According to a new report on 15 European markets for dental prosthetics and CAD/CAM devices by iData Research (www.idataresearch.com), the CAD/CAM block market in Europe is developing new materials that are constantly being introduced and tested. One new trend is the introduction of translucent zirconia blocks, which are more tooth-like and pre-colored. These blocks are significantly more expensive than their non-colored counterparts for aesthetic and durability reasons. However, lithium disilicate blocks such as the IPS e.max® by Ivoclar Vivadent, are dominating the block market due to high demand. More competitor products are also emerging in this field, including VITA ENAMIC® by VITA, which is the first hybrid ceramic crown made part-polymer, part-ceramic. Due to this competition, the price for ceramic blocks is expected to decline, whereas the price of zirconia blocks has already reached a plateau. In 2014, the market for CAD/CAM blocks in Europe surpassed EUR88 million, representing a 10%
