Cercon ht ML: A New Era Where Esthetics Meet Strength
Today, many dental professionals are searching for restorative materials that deliver both exceptional strength and natural aesthetics. That is why we are proud to introduce Cercon ht ML – a high-translucency, multilayer zirconia that redefines the balance between strength and beauty.
Manufactured by Dentsply Sirona, Cercon ht ML has quickly become a preferred material for restorations in both anterior and posterior regions. At VTA Dental Lab, our technicians are trained to fully leverage its advantages, creating restorations that exceed clinical expectations while delivering outstanding aesthetics.
What is Cercon ht ML?
Cercon® ht ML is a hybrid multilayer zirconia material that integrates high flexural strength and natural aesthetics within a single disc. Its flexural strength gradually transitions from up to 1200 MPa in the dentin area to approximately 750 MPa toward the incisal zone, creating a smooth color and translucency gradient from cervical to incisal—closely mimicking natural tooth structure.

Unlike conventional zirconia that requires porcelain layering or extensive staining to achieve lifelike shades, Cercon ht ML features an integrated multilayer color gradient directly within the material. This allows seamless transitions in shade and translucency, delivering a natural enamel- and dentin-like appearance.
Why VTA Chooses Cercon ht ML
At VTA, our mission is to deliver restorations that meet the highest standards of quality, marginal accuracy, and aesthetics. Cercon ht ML plays a key role in achieving this goal.
High Strength and Clinical Safety
With flexural strength exceeding 1200 MPa, this zirconia offers superior mechanical durability and clinical safety. It is designed to withstand high occlusal forces and heavy masticatory loads, making it suitable for a wide range of indications—from single crowns to long-span bridges of up to 14 units. This ensures long-term stability, reduces the risk of fractures, and enhances clinical reliability.

Outstanding Aesthetics for All Restorations
Thanks to its integrated multilayer technology and enhanced translucency, Cercon ht ML enables the fabrication of crowns, bridges, and veneers with natural color depth and smooth transitions – without the need for manual porcelain layering. This results in highly aesthetic, consistent restorations while shortening production time and maintaining stable quality.
The four integrated color layers after sintering create a natural enamel gradient at the incisal edge. With ultra-high translucency ranging from 41–49% and excellent color accuracy, Cercon ht ML delivers highly lifelike aesthetics, especially in the anterior region.
Predictable and Consistent Results
Its built-in polishability and uniform translucency allow for predictable outcomes with minimal adjustments, resulting in:
- Faster turnaround times
- Fewer remakes
- Higher satisfaction for both dentists and patients
Versatile Clinical Indications
Cercon ht ML is suitable for a wide range of restorative designs, including:
- Anterior and posterior crowns
3-unit bridges - Implant-supported restorations
- Full-contour or cut-back designs
