glass ceramiclithium disilicatefor dental bridges

Product overview
High-strength lithium disilicate glass-ceramic CAD/CAM blocks for esthetic dental restorations.

• High-strength lithium disilicate glass-ceramic with a final flexural strength of ≥ 360 MPa
• Three translucency levels with up to 16 shades for natural esthetics
• Crystallization and glaze firing can be combined in one step for efficient processing
• Optional individualization for improved shade matching
• Proven clinical history with millions of restorations placed
• Note: Color of precrystallized MO blanks differs from HT and LT blanks; this does not affect final result

Indications

• Single crowns (delivered in blue, precrystallized state)
• Partial crowns, inlays, onlays and veneers (delivered in blue, precrystallized state)
• Three-unit bridges up to second premolar as terminal abutment (delivered in blue, precrystallized state)
• Two-piece abutments for BEGO Semados® implants
