Product Highlights<br />
GC<br />
High strength, high value with exceptional aesthetics<br />
Thanks to a unique technology – high density<br />
micronisation (HDM), lithium disilicate<br />
ceramic ingot Initial LiSi Press from dental<br />
care product manufacturer, GC, features<br />
natural, lifelike aesthetics. The result is a<br />
combination of aesthetics and strength,<br />
making GC Initial LiSi Press suitable for<br />
restorations of all levels of transparency.<br />
Instead of traditional larger size crystals<br />
that do not fully utilise the matrix structure,<br />
HDM uses equally dispersed lithium disilicate<br />
micro-crystals to fill the entire glass<br />
matrix. Additionally, HDM technology helps<br />
ensure the product remains stable, without<br />
distortion or drop in value, even after<br />
multiple firings.<br />
Some of GC Initial LiSi Press’s advantages<br />
include flexural strength, richer, warmer<br />
and brighter aesthetics with excellent<br />
fluorescence. Besides being antagonistfriendly<br />
and wear-resistant, the lower<br />
solubility allows for a permanent<br />
gloss. Cleaner presses are<br />
possible since there is<br />
almost no reaction layer<br />
when divested.<br />
Jordanian ceramicist,<br />
Firas Dahbour, said, “What<br />
I love in this material is the<br />
colour stability: no more grey<br />
appearances after several<br />
firings. The LiSi Press saves<br />
me a lot of working time and<br />
money because of the inexistence of<br />
the reaction layer. There are no alternative<br />
materials that can measure up to LiSi; the<br />
HDM technology makes this material unique<br />
in the physical, chemical and mechanical<br />
aspects.” ■<br />
With fewer steps and a more flexible procedure,<br />
GC Initial LiSi Press allows time savings of at<br />
least 15 minutes per restoration<br />

Provider of digital solutions for dental<br />
laboratory technicians, DGSHAPE, recently<br />
announced the release of the AK-1 titanium<br />
abutment milling system for DWX-42W wet<br />
milling machine.<br />
As dental laboratories are increasing<br />
the adoption of digital CAD/CAM milling<br />
systems in place of traditional casting<br />
methods, DWX series milling machines<br />
Attachment AK-1-GE is<br />
compatible with GeoMedi Geo<br />
CMFit series<br />
AK-1 abutment milling system<br />
specialise in the digital production of dental<br />
prosthesis such as copings, crowns, and<br />
bridges. Supported CAD software include<br />
3Shape, exocad, and <strong>Dental</strong> Wings. DWX<br />
series milling machines can process various<br />
dental materials such as Zirconia, Wax,<br />
PEEK, and PMMA.<br />
Custom milling<br />
The AK-1 abutment milling system is a<br />
series of attachments to the standard<br />
DWX-42W material holder that allows the<br />
custom milling of titanium abutments from<br />
popular manufacturers such as GeoMedi,<br />
MEDENTiKA, and NT-Trading, which support<br />
brands such as Nobel Biocare, Straumann,<br />
Dentsply and Zimmer.<br />
Features of the AK-1 abutment milling<br />
system<br />
1. Effortless milling of titanium custom<br />
abutments<br />
Simply attach the abutment adapter and<br />
change out the filtration tray and milling<br />
burs to begin milling custom titanium<br />
abutments in-house.<br />
2. New burs for milling titanium<br />
Specifically developed and optimised<br />
for milling titanium, the new milling burs<br />
provide stable and quality milling of custom<br />
abutments. ■<br />
