Description
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.
New! CEREC Tessera™ Abutment Block – combines Implant and Restorative Dentistry.
CEREC Tessera™ Abutment blocks are a product extension of CEREC Tessera™ Advanced Lithium Disilicate Blocks. The CEREC Tessera™ ceramic structure cemented to the TiBase is recommended for two-piece hybrid abutments for single tooth restorations and hybrid abutment crowns, used in conjunction with endosseous dental implants.
CEREC Tessera blocks achieve exceptional three-way performance through a unique chemistry that incorporates two complementary crystal structures within a glassy zirconia matrix.
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.
The Strong CEREC Block
#1 Strength is the number-one feature clinicians look for in a CAD/CAM block.¹
CEREC Tessera™ blocks are the strongest glass ceramic blocks currently offered anywhere in the market—up to 32% stronger than the competition,1 with biaxial strength measured at more than 700 MPa.1
This strength allows for a conservative preparation design, with reduced risk of margin chipping.
The unique combination of crystal structures and glass adds further assurance due to surface healing while firing.
What do these strength properties mean for your restorations?
You can use CEREC Tessera™ blocks with confidence for full-coverage crowns, inlays/onlays, and veneers. And you can count on the material’s strength even at wall thicknesses down to 1.0 mm, giving you greater flexibility in your restoration designs.
The Esthetic CEREC Block
#2 The second feature clinicians look for in a CAD/CAM block is esthetics.¹
Along with market-defining strength, CEREC Tessera™ blocks also deliver the tooth-like esthetics of glass ceramics—an essential quality for highly visible restorations.
It’s the one choice for restorations anywhere in the mouth.
Shade-match with confidence. CEREC Tessera™ blocks simplify shade selection, with true shade blocks that match the final restoration—no specialized selection tools or guesswork required.
And the dual crystal structure of CEREC Tessera™ ALD is designed to interact with the visible light spectrum for ideal translucence, fluorescence, and opalescence.
The result is a dynamic esthetic that relies on the properties of light refraction, transmission, and absorption—making CEREC Tessera™ blocks the ideal choice for even the most highly visible esthetic restorations.
The Fast CEREC block
CEREC Tessera™ blocks deliver faster total processing times¹, redefining the possibilities of single-visit dentistry.
These ALD blocks arrive already partially crystallized, allowing for fast, accurate shade selection.
They also enable faster firing—requiring only 4.5 minutes1 in a CEREC SpeedFire® furnace, even with stains.
Clinicians can save up to 44% of total processing time1 (grinding + firing) without compromising on the full range of esthetic options.
With simple processing and fast cooling, CEREC Tessera™ blocks deliver at every step to complement any workflow preference.
