Details
N&V Z4 Universal Investment is a fine grained, phosphate bonded dental investment for use with all dental alloys and pressable ceramic systems, and both the high speed or overnight technique. Z4 is a precision investment, engineered to deliver unequaled results, with the accuracy and consistency demanded by today’s modern dental laboratories.
