CEREC Tessera Advanced Lithium Disilicate
The CAD CAM block providing a trifecta of performance with speed, strength, and esthetics.
Single-visit indirect restorations CEREC blocks should seamlessly integrate into your workflow. Trade-offs shouldn't be part of the consideration process. With state-of-the-art technology, you don't need to compromise. Esthetics and strength. Strength and speed. Esthetics and speed. All combinations come standard to help you deliver state-of-the-art restorations.
CEREC Tessera - Advanced Lithium Disilicate is one material ready to be integrated into your digital workflow as your go-to glass ceramic block or in combination with CEREC MTL Zirconia for a complete CEREC block offering.
Benefits
Why choose CEREC Tessera?
High-strength glass ceramic block
Up to 32% stronger than the competition with biaxial strength measured at more than 700 MPa.
Tooth-like esthetics
The dual crystal stucture is designed to interact with the visible light spectrum for ideal translucence, flourescence and opalescence.
Fast total processing time
Clinicians can save up to 44% of total processing time (grinding and firing) without compromising on the full range of esthetic options.
Broad Case Indications
Indicated for use for single-unit full contour crowns, inlays, onlays, and veneers.
An innovative material
CEREC Tessera blocks achieve exceptional three-way performance through a unique chemistry that incorporates two complementary crystal structures within a glassy zirconia matrix. These two crystals work together to create an unprecedented fusion of strength and beauty in one block while significantly improving overall processing time.
Lithium disilicate
Rod-shaped crystals provide strength in the same manner as rebar embedded in cement. These crystals increase the density of the material while helping protect against crack propagation.
Virgilite
Used in glass ceramics, these crystals are unique to CEREC Tessera material. They are activated through the matrix firing process and add strength while contributing to the outstanding esthetics that give the convincing appearance of natural teeth.
"Margins milled beautifully. The shade worked out nicely for this case! No adjustments were needed."
Shivi Gupta, DDS
“The firing time is a game changer with this material.”
Michael Snider, DMD
Performance Where it Counts Most
Super-Fast Processing
CEREC Tessera blocks enable unprecedented processing speed for greater patient satisfaction and a more productive practice.
Recommendations for CEREC Tessera restorations with Dentsply Sirona Calibra cements
The answer to which cement is correct for a certain situation depends largely on the type of restoration and its wall thickness.
- Fundamentally all types of CEREC Tessera glass ceramic restoration can be cemented fully adhesively.
- Inlays, onlays and partial crowns have to be cemented fully adhesively, that is using Prime&Bond and Calibra Ceram.
- Veneers have to be cemented fully adhesively, that is using Prime&Bond and Calibra Veneer.
- Anterior and posterior crowns with a wall thickness of approximately 1.5 millimeters or more may also be cemented with a glass ionomer technology based cement, such as Calibra Bio or Calibra Universal.
Inlays, onlays and partial crown restorations with a wall-thickness <1.5mm
Anterior and posterior crown restorations with a wall thickness >1.5mm
