Press release
New hybrid ceramic CAD/CAM block for chairside and laboratory
use
Precision, strength and flexibility: GC presents
CERASMART
GC is globally famous for being a partner for dentists and
dental
technicians
alike,
offering
dental
surgeries
and
laboratories innovative and high-quality solutions that share a
single focus: the well-being of the patient. Its extensive
product portfolio makes GC one of the leading manufacturers
for a broad range of dental consumables. With CERASMART, GC
made a new step in the world of digital dentistry, where the
company’s vision is to soon become one of the top players.
Speed,
modularity,
flexibility
–
these
are
the
attributes
that
increasingly characterise present-day dentistry. Dentists and dental
technicians often work hand in hand, but more often than not they are
subject to immense time pressure. This is why intelligent solutions are
needed that streamline the workflow and optimise the individual steps
in
the
dental
practice.
GC,
an
established
Japanese
dental
manufacturer, has always been known for its ability to spot the trends
early and to create innovative products perfectly adapted to them – in
order to not only support users, but to also benefit patients. The
materials and systems offered by GC cover different areas within
restorative dentistry, from direct to indirect, chairside to laboratory.
GC is now entering a new field, where the company’s vision is to soon
become one of the leading players: digital dentistry.
Simple CAD/CAM restorations
CERASMART, GC’s first CAD/CAM hybrid ceramic block, can equally be
used chairside in the surgery or milled in the laboratory. The result is
a more efficient workflow that delivers time and cost savings. Every
CERASMART block features the best of hybrid technology; building on
GC’s combined strengths in ceramic and composite materials. As a
result, CERASMART is suitable for the production of all metal-free
aesthetic indirect restorations, such as inlays/onlays, crowns and
veneers.
Made from force-absorbing hybrid ceramics
CERASMART offers the highest flexural strength in its category* and
still provides a significant flexibility to the restoration, which makes it
a particularly interesting material for some clinical cases where the
ability to buffer masticatory pressure is needed – such as for implant
crowns or restorations in patients with bruxism and/or generalized
tooth wear. It also allows a quick and precise milling, resulting in a
very accurate marginal adaptation. CERASMART is based on a unique
high
pressure
production
process
and
features
ultra-fine
homogeneously dispersed fillers, to ensure a long-lasting shine and
less wear to the opposing dentition. This hybrid ceramic block makes
it also possible to reach a high level of aesthetics, thanks to its
balanced opalescence and fluorescence. Moreover it facilitates the
follow-up thanks to its high level of radiopacity.
Furthermore, CERASMART is offered as a complete solution, as it can
be associated with a primer (Ceramic Primer II) and a filled
characterisation glaze (Optiglaze color) which brings durable staining
to restorations. In case characterisation is not needed, a simple
polishing with GC DiaPolisher Paste will provide an incomparable
shine.
With CERASMART, GC fully enters into the Smart Age, where the right
type of CAD/CAM material can be selected for each specific clinical
situation!
