GC Initial® LiSi Press is a high-strength lithium disilicate ingot with proprietary HDM (High Density Micronization) technology that-unlike traditional larger-size crystals-equally disperses micro-crystals to fill the entire glass matrix, resulting in excellent physical properties and esthetics. It has a biaxial flexural strength of >500 MPa and virtually no reaction layer when divested. The material is wear-resistant, stable after multiple firings, and optimized for use with GC Initial® LiSi veneering ceramic and GC Initial® Lustre Pastes NF. GC Initial® LiSi Press is suitable for ultra-thin veneers as well as single-tooth restorations and small bridges in both anterior and posterior cases.
Key Takeaways
• Flexural strength of >500 MPa with HDM technology
• Four different translucencies adapt to any substrate
• High strength for long-lasting restorations
