When a dental laboratory purchases zirconia blanks, the specifications on the box only tell part of the story.

In daily production, laboratories also need to consider how consistently the blank mills, how the material behaves during sintering, and whether the results remain consistent from batch to batch.

This is how we approach zirconia manufacturing at Zotion.

We manufacture dental zirconia blanks for CAD/CAM workflows and supply them to dental laboratories and distributors in different markets. Our product range includes different blank formats, strength levels, translucency options, shades, and multilayer structures.

When comparing zirconia suppliers, it is useful to look at more than a single strength or translucency value.

What We Manufacture

Our dental zirconia blanks are available in several material configurations.

White zirconia:HT / ST;

Monolayer colored zirconia:HTC / STC;

3D multilayer zirconia:ATM / STM / TATM / TSTM(TATM & TSTM made of Japan Tosoh powder)

4D Pro zirconia

Components
ZrO2+HfO2+Y2O3	≥99%
Y2O3	≤6.0%
Al2O3	<0.5%
Other Oxides	<0.5%

 

 

 

Available Blank Formats

Zotion supplies zirconia blanks in different CAD/CAM formats, including:

Format	Typical Application
D98	Open CAD/CAM systems
D95	Zirkonzahn-related workflows
AG71	Amann Girrbach-related workflows

 

If you are not sure which blank you need, send us your milling machine model and current blank size. We can check the specifications with you before you place an order.

From Zirconia Blank to Finished Restoration

A typical laboratory workflow includes:

Select the appropriate blank

↓

CAD design

↓

CAM nesting and compensation

↓

Milling

↓

Cleaning

↓

Sintering

↓

Staining / Glazing / Polishing

↓

Finished restoration

The final result is affected by the complete workflow, not only by the zirconia blank.

For this reason, we provide sintering recommendations for different zirconia materials rather than applying one firing program to every grade.

How Should a Dental Laboratory Choose a Zirconia Blank?

There is no single zirconia blank that suits every case.

When discussing material selection with customers, we normally start with four questions.

1. What are you making?

A single anterior crown and a large bridge may have different material requirements.

2. What does your laboratory prioritize?

Some laboratories place more emphasis on translucency and aesthetics, while others place greater emphasis on strength and production efficiency.

3. Which milling system are you using?

The blank diameter and geometry need to match the milling system.

4. How do you currently sinter zirconia?

Different zirconia materials may require different sintering programs.

If you send us these four pieces of information, we can help you identify the corresponding Zotion option instead of simply sending a general product catalogue.

What Can Dental Zirconia Blanks Be Used For?

Depending on the zirconia grade and restoration design, our blanks can be used for:

Single crowns
Anterior aesthetic restorations
Posterior crowns
Veneers
Short-span bridges
Multi-unit bridges
Implant-supported restorations
Full-arch zirconia restorations

The appropriate material should be selected according to the manufacturer's stated indications and the requirements of each individual case.
 

 

As a technologically advanced manufacturer, we have advanced production processes and technologies to ensure that Dental Zirconia Blanks always maintain high quality and stability. Our factory is well-equipped and skilled, and can provide personalized customization services and after-sales services. All products have passed CE, ISO, and FDA certifications.

 

Why Buy Zirconia Blanks Directly from a Manufacturer?

Working directly with a manufacturer can be useful when you need more than a standard catalogue product.

At Zotion, customers can communicate directly with our team about:

Material → Blank Size → CAD/CAM Compatibility → Milling → Sintering → Packaging

This can be useful for distributors who need consistent product specifications across repeat orders, as well as laboratories that want to test a material before regular purchasing.

We prefer to confirm whether a product matches your workflow before an order is placed rather than simply describing every zirconia blank as "high quality."

 

 

 

 

FAQ:

What is a dental zirconia blank?

A dental zirconia blank is a pre-sintered zirconia material used in CAD/CAM milling to manufacture dental restorations. After milling, the restoration is sintered to achieve its final density and mechanical properties.

What is the difference between a zirconia blank and a zirconia block?

In dental CAD/CAM terminology, zirconia blank, zirconia block, and zirconia disc are often used to describe the same type of pre-sintered zirconia material. However, terminology can vary between manufacturers and CAD/CAM systems.

Which zirconia blank should I choose?

The choice depends on the restoration, aesthetic requirements, strength requirements, milling system, and sintering workflow. If you send us your machine model and typical cases, we can help you narrow down the available options.

Do you provide samples?

Yes. We can arrange zirconia samples for laboratory testing, depending on the product and order requirements.

Can you produce customized zirconia blanks?

We can discuss OEM/ODM requirements such as product specifications, packaging, and labeling. Custom material development depends on the required specifications and project volume.

How can I confirm whether a blank fits my milling machine?

Send us the machine brand/model and the blank you currently use. This allows our team to check the appropriate Zotion format.
