirconia framework in the A2 to A3 range.
It combines a natural base shade with light-blocking properties, offering a further option for aesthetic design.
Which variant is used depends on the initial situation, the zirconia material used and the desired shade result.
ZirkoneinfärbePINSEL for Precise Colouring Work
Controlled liquid application is particularly important when colouring green-state zirconia.
The MPF Zirconia Stain Brush, available at BRIEGELDENTAL as the ZirkoneinfärbePINSEL, was specially developed for corresponding work with zirconia stains.
Its features include:
- Metal-free construction with plastic handle and plastic ferrule
- Synthetic bristles for the controlled uptake and release of liquids
- Corrosion-resistant design for suitable water-based and acidic solutions
- Precise application for targeted colouring work on zirconia
- Different sizes and set variants to choose from
The special brush supports the controlled application of suitable colouring liquids and can be used to individualise zirconia restorations.
Colouring Green-State Zirconia Before Sintering
With systems intended for this purpose, zirconia is coloured before the final sintering process.
Colouring liquids and light-blocking liquids can be applied in a targeted manner to suitable areas of the restoration.
For a material-appropriate workflow, the following points should be considered:
- Check material compatibility: The liquid must be suitable for the zirconia used and the intended processing state.
- Prepare surfaces: Remove milling dust and contamination in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Select the right colouring liquid: Take into account the desired base shade, light blocking and subsequent optical effect.
- Use suitable brushes: Use clean special brushes intended for the liquid.
- Observe application and drying: Follow the product instructions regarding the number of applications, mixing ratios and, where applicable, drying times.
- Consider sintering specifications: The further procedure must be coordinated with the zirconia material and the colouring system used.
The final shade result can be influenced by the zirconia material, wall thickness, substructure and sintering process, among other factors.
Individualising Aesthetic Zirconia Restorations
Modern dental technology places high demands on the natural appearance of zirconia restorations.
In addition to shape, surface texture and translucency, matching the base shade to the respective restoration is decisive.
With suitable zirconia colouring liquids and special brushes, corresponding colouring work can be integrated into the digital manufacturing process.
The LightblockLiquid opaquer offers a solution for special opacity requirements, while the ZirkoneinfärbePINSEL supports the precise processing of suitable liquids.
