SUOYI Shines at the Turkish Dental Exhibition: Leading a New Trend in Dental Aesthetics with Innovative Materials

From April 15th to 18th, 2026, the world's second largest dental exhibition—IDEX Istanbul—was held at the CNR Exhibition Center in Turkey. As the annual grand event for the dental industry in Eurasia, this year's exhibition attracted over 100,000 professional visitors from 81 countries worldwide, with an exhibition area exceeding 65,000 square meters, becoming a strategic platform for international dental companies to showcase their technological strength and expand their markets. At this industry extravaganza, SUOYI, a Chinese materials technology company, became the focus of the exhibition with its four core products—yttrium-stabilized zirconia powder, Zirconia Blocks, PMMA, and glass-ceramic blocks—injecting innovative momentum into the global field of dental aesthetic restoration.

1. Technological Breakthrough: Yttrium-Stabilized Zirconia Powder Defines a New Industry Standard
SOY's high-transparency yttrium-stabilized zirconia powder for dentures, with its nanoscale grain structure (30-50nm) and 94.7% zirconia purity, achieves a perfect balance between the material's mechanical properties and aesthetic characteristics. Its core advantages lie in:
-Superior Toughness: Through a toughening mechanism induced by a 3 mol% yttrium oxide (Y₂O₃) stabilizer, a tetragonal-to-monoclinic phase transformation occurs, achieving a fracture strength exceeding 1000 MPa and a fracture toughness exceeding 10 MPa·m¹/², significantly reducing the risk of porcelain chipping in dentures.
-Optical Revolution:After sintering, the ceramic block achieves a light transmittance of 3.2 × 10³ lux, mimicking the translucent texture of natural tooth enamel. Combined with CAD/CAM milling technology, it can precisely replicate the layering and fluorescence effect of teeth.
-Biosafety:Certified by ISO 10993 for biocompatibility, the zirconium block, after cold isostatic pressing, achieves a density of 6.08 g/cm³, ensuring no risk of metal ion leaching during long-term wear.
This material has captured 99.9% of the European and American medical bioceramics market share and is widely used in the manufacture of single crowns, bridges, implant abutments, and articular prostheses, becoming the preferred material for high-end dental clinics worldwide.

2. End-to-End Solution: A Closed-Loop Technology System from Powder to Restoration The zirconia blocks, PMMA, and glass-ceramic blocks showcased by Soyi at this event form a complete industry chain from digital design to finished product delivery:
Pre-sintered Zirconia Blocks: Optimized density gradients based on Dental Scanner data, supporting 5-axis simultaneous milling, improving processing efficiency by 40% compared to traditional methods, with edge precision controlled within 20μm.
PMMA Temporary Crown Material: Utilizing medical-grade polymethyl methacrylate, modified with nanofillers to achieve a 35% increase in flexural strength, and supporting rapid light curing to meet immediate restoration needs.
Lithium Disilicate Glass-Ceramic Blocks: Combining leucite reinforcement technology, achieving a flexural strength of 500MPa, enabling the fabrication of ultra-thin veneers (thickness ≤0.3mm) while maintaining long-term wear resistance.
At the exhibition, Suoyi demonstrated its entire "scanning-design-milling-sintering" process. Its zirconium blocks, after sintering at 1450℃, maintained a stable shrinkage rate of 0.2%, and are seamlessly compatible with mainstream design software such as 3Shape and Exocad, attracting purchasing delegations from Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Germany, and other countries to sign orders exceeding $20 million.

3. Future Outlook: Materials Technology Empowering the Global Dental Ecosystem
During the exhibition, Soyi announced the launch of its "Green Manufacturing 2030" plan:
Hydrothermal synthesis granulation: Energy consumption reduced by 40%, with environmentally friendly zirconium oxide powder accounting for over 30% by 2025;
Bioactive coatings: Development of yttrium-stabilized zirconium oxide, increasing osteogenic induction activity by 20%, expanding the bone implant market;
Intelligent material library: Establishing material performance prediction models based on AI algorithms to achieve customized formulation development for customers.
