A revolutionary pressable ceramic, GC Initial® LiSi Press is a lithium disilicate ceramic offering esthetics and strength without being low in value. This exceptionally strong, extremely durable, highly esthetic pressable ceramic can save laboratories significant production time.
It is the first lithium disilicate ceramic with High Density Micronization (HDM) technology unique to GC, providing exceptional physical properties and natural, lifelike esthetics. HDM uses equally dispersed lithium disilicate micro-crystals to fill the entire glass matrix, rather than using the traditional larger-size crystals that do not take full advantage of the matrix structure. The result is an ultimate combination of strength and esthetics, making GC Initial LiSi Press perfectly suited for all types of restorations with all levels of transparency. It also has an extremely high density thanks to High Density Micronization. Most importantly, this same technology helps ensure stability without distortion or a drop in value, even after multiple firings.
GC Initial LiSi Press is optimized for use with the GC Initial® family, including the proven GC Initial LiSi veneering ceramic and GC Initial Lustre Pastes NF, universal 3D paintable ceramics.
