Modern restorative dentistry increasingly relies on high-strength ceramics like zirconia and porcelain due to their exceptional esthetics, biocompatibility, and durability. While these materials provide long-term success, they also introduce complexity during intraoral adjustments. Whether you're refining occlusion, correcting contacts, or polishing margins, zirconia and porcelain demand tools that balance precision with preservation.
Mr. Bur ZiCPro Diamond Stone RA Kit A was specifically engineered to address these clinical needs. Designed for use with slow-speed, right-angle (RA) handpieces, this three-step rotary kit ensures smooth trimming, contouring, and polishing of high-strength ceramics, allowing clinicians to achieve optimal restorative outcomes with ease and confidence.
Properties of Zirconia and Porcelain
Both zirconia and porcelain are widely used in indirect restorations due to their respective benefits:
-
Zirconia: Offers high flexural strength, fracture resistance, and excellent marginal fit. It is not easily scratched compared to other crown materials. It is less abrasive against teeth and tends to maintain their smooth surface, making them a good choice for long-lasting dental restorations.
-
Porcelain: Known for its natural translucency, porcelain mimics natural teeth exceptionally well. It is biocompatible, stain-resistant, and offers a smooth glazed surface. However, it is brittle and prone to chipping, especially under heavy bite forces, making it less durable and aesthetics than zirconia.
Because of these characteristics, selecting the wrong tools can lead to unintended consequences that affect function, appearance, or longevity.
Introducing the ZiCPro Diamond Stone RA Kit A
Mr. Bur ZiCPro Diamond Stone RA Kit A is a complete rotary solution tailored for adjusting and polishing high-strength ceramic restorations chairside. The kit includes diamond-impregnated stones that are color-coded for a systematic three-phase adjustment process.
Kit Composition and Tool Design
-
RA-G1 Diamond Stone : Coarse grit stone designed for efficient material reduction and gross anatomical contour adjustments. Ideal for occlusal adjustments and reshaping.
-
RA-G2 Diamond Stone : Fine grit stone used for refining anatomical transitions, embrasures, and margins. Prepares the surface for a smooth and natural finish before polishing.
-
RA-G3 Diamond Stone : Super-fine grit stone intended for final finishing. Delivers a glass-like polish that closely replicates lab-glazed zirconia or porcelain.
All stones are RA-compatible for use with slow-speed right-angle handpieces, ensuring excellent tactile feedback and access to delicate intraoral areas such as crown margins and interproximal contacts.
Step-by-Step Guide on How to Use the ZiCPro Kit A
Mr. Bur ZiCPro Diamond Stone RA Kit A offers a clinically streamlined, three-step protocol for adjusting zirconia and porcelain restorations safely and efficiently. Each step is designed to minimize risks such as microfractures, overheating, or surface damage while preserving the restoration’s aesthetics and integrity.
-
Using Mr. Bur RA-G1 Diamond Stone for initial reduction of ceramic material for adjusting occlusion and anatomical reshaping of contact points, or over-contoured areas.
-
Common in post-cementation adjustments or during try-ins.
-
Technique:
-
Avoid excessive force, zirconia is tough but can develop microcracks if stressed incorrectly.
-
Avoid prolonged contact in one spot to prevent overheating.
-
Regularly check the contact points with articulating paper or occlusion film.
-
Maintain a dry field, or use intermittent water spray to reduce frictional heat.
Step 2: Pre-Polishing
-
Apply Mr. Bur RA-G2 Diamond Stone to refine and smooth the restoration after trimming, restoring natural transitions in anatomy and refining emergence profiles and margins.
-
Used to remove surface roughness created during trimming.
-
Ideal for defining anatomical grooves, embrasures, and subtle curvature—especially in esthetic zones.
-
Technique:
-
Use intermittent contact to prevent local heat buildup.
-
Focus on smooth transitions, especially in interproximal and buccal areas.
-
Pay attention to margins and areas close to the gingiva—this step ensures comfort and better integration with soft tissue.
-
Avoid flattening anatomy; aim to maintain the restoration’s original contours.
Step 3: High-Shine Polishing
-
Mr. Bur RA-G3 Diamond Stone optimizes final polishing to achieve a smooth, high-gloss finish that mimics a laboratory-glazed surface.
-
Enhances smoothness while minimizing plaque accumulation and surface roughness.
-
Perfect for anterior restorations or visible zones requiring maximum esthetic value.
-
Technique:
-
Move across the surface in sweeping or circular motions for even polishing.
-
Take extra care on incisal edges, cusp tips, and facial surfaces for uniform polish.
By following this structured workflow, clinicians can ensure conservative, safe, and esthetic modifications to ceramic restorations—maximizing functional performance while preserving the integrity of the material.
