A force-absorbing hybrid ceramic block for CEREC milling machines. The genius behind GC’s force absorbing hybrid ceramic is the development of a unique technology to manufacture a block with high density of ultrafine glass particles. Uniform dispersion (very short inter-particle distance) of individually silanated and bonded particles is key to delivering CERASMART’s exceptional strength, polish retention and wear resistance. CERASMART not only looks incredible, but also sets the new standard for hybrid ceramic’s strength, fracture toughness and wear resistance. Core to its exceptional physical and aesthetic properties is a hybrid structure containing a high density of ultrafine glass particles. This structure allows light movement that brings natural opalescence and translucency as well as a high gloss finish that lasts.
