SHT Shaded

The ICERA SHT Shaded is a premium pre-shaded super high translucent monochromatic dental zirconia block engineered to dramatically simplify the dental laboratory workflow. Through a special raw material formulation and advanced manufacturing technology, the SHT Shaded retains the high strength and high translucency of conventional zirconia while delivering its target shade directly out of the sintering furnace — eliminating the time-consuming and inconsistent process of manual dyeing or coloring liquid immersion. The result: faster production, more reliable shade reproduction, and less material waste.

The SHT Shaded combines a 43% translucent matrix with a robust 1250 MPa flexural strength, producing a versatile monochromatic disc suitable for both aesthetic and functional indications. Unlike multilayer products that feature gradient color zones, the SHT Shaded delivers uniform, consistent color throughout the entire disc — ideal for cases where shade predictability and production simplicity are top priorities. With 17 available shades, multiple diameters (98mm, 95mm, 92×75mm), and thicknesses ranging from 12mm to 25mm, the SHT Shaded gives technicians broad flexibility while standardizing their daily workflow.

1. Built-In Color — No Dyeing Required The SHT Shaded's defining advantage is its integrated post-sintering color. The disc emerges from the sintering oven already carrying its target shade, eliminating the need for coloring liquid immersion or manual dyeing. This dramatically simplifies workflow, reduces labor time, and removes one of the largest sources of shade inconsistency in conventional zirconia production.
2. Consistent Monochromatic Shade Unlike multilayer zirconia where color varies across the disc, the SHT Shaded delivers uniform color throughout the entire block. This makes it especially valuable for cases requiring predictable shade reproduction — such as repeat orders, batch production, and cases where multiple restorations must match precisely.
3. Strong 1250 MPa Flexural Strength With 1250 MPa of flexural strength, the SHT Shaded handles single crowns, multi-unit bridges, half-arch bridges, and screw-retained implant restorations with reliable durability. The strength profile makes it a true workhorse zirconia for high-volume laboratories.
4. 43% Super High Translucency The SHT Shaded preserves the high translucency expected from premium zirconia, capturing enough optical depth for natural-looking restorations while still providing adequate masking over discolored abutments. The result: predictable aesthetics across a wide range of clinical scenarios.
5. 17 Pre-Calibrated Shades Covering 17 carefully calibrated shades — including all major VITA classical shades and bleach OM2 — the SHT Shaded accommodates virtually every clinical case without requiring custom coloring.
6. Excellent Aging Resistance After accelerated aging tests, monoclinic phase content remains below 15%, demonstrating strong low-temperature degradation (LTD) resistance. The SHT Shaded maintains its mechanical and aesthetic properties throughout long-term clinical service.
7. Outstanding Density and Purity Post-sintering density of ≥6.0 g/cm³ ensures a dense, pore-free structure that resists fracture, prevents staining, and maintains color stability over years of clinical use.
8. Excellent Biocompatibility & Safety Grade 0 cytotoxicity, radioactivity below 0.1 Bq/g, and chemical solubility below 100 μg/cm² make the SHT Shaded fully safe for permanent intraoral use, even in patients with sensitive tissues.
9. CAD/CAM Optimized Uniform pre-sintered density delivers smooth milling, sharp margin definition, extended bur life, and predictable sintering shrinkage for accurate restoration fit.

The ICERA SHT Shaded is engineered for a wide range of restorative indications:
・Inlays and onlays - consistent color with strong durability
・Copings (inner crowns) - precise marginal fit
・Coping bridges (inner crown bridges)
・Full-contour crowns - anterior and posterior
・Full-arch bridges - uniform shade across multi-unit cases
・Half-arch bridges
・Implant-supported crowns
・Screw-retained implant bridges
・Repeat-order restorations - where shade matching across batches matters

The SHT Shaded represents ICERA's commitment to streamlining laboratory workflow without compromising quality. Manufactured from Sinocera raw zirconia powders using a proprietary pre-shading process, every disc is engineered to deliver consistent color, reliable strength, and predictable sintering performance. Each batch undergoes rigorous quality testing covering flexural strength, translucency, density, aging resistance, biocompatibility, and shade accuracy.

For dental laboratories seeking to eliminate the inconsistencies of manual dyeing while maintaining premium aesthetic and mechanical performance, the ICERA SHT Shaded is the smart choice. Its integrated color, robust strength, and simplified workflow make it an ideal solution for high-volume production, repeat orders, and any case where shade reliability matters.
