3M Lava™

Not all zirconia is created equal. Yes, zirconia can be chemically similar, but once processed, the mechanical and optical characteristics can be significantly different, which can mean a significant difference in the final restoration for your patients.

3M has over 25 years of zirconia research and technology. Over the past five years, we have conducted numerous
in vitro and in vivo studies around the world showing an excellent performance of Lava restorations in strength,
translucency and fit.

3M ESPE's material science meets advanced digital technology.
