Hybrid dental material Ceramir®

lithium disilicateCAD/CAMtranslucent

Strong and flexible with high aesthetic appearance Ceramir CAD/CAM BLOCKS are a new type of CAD/CAM material. They are manufactured using advanced patented laser sintering technology, creating a single glass phase material embedded in a hybrid matrix. This results in that Ceramir CAD/CAM BLOCKS have the strength of particle infiltrated ceramics (lithium disilicate), the aesthetics comparable of feldspathic glass-ceramics, but without the brittleness of pure ceramics, and with the flexibility similar to dentin (20 GPa), which reduces tension during masticatory load and creates a shock-absorbing effect, decreasing occlusal stress. Ceramir CAD/CAM BLOCKS have a natural translucency due to their homogeneous glass-like structure. They reflect light and, after a short polishing, have a high gloss surface that resembles natural teeth. Ceramir CAD / CAM BLOCKS offer a unique combination of strength, flexibility and aesthetics and can be used for a wide range of indications, including crowns, inlays, onlays and veneers. The advantage with Ceramir CAD/CAM BLOCKs is that it can be milled to very thin margins while maintaining a high edge stability. A full crown will need a thickness of 1,5 mm in areas with cusps and occlusal contacts, whilst veneers can be milled down to as little as 0,3-0,5 mm with remained smooth edge providing as little gap formation as possible. Due to the composition of the material, restorations made with Ceramir CAD/CAM BLOCKS can be easily repaired with composite in the mouth, if necessary. Ceramir CAD/CAM BLOCKS have unique properties that allow shorter milling times compared to other CAD/CAM blocks.
