THE STANDARD IN ELEGANT CERAMICS
Ceramco3 feldspathic porcelain is produced with the
highest quality of processing to deliver excellent
handling and a premium level of esthetics. The entire
system, from the paste or powder opaques, through
the dentins, natural and opal enamels, impart the
fluorescence of natural dentition.
The exceptional thermal stability of Ceramco3
porcelains allow technicians to maintain hue, value
and chroma at consistent levels throughout multiple
firings.
The color -correlated system ensures that
technicians of varying skill levels, basic through
advanced, can create predictable shades with ease.
All 50 shades are available out-of the-bottle so
there's no measuring, mixing, or mistakes.
All Ceramco3 porcelains offer:
• Ease of handling
• Predictable, out-of-the-bottle shades
• Premium esthetics without mixing and matching
• A myriad of shades to meet all customer needs
Ceramco3 porcelain offers
premium esthetics without
mixing and matching.
YOUR CHOICE OF ENAMELS
Ceramco3 porcelain offers you the choice of Natural,
SoftWear® and Opal enamels. The fine-grained
leucite structure of the SoftWear enamels provides
proven low-wear characteristics to preserve natural
dentition.
Another benefit of using SoftWear enamels is the
ability to use a single porcelain system that fires with
standard firing temperatures for both conventional
and low-wear dentists' demands. The SoftWear
enamels can be used in thin or thick layers over the
dentin to duplicate the vitality of natural teeth.
Advanced quality assurance equipment and
techniques are used to ensure consistency of
every lot of the millions of ounces of
porcelain manufactured every year in the
manufacturing plant in Puerto Rico.
State-of-the-art glass-ceramic
manufacturing methods are
used to provide the optimum
balance of properties that
Ceramco3 users value, Strict
control over chemistry
results in reliable products.
Both the Natural and SoftWear enamels are available
in Super Clear, Light, Extra Light, Medium, Dark,
White, Ivory, Violet and Orange. Natural Enamels are
also available in Blue, Pink, Yellow and Clear. Opal
enamels come in White, Light, Medium and Clear.

QUALITY IN EVERY BOTTLE
To manufacture Ceramco3 porcelain, we use a unique
source of a mineral called feldspar. Because this
naturally occurring feldspar is so high in potassium,
it’s more stable than low-potassium feldspar that has
to be “cooked” with other minerals before it can be
used in dental porcelain.
It is this stability that gives Ceramco3 consistently
high esthetics – on everything from small crowns
fired just a few times to complicated nine-unit
bridges crafted with multiple firings.
Researchers at DENTSPLY continuously improve on
its tradition of fine quality porcelains. Our high
quality standards guarantee that every bottle of
Ceramco3 porcelain meets or exceeds your
expectations.
