First presentation of Primero On the IDS in Cologne
On March 12th, 2014 Primero crowns and bridges were for the first time presented at the International Dental Show (IDS) in Cologne, Germany, as the safe alternative to monolithic zirconia restorations, that are extremely hard and cause median cracks in the antagonist teeth. Between 2014 and 2020 45.000 Primero elements were produced for dental laboratories and dental clinics. The 6 years clinical performance of the Primero restorations was excellent: no chipping (6 years clinical study) and no deterioration of the restorations occurred. The Primero Lab System makes it possible, for every laboratory with a 5-axis milling machine, to produce, at relatively low cost and effort, esthetic veneered zirconia restorations for all indications, without the need of a ceramist. Final finishing is minimal, due to color gradients in the crown, similar to natural teeth.
