Product Highlights GC High strength, high value with exceptional aesthetics Thanks to a unique technology – high density micronisation (HDM), lithium disilicate ceramic ingot Initial LiSi Press from dental care product manufacturer, GC, features natural, lifelike aesthetics. The result is a combination of aesthetics and strength, making GC Initial LiSi Press suitable for restorations of all levels of transparency. Instead of traditional larger size crystals that do not fully utilise the matrix structure, HDM uses equally dispersed lithium disilicate micro-crystals to fill the entire glass matrix. Additionally, HDM technology helps ensure the product remains stable, without distortion or drop in value, even after multiple firings. Some of GC Initial LiSi Press’s advantages include flexural strength, richer, warmer and brighter aesthetics with excellent fluorescence. Besides being antagonistfriendly and wear-resistant, the lower solubility allows for a permanent gloss. Cleaner presses are possible since there is almost no reaction layer when divested. Jordanian ceramicist, Firas Dahbour, said, “What I love in this material is the colour stability: no more grey appearances after several firings. The LiSi Press saves me a lot of working time and money because of the inexistence of the reaction layer. There are no alternative materials that can measure up to LiSi; the HDM technology makes this material unique in the physical, chemical and mechanical aspects.” ■ With fewer steps and a more flexible procedure, GC Initial LiSi Press allows time savings of at least 15 minutes per restoration DGSHAPE A System for Titanium Abutment Milling Provider of digital solutions for dental laboratory technicians, DGSHAPE, recently announced the release of the AK-1 titanium abutment milling system for DWX-42W wet milling machine. As dental laboratories are increasing the adoption of digital CAD/CAM milling systems in place of traditional casting methods, DWX series milling machines Attachment AK-1-GE is compatible with GeoMedi Geo CMFit series AK-1 abutment milling system specialise in the digital production of dental prosthesis such as copings, crowns, and bridges. Supported CAD software include 3Shape, exocad, and <strong>Dental</strong> Wings. DWX series milling machines can process various dental materials such as Zirconia, Wax, PEEK, and PMMA. Custom milling The AK-1 abutment milling system is a series of attachments to the standard DWX-42W material holder that allows the custom milling of titanium abutments from popular manufacturers such as GeoMedi, MEDENTiKA, and NT-Trading, which support brands such as Nobel Biocare, Straumann, Dentsply and Zimmer. Features of the AK-1 abutment milling system 1. Effortless milling of titanium custom abutments Simply attach the abutment adapter and change out the filtration tray and milling burs to begin milling custom titanium abutments in-house. 2. New burs for milling titanium Specifically developed and optimised for milling titanium, the new milling burs provide stable and quality milling of custom abutments. ■ 66 DENTAL ASIA MAY / JUNE <strong>2020</strong>
