Ceramic Lithium Disilicate

Never before has a material been able to combine high strength high esthetics and ease of use into one product until now.

Ceramic lithium disilicate.

They will continue to be developed but it will take years to prove or disprove their acceptability. New hybrid full ceramic materials are coming into the market. They are widely used as dental ceramics due to their strength machinability and translucency. Lithium disilicate has an unusual microstructure that consists of many randomly oriented small and interlocking plate like needle like crystals.

Ivoclar vivadent s patented lithium disilicate material is truly a revolution for the dental industry. Due to its natural looking tooth colouring and excellent light optical properties this material produces impressive results.
