Press Ceramic
Press Ceramic are lithium disilicate glass-ceramic ingots for the fabrication of highly esthetic all ceramic restorations using the traditional press technique. The high flexural strength (470 MPa) enables a wide range of indications and provides reliability for three-unit bridges up to the second premolar. Depending on the indication and processing technique, the press ingots are available in 4 different translucency levels (MO, LT, MT, HT) and 2 Opal levels. The excellent flow properties permit even high-strength thin veneers. The lifelike opalescence and translucency provide optimum integration into the adjacent tooth structure and a “chameleon effect”.
