GC Initial Zirconia Disk Multilayer Elite 14 mm

Description

GC Initial Zirconia Disk Multilayer Elite is a pre-shaded multilayer zirconia for the fabrication of aesthetic and durable all-ceramic restorations. The material combines high strength with a natural gradient in both shade and translucency from the cervical to the incisal region.

Product facts

• Type: Pre-shaded multilayer zirconia
• Material: Yttria-stabilised zirconium oxide
• Material structure: Combination of 4Y-TZP and highly translucent 5Y-TZP
• Shade structure: Natural gradient from the cervical to the incisal region
• Translucency: Gradient from over 45% to over 49%
• Flexural strength: Typical mean value of at least 1,100 MPa
• ISO classification: Type II, class 5 according to DIN EN ISO 6872
• Shades: All 16 classic VITA shades and three bleach shades
• Size: 98.5 × 14 mm
• Applications: Anterior and posterior restorations
• Sintering: Conventional or fast sintering for approved restorations

Benefits

The seamless transition between the layers provides an even distribution of shade, translucency and strength throughout the disc. The material offers high mechanical stability in every layer and is therefore suitable for a broad range of restorations, while its integrated shade gradient reduces the need for extensive finishing.

Shade and aesthetics

The gradient from a more chromatic cervical region to a lighter and more translucent incisal region mimics the optical structure of a natural tooth. By positioning the restoration at the appropriate height within the disc, the distribution of shade and translucency can be adapted to the desired aesthetic result.

Applications

Suitable for crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays, veneers and zirconia structures for two-piece and hybrid abutments. Its high strength also makes the material suitable for multi-unit and implant-supported bridges in both anterior and posterior regions.

Processing

The material is supplied in a pre-sintered state and is processed in a compatible dental CAD/CAM system. After milling, the restoration is sintered using the recommended programme and can then be polished, stained and glazed or individualised with compatible GC Initial materials, such as the IQ ONE SQIN concept or Initial Zr-FS veneering ceramic.
