Cosmetic, Full Mouth & Smile Makeovers

IPS E.max Press Lithium Disilicatae is a very versatile material that we use for crowns, veneers, miminal or no-prep veneers, inlay/onlays, and small span bridges in both the anterior and posterior of the mouth. The Press technique has established itself as the state-of-the-art processing method over the past 25 years and it has become synonymous with esthetic and accurately fitting all-ceramic restorations. 

The esthetic properties have been optimized with four levels of opacity for case planning in addition to the improved flexural strength of 400 MPa.  We are recommending that these restorations be adhesively cemented in order to get the maximum strength.

Seating Recommendations: The high strength of IPS e.max lithium disilicate offers dentists a choice to adhesively bond or conventionally cement their restorations.  We strongly recommend that these restorations be adhesively cemented in order to get the maximum strength.  

The following cements help to maximize the performance and esthetics of IPS e.max restorations:

ADHESIVE RESIN CEMENTS
For maximum bond strengths and in situations where adequate retention is not possible in the prep design (e.g. veneers, inlays/onlays) adhesive cementation is recommended. There are no minimum requirements for adhesive cementation. Adhesive cementation will provide higher-immediate bond strengths and a better marginal seal.SELF-

ADHESIVE RESIN CEMENTS
Self-adhesive resin cements combine an easy conventional cementation technique, with the advantages of “resin luting-composite”; increased strength, low solubility, high-level radiopacity and light-cure capabilities. Due to the lower bond strengths offered by this category of cements, it is strongly recommended that self-adhesive resin cements only be utilized in situations where a conventional cement would normally be used; retentive prep design, high-strength restoration with adequate thickness and tight fit.

GC Initial® LiSi Press is the first lithium disilicate ceramic ingot with High Density Micronization (HDM), a technology unique to GC that provides exceptional physical properties and the most natural, life-like aesthetics. HDM uses equally dispersedlithium disilicate micro-crystals to fill the entire glass matrix ratherthan using traditional larger size crystals that do not take full advantage of the matrix structure. The result is the ultimate combination of strength and aesthetics, making GC Initial® LiSi Press perfectly suitable for all types of restorations through all levels of transparency.

Seating Recommendations:  Lithium discilicate restorations can be adhesively or conventionally luted, depending on the indication and practitioner’s preference. For high aesthetic demands, the try-in paste of G-CEM LinkForce® will help you in choosing the best shade.

The strongest of our Monolithic Zirconia’s at 1200-1300 MPA’s, this is a highly translucent Zirconia which is used in conjunction with a specialized colouring technique that eliminates the use of veneer ceramics in the functioning area. In this way, aesthetically pleasing full-zirconia restorations can be realized. Full Contour Zirconia is the material of choice for frequently occurring problems like reduced available space, bruxism or ceramic chipping.  It offers a functional and at the same time aesthetic solution. We use this material for single crowns & bridges to full mouth reconstruction. This highly bio-compatible and non-porous material distinguishes itself through its extremely high translucency and perfectly natural appearance.

This is our own Trademark All- Zirconia line using monolithic zirconia that has very high translucency and 700-800 MPA and used for single units and up to 3 unit anterior bridges for the most esthetic results with zirconia.Seating Recommendations: Cementation can be accomplished using proven, conventional techniques with Self Adhesive Resin Cements, Luting Cements and Glass Ionomer Cements

The Porcelain-Fused to Zirconia system is an innovative Cad/Cam technology using zirconium oxide base.  The durability and esthetics of PFZ restorations represents the optimum in all-ceramic systems.  Colorable frameworks that are thin and translucent ensure a natural and vital appearance with life-like translucency and high strength (1440 Mpa).  The result is a restoration ideal for single crowns, three to six unit bridges ups to 42 mm span, splinted crowns (up to six units) cantilever bridges and multiple abutments that offer strength, stability and outstanding marginal fit.  We use two techniques with our PFZ system, Porcelain Handstack or CZR Press over the top of the Zirconia copings.
