Compatible to most wet milling machines.
Lithium disilicate glass-ceramic is ideally suitable for the fabrication of monolithic restorations or veneered restorations in the anterior and posterior region. Due to its natural-looking tooth coloring and excellent light-optical properties, this material produces impressive results.
Advantages – Lithium Disilicate
- Excellent esthetics and high strength 500 MPa
- Versatile applications and extensive indication range
- Minimally invasive preparation
- Natural-looking esthetics
- Adhesive, self-adhesive or conventional cementation depending on the indication
Indications
- Anterior and posterior restorations
- Veneers
- Minimally invasive inlays, onlays, and partial crowns
- Implant restorations
Contraindications
- Signs of severe bruxism and/or clenching
- Limited occlusal space
- A history of broken restorations and/or teeth Preparation
Adjusting and Polishing
- Use a fine grit diamond at slow speed with copious amounts of water.
- Polish with a porcelain polishing wheel and diamond polishing paste.
Cementation Recommendations
Conventionally cement using resin ionomer cements or bond for maximum retention on non-retentive preparations.
Bonding: Indicated for maximum retention and compressive strength of crowns, veneers, inlays and onlays when tooth preps are primarily supra-gingival and isolation is possible. Use self-cure or dual cure adhesive cements for most restorations. For cosmetic veneers use light cure or dual cure cements with shading options.
Conventional Cementation: Indicated for full coverage crowns only. Use self adhesive resin cements or resin modified glass ionomer in situations where a conventional cement would normally be used, i.e., a retentive prep design, a high-strength restoration with adequate thickness, or a tight fitting crown.
