1. Shofu Block & Disk HC's unique hybrid ceramic material combination ensures exceptional natural light transmission, instant color match, and increased
durability.
2. Composed of 61% zirconium silicate, the densely packed nanofiller creates a skeleton that absorbs masticatory forces and promotes resistance to breakdown phenomena.
3. Shofu Block & Disk HC's high flexural strength makes the material a
good candidate for anterior and posterior restorations, implant-supported cases, and long-term provisionals.
4. The proprietary microstructure and its spherically-shaped high-density filler particles achieve sustainable high-gloss polishability in only a few steps.
5. The full range of restorative indications includes minimally invasive inlays, onlays, cosmetic veneers, full anterior and posterior crowns, and implant-supported restorations.
In this day of digital dentistry, I was looking for a simple, more efficient way to produce restorations that are highly esthetic. Shofu Block & Disk HC gives my clients restorations that are highly esthetic with fit, form, and function. Shofu Block & Disk HC along with the CAD/CAM Stain Kit provide my laboratory with a lot of flexibility to handle most cases and get great results.
