Imagine a pressable ceramic that is exceptionally strong and extremely durable, offers amazing esthetics, and saves your laboratory significant time. Finally! A lithium disilicate ceramic with the esthetics and strength technicians demand without being low in value.
GC Initial LiSi Press is the first lithium disilicate ceramic ingot with High Density Micronization (HDM), a technology unique to GC America Inc. that provides exceptional physical properties and the most natural, lifelike esthetics. HDM uses equally dispersed lithium disilicate micro-crystals to fill the entire glass matrix rather than using traditional, larger-size crystals that do not take full advantage of the matrix structure. The result is the ultimate combination of strength and esthetics, making GC Initial LiSi Press perfectly suitable for all types of restorations through all levels of transparency. Most importantly, HDM technology helps ensure the product remains extremely stable, without distortion or a drop in value, even after multiple firings.
GC Initial LiSi Press is optimized to be used with the rest of the GC Initial family, including the already proven GC Initial LiSi veneering ceramic and GC Initial Lustre Pastes NF-GC America Inc.'s universal 3D-paintable ceramics, further enhancing esthetics over the widest possible indications. Do not forget to use GC Initial LiSi Press with GC America Inc.'s dual-cure adhesive resin cement, G-CEM LinkForce, and you will achieve extraordinarily strong and durable bonds.
