TOKYO, Japan: A particularly chromatic cervical area and pronounced mamelons and translucencies in the incisal area—every natural tooth has its characteristic optical features stemming from its inner structure. Unfortunately, imitating these specific effects by merely adding stains or liquid ceramics to the surface of a monolithic restoration has been quite difficult to achieve—until now.
With these difficulties in mind, Kuraray Noritake Dental has introduced Esthetic Colorant for KATANA Zirconia, a set of easy-to-use shading liquids that diffuse into the zirconia structure and enable imitation of variety of internal shade structures. Esthetic Colorant is an excellent choice for creating the initial characteristics of a restoration before the sintering procedure and, by doing so, laying the groundwork for the final fast and easy individualisation.

Esthetic Colorant has been specifically developed for the KATANA Zirconia multilayered series to complement the effects obtained from the materials’ multilayered colour structure. The system consists of 12 shading liquids, which have been optimised to maintain the original flexural strength of KATANA Zirconia restoration. After milling, the liquids are applied to the clean surface of a monolithic or anatomically reduced restoration with a metal-free brush, preferably the Liquid Brush Pen. Esthetic Colorant then diffuses into the zirconia, and the desired inner shade effects are fixed and revealed after the final sintering procedure. Finishing can be accomplished through a variety of techniques, including polishing, glazing and micro-layering.
The compact Esthetic Colorant line-up facilitates inventory management and helps dental professionals to reproduce the typical effects of natural teeth in a predictable way. Using the new Liquid Brush Pen for Esthetic Colorant, the application procedure is streamlined, as the dental technician is given full control over the amount of shading liquid applied.
