rainbow™ Shade is a pre-sintered zirconia(Y-TZP) block for fabrication of single-tooth and bridgework restoration.
Device Story
rainbow™ Shade is a pre-sintered zirconia (Y-TZP) ceramic block used in dental laboratories. The device is milled into tooth cores using CAD/CAM or manual milling machines; subsequently fired in a furnace to achieve final hardness. The hardened core is then layered with porcelain to create a finished dental restoration. Used by dental professionals to fabricate single-tooth or bridgework prostheses. The device provides a durable, biocompatible structural foundation for dental crowns and bridges, restoring patient oral function and aesthetics.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. Performance testing included biocompatibility (ISO 10993-5, -10, -11, -3) confirming non-toxicity and non-sensitization. Bench testing per ISO 6872 evaluated visual, size, uniformity, radioactivity, chemical solubility (0µg/cm²), flexural strength (913MPa), linear thermal expansion, and low-temperature degradation. All results met established criteria.
Technological Characteristics
Pre-sintered zirconia (Y-TZP) ceramic block. Non-sterile. Flexural strength: 913MPa. Sintering density: 6g/cm³. Radioactivity: 0.01Bq/kg. Chemical solubility: 22.65µg/cm². Complies with ISO 6872 (Dentistry - Ceramic materials) and ISO 10993 (Biocompatibility).
Indications for Use
Indicated for fabrication of single-tooth and bridgework dental restorations in patients requiring prosthetic treatment.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
Porcelain powder for clinical use is a device consisting of a mixture of kaolin, felspar, quartz, or other substances intended for use in the production of artificial teeth in fixed or removable dentures, of jacket crowns, facings, and veneers. The device is used in prosthetic dentistry by heating the powder mixture to a high temperature in an oven to produce a hard prosthesis with a glass-like finish.
