Lithium Disilicate that we use in our lab is pure glass ceramic which has better aesthetic properties than hybrid glass ceramic. As we mill the material with CAD/CAM system, we can produce the accurate shape and size of prosthesis.
Material | Milled Lithium Disilicate (Li2 Si2 O5) Glass Ceramics |
---|---|
Properties | Biaxial Flexible Strength / High Hardness / Fracture Toughness / High Thermal Expansion / Low Refractive Index / Optimal aesthetic |
Generally Preferred Cases | Restoration of anterior teeth, Aesthetic Demand Cases, Abrasion, Diastema, Discoloration, Dental Misalignment (mild) |
Available types of Prosthesis | Veneer, Jacket Crown, Implant Crown, Endo Crown, Occlusal veneer, inlay, onlay |
Advantages | One of the best aesthetic material for veneer nowadays, Stain Resistant, Biocompatibility... (summarize remaining advantages) |
Disadvantages | Need the respective cement, Less strength than zircon |
