What are Lava, metal-free crowns made of?

The new Lava crowns are metal-free and composed entirely of a new type of porcelain layering. For strength, they have a Zirconium* synthetic diamond substrate under the porcelain, that is hidden, under the crown. Note: *Zirconium is a high-tech ceramic material that is characterized by its outstanding stability and biocompatibility, as well as strength levels significantly higher than other all-ceramic materials. Here are the exact statistics for comparison:

FLEXURAL STRENGTH (in MPA, or Mega-Pascals)

• PFG (Porcelain to Gold Crowns - the most common type of crown): 500 MPA, The 'comparative standard'.
• Procera: 687 MPA
• Vectris Frame: 713 MPA
• Lava Crowns: 1625 MPA (over 3 times the flexural strength of most other dental crowns)
