Dentsply Ceramco 3 Opaque 1Oz Dental Lab Porcelain

Dentsply Ceramco 3 Opaque – 1 oz

Dentsply Ceramco 3 Opaque is part of a complete feldspathic porcelain system developed specifically for metal-based restorations. It combines excellent esthetic performance with ease of modeling and high thermal stability, making it a reliable and efficient choice for dental laboratory applications.

Ceramco 3 porcelains feature a fine-grain structure and organic pigments that deliver natural fluorescence closely resembling natural dentition. The system is compatible with both precious and non-precious alloys and offers excellent resistance to discoloration, including when used with silver-containing alloys.

Its high-potassium feldspathic formulation provides superior thermal stability compared to low-potassium systems, enabling predictable firing behavior and greater individual control. This flexibility supports consistent results for crowns and bridges, even in restorations with limited space.
