3M™ ESPE™ Lava™ Premium system is based on a unique 3M™ ESPE™ shading technology, meaning that its color is not on the surface but comes from within. This unique technology used in the Lava™ Premium Dyeing Liquids also helps to preserve translucency after shading, without compromising strength.

Since its introduction in 2001, Lava™ Zirconia has become a huge success story. Millions of restorations have been produced and Lava™ Systems are running in over 40 countries around the globe.

Lava™ Zirconia is one of the best investigated materials on the market with over 100 studies published by researchers worldwide. Lava™ stands for high-strength restorations with outstanding marginal fit and excellent aesthetics. Due to its proven reliability, 3M™ ESPE™ grants for 15 years from the date of placement that copings or substructures made out of Lava™ Zirconia will not break.
