INTRODUCING LRF™

2

This innovative new leucite-reinforced feldspar ceramic

block offers the highest aesthetics of traditional

feldspathic porcelain with added flexural strength by

adding the perfect combination of leucite ceramic.

Leucite reinforcement of glass ceramic offers increased

flexural strength and resistance against possible crack

formations and chipping at the margins.

The particle size and particle distribution of the leucite

crystals contribute to the aesthetic appearance as they

reflect the incident light in nature the same way. These

ceramic particles are homogeneously distributed and

dense providing your patients restorations that are not

only beautiful and aesthetic, but strong and durable

as well.

THE GC INITIAL™ LRF BLOCK FROM GC AMERICA IS AN EXCEPTIONALLY AESTHETIC AND STRONG LEUCITE-REINFORCED FELDSPAR CAD/CAM BLOCK. IT HAS A FAST MILLING TIME, DOES NOT REQUIRE FIRING AND IS EASILY FINISHED, SAVING TIME WITHOUT COMPROMISING STRENGTH AND BEAUTY.

FAST, STRONG, BEAUTIFUL

FAST AND EASY: JUST MILL, POLISH AND CEMENT• High density - less risk of cracking and chipping

• Extremely smooth surfaces after milling

• Easy-to-polish or glaze with dedicated glaze paste

• Chameleon effect offers optimal color integration

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

• Combines qualities of high and low-strength CAD/CAM ceramic blocks

• Initial™ LRF is stronger than traditional feldspar glass ceramic blocks

BEST OF BOTH WORLDS

• Highest fracture stability and flexural strength in its category, whether polished or glazed

• High density block (less risk of chipping)

CLINICAL CASE

First upper molar showing a defective amalgam restoration.

Decision to create a ceramic onlay directly in CAD/CAM.

Contact, occlusion, and anatomy are finalized

intra-orally.

Luting using G-CEM LinkForce™.

Cavity preparation following an all ceramic criteria.

Final result after glazing (not characterized

in this case).
