Everyday Value Zirconia
The Aidite Everyday Value Zirconia portfolio brings together three practical zirconia options designed to help dental laboratories balance strength, translucency, esthetics and material cost across everyday crown-and-bridge production.
Choose from a high-strength multilayer zirconia, a more translucent single-layer zirconia or an economical everyday material based on the indication, esthetic requirements and budget of each case.
Gro3X Insight: Aidite SuperfectZir ML provides the strongest combination of multilayer appearance, durability and cost-efficiency. HonorZir adds greater translucency for laboratories that want a more esthetic single-layer option, while SuperfectZir provides dependable everyday performance at the most economical position.
Together, these materials give laboratories a straightforward, value-based zirconia system without requiring a premium material for every restoration.
Aidite SuperfectZir ML
A durable, value-focused multilayer zirconia built for strength and efficient everyday production.
Aidite SuperfectZir ML is an economy multilayer option for dental laboratories that want dependable strength, built-in shade transitions and practical esthetics without moving into a premium zirconia price category.
Its multilayer construction creates a gradual transition through the disc, helping restorations appear more natural while reducing the amount of external characterization required for many routine cases.
- Positioning: Economy multilayer zirconia
- Flexural strength: 1,350 MPa
- Translucency: 43–48%
- Shade system: 16 VITA Classical shades plus 3 bleach shades
- Best for: Durable, value-focused crown-and-bridge restorations
Best fit for: Labs that want strong margins, dependable durability and a practical multilayer zirconia for everyday production.
Aidite HonorZir (SHTPC)
A versatile single-layer zirconia combining dependable strength with enhanced translucency.
Aidite HonorZir SHTPC is a pre-shaded, single-layer zirconia with 1,100 MPa of flexural strength and 48% translucency. It is available in 16 VITA Classical shades and three bleach shades.
HonorZir provides a useful middle position between multilayer zirconia and basic economy zirconia. It gives technicians greater esthetic flexibility while retaining the strength needed for routine crown-and-bridge applications.
- Positioning: Translucent value zirconia
- Flexural strength: 1,100 MPa
- Translucency: 48%
- Type: Single-layer, pre-shaded zirconia
- Best for: Everyday cases requiring added translucency
Best fit for: Labs that want greater translucency than conventional economy zirconia without paying for a premium multilayer material.
Aidite SuperfectZir (SHTC)
Dependable single-layer zirconia for cost-efficient everyday production.
Aidite SuperfectZir SHTC is Aidite’s economy line of pre-shaded, single-layer zirconia. With 1,000 MPa of flexural strength and 43% translucency, it offers excellent value for everyday zirconia restorations.
SuperfectZir is a practical choice for laboratories that need predictable milling, reliable durability and straightforward shade consistency for routine cases where maximum translucency is not the primary requirement.
- Positioning: Essential economy zirconia
- Flexural strength: 1,000 MPa
- Translucency: 43%
- Type: Single-layer, pre-shaded zirconia
- Best for: Cost-efficient everyday crown-and-bridge production
Best fit for: Cost-conscious and high-volume laboratories that need dependable zirconia for routine posterior and general restorative work.

Frequently Asked Questions
Compare Aidite SuperfectZir ML, HonorZir and SuperfectZir for everyday dental laboratory production.
What is Everyday Value Zirconia?
Everyday Value Zirconia is a collection of dependable, cost-efficient zirconia materials for routine dental laboratory production. It includes multilayer and single-layer options so labs can balance strength, translucency, appearance and material cost for each case.
Which Everyday Value Zirconia offers the best overall balance?
Aidite SuperfectZir ML offers the strongest overall combination of strength, multilayer appearance and cost-efficiency. Its 1,350 MPa flexural strength and built-in translucency transition make it a practical option for durability-focused everyday production.
What is the difference between SuperfectZir ML and SuperfectZir?
SuperfectZir ML is a multilayer zirconia with built-in shade and translucency transitions and 1,350 MPa flexural strength. SuperfectZir SHTC is a single-layer, pre-shaded zirconia with 1,000 MPa flexural strength and 43% translucency. SuperfectZir ML prioritizes greater strength and a natural internal transition, while SuperfectZir prioritizes economy.
When should a dental lab choose HonorZir?
Choose HonorZir when the restoration would benefit from more translucency than conventional economy zirconia but does not require a premium multilayer material. Its 48% translucency makes it a practical middle option when appearance and value are both important.
Which option is the most economical?
Aidite SuperfectZir SHTC is the essential economy option. It provides 1,000 MPa flexural strength and 43% translucency for cost-efficient everyday production.
Which option has the highest flexural strength?
Aidite SuperfectZir ML has the highest listed flexural strength in this collection at 1,350 MPa. HonorZir is listed at 1,100 MPa, and SuperfectZir SHTC is listed at 1,000 MPa.
Which option offers the greatest translucency?
HonorZir provides 48% translucency, while SuperfectZir ML transitions from approximately 43% to 48% through its multilayer structure. SuperfectZir SHTC provides 43% translucency.
How does Everyday Value Zirconia differ from Esthetic Multilayer Zirconia?
Esthetic Multilayer Zirconia is generally selected when lifelike gradients and elevated visual outcomes are the primary considerations. Everyday Value Zirconia emphasizes dependable routine performance, cost control and laboratory profitability while providing appropriate esthetics for its intended applications.
Can these zirconia materials be used in standard CAD/CAM workflows?
Yes. These zirconia discs are designed for conventional dental CAD/CAM milling and sintering workflows. Follow the applicable Aidite instructions for restoration design, minimum wall thickness, connector dimensions, nesting and sintering.
Why is correct nesting important for SuperfectZir ML?
Correct nesting determines how the restoration is positioned within the multilayer transition. Its vertical placement affects the shade and translucency distribution visible in the final restoration.
Do all three zirconia materials use the same sintering cycle?
Not necessarily. Follow the current manufacturer instructions for the specific material, restoration type, disc thickness and furnace being used. Do not assume that one sintering schedule applies to every zirconia product.
