Monolithic zirconia constructions
with titanium iBar reinforcement
Monolithic zirconia is an aesthetic and homogeneous solution. However, in certain cases, due to the span length or load, zirconia alone may become mechanically risky.
With the iBar (inner bar) concept, the anatomical form of monolithic zirconia is reinforced with an internally milled titanium alloy framework, providing the construction with greater structural stability.
Why is it beneficial for dentists?

When should iBar
inner bar reinforcement be considered?
- Full-arch rehabilitations (All-on-4 / All-on-6 / All-on-X)
- Long-span bridges with two abutments
- 4–5 unit bridge on 2 abutments (teeth or implants)
- Distal cantilever
- High occlusal load, suspected parafunction
- Reduced implant number or compromised angulation
The goal in short
In cases where span and load mean that monolithic zirconia alone does not provide sufficient mechanical safety margin, the titanium iBar framework enables a more stable construction.

Titanium iBar
+ monolithic zirconia
iBar is an internally milled titanium alloy framework, manufactured using CNC milling. Its purpose is precise fit and high-strength structural reinforcement.
- Titanium alloy internal framework
- CNC milling technology
- Precise fit (especially critical at implant interfaces)
- Targeted reinforcement in critical zones
What is the final restoration?
The final prosthesis is made of monolithic zirconia in anatomical form, supported by the titanium iBar framework for long-span stability.
- Monolithic zirconia anatomical design
- Structural stability with titanium base
- Aesthetic, homogeneous appearance
- Digitally controlled parameters
Digital workflow for dentists
What do we need for case evaluation?
- STL/PLY (upper/lower, antagonist, bite)
- Implant system/platform (if applicable)
- Short description: span, cantilever, load, suspected bruxism
- Preferences and expected deadline
