3M™ ESPE™ Lava™ ® Zirconia

Not all zirconia is created equal. Yes, zirconia can be chemically similar, but once processed, the mechanical and optical characteristics can be significantly different. Which can mean a significant difference in the final restoration for your patients.

3M ESPE's material science meets advanced digital technology.

• Processed differently with a trade-secret formulation designed to enhance the translucency, marginal fit and strength
• Excellent marginal fit that has been clinically documented
• Optimal strength and translucency

3M has over 25 years of zirconia research and technology. Over the past five years, we have conducted numerous in vitro and in vivo studies around the world showing an excellent performance of Lava restorations in:

• Strength
• Translucency
• Fit

3M ESPE’s Lava Zirconia, introduced in 2002, has years of clinical data to prove its success. Since its introduction, Lava Zirconia has become the zirconia brand most requested by dentists for crowns and bridges in the U.S. for one reason: it’s not a commodity.

It provides differentiating benefits in natural esthetics, strength, and fit to go along with 8 years of clinical history. 3M ESPE continues to merge the best of its material science with the best of digital technology to help labs and dentists transform the way dentistry is done. The Lava Precision Solutions portfolio of products demonstrates the reach of 3M ESPE’s expertise. Zirconia, however, is where the Lava brand began.
