Ceradyne co-invented brackets using Transtar®, a translucent polycrystalline aluminum oxide (TPA) in
1986. These translucent brackets improved the self-image of millions of people undergoing orthodontic
treatment.
Another Ceradyne dental innovation is the zirconium oxide implant. These injection molded components are
an appealing white color that eliminate darkness at the gum line often seen when titanium inserts are
used.
Ceradyne's molded ceramic implants, abutments and crowns offer a cost effective alternative to expensive
machined components, with more consistent part reproducibility and less induced stress. These components,
produced from zirconium oxide, not only provide the strength, toughness and durability required for
dental applications, but also offer the visual appeal that is Ceradyne's trademark.
