Premium Lithium Disilicate Ingots - OnePro Dental

OnePro Dental Pressable Lithium Disilicate Glass Ceramic Ingots are developed specifically for dental laboratories that prefer traditional pressable workflows while demanding outstanding esthetics and predictable clinical performance.

These lithium disilicate ingots offer excellent translucency, stable press behavior, and reliable mechanical strength, making them an ideal solution for fabricating crowns, veneers, inlays, and onlays. With a uniform microstructure and consistent pressing results, dental labs can achieve natural-looking restorations with high efficiency and confidence.

Key Advantages:

• Superior Esthetics with natural translucency and lifelike appearance
• Reliable Flexural Strength (≥ 470 MPa) for long-term durability
• Excellent Pressability with consistent flow and minimal defects
• Uniform Microstructure for predictable results
• Wide Shade Selection for accurate color matching
• Compatible with Standard Dental Press Furnaces
• Optimized for efficient laboratory workflows

Pressable Lithium Disilicate vs CAD/CAM Blocks

Both pressable ingots and CAD/CAM blocks are widely used in dental laboratories, depending on workflow preferences.

Pressable Lithium Disilicate Ingots

• Ideal for traditional press techniques
• Excellent surface quality and color continuity
• Particularly suitable for highly aesthetic anterior restorations

Lithium Disilicate CAD/CAM Blocks

• Designed for digital milling workflows
• Faster turnaround in fully digital labs
• High precision with open CAD/CAM systems

Choosing the right form depends on your laboratory's production process and equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

💡 Product Specifications & Materials

Q: What restorations can be made with pressable lithium disilicate ingots?
A: Our ingots are ideal for single crowns, veneers, inlays, and onlays. They excel in cases requiring superior esthetics, particularly for anterior restorations where natural translucency is critical.

Q: What's the difference between HT and LT translucency options?
A: HT (High Translucency) offers superior light transmission, perfect for anterior restorations and thin veneers where natural esthetics are paramount. LT (Low Translucency) provides better masking ability for discolored preparations and posterior restorations requiring higher opacity.

🔥 Press Furnace & Processing

Q: Are these ingots compatible with my press furnace?
A: Yes, they are compatible with most standard dental press furnaces, including Ivoclar Programat, Zubler Vario Press, Mihm-Vogt Multimat, Dekema Austromat, and similar systems. Please verify your furnace can reach 920°C pressing temperature.

Q: What investment materials are recommended?
A: Our ingots work well with standard lithium disilicate investment materials such as IPS PressVEST, Bellavest, and similar phosphate-bonded investments designed for press ceramics.

Q: What is the recommended pressing temperature?
A: Press at 920°C with a heating rate of 50°C/min from 700°C. Holding time is 15 minutes for restorations under 100g, or 20 minutes for 100-200g. Press holding time is 3 minutes.

Q: Is crystallization required after pressing?
A: Yes, crystallization is essential. After pressing, divesting, and finishing, restorations must be crystallized in a porcelain furnace to achieve final strength (≥470 MPa), accurate shade, and optimal translucency.

Q: How long does the complete pressing cycle take?
A: The complete pressing cycle (including heating, holding, and pressing) takes approximately 30-40 minutes, depending on restoration weight. Crystallization adds another 25-30 minutes.

🎨 Clinical Applications

Q: Can I use these ingots for posterior bridges?
A: Our ingots are suitable for 3-unit anterior bridges and single posterior crowns. For multi-unit posterior bridges (4+ units) under high occlusal load, we recommend our zirconia materials for superior fracture resistance.

Q: Can I stain and customize these restorations?
A: Absolutely! After crystallization, you can apply ceramic stains for characterization and individualization. The material accepts stains excellently and develops a beautiful surface gloss after final glazing.

📦 Ordering & Packaging

Q: What is your shipping time?
A: We offer fast global shipping. Standard delivery typically takes 5-10 business days, depending on your location. Express shipping options are available for urgent orders.

Q: Do you offer bulk discounts for dental laboratories?
A: Yes! We provide competitive pricing for volume orders and lab-scale production. Contact our sales team for bulk pricing, partnership opportunities, and customized solutions.
