CEREC Tessera: MT - A3 - C14 (4)

CEREC Tessera: MT - A3 - C14 (4)

CEREC Tessera™ from Dentsply Sirona is an advanced lithium disilicate offering simple shade selection, fast firing, fast cooling and simplified processing, saving up to 44% total processing time, redefining the possibilities of single-visit dentistry. 

One choice for beauty, strength and speed without unwanted trade-offs, CEREC Tessera™ advanced lithium disiliate. 

CEREC Tessera™ blocks achieve exceptional three-way performance through a unique chemistry that incorporates two complimentary crystal structures within a glassy zirconia matrix. These two crystals work together to create an unprecedented fusion of strength and beauty in one block while significantly improving overall processing time. 

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 aesthetics that give the convincing appearance of natural teeth. 

The Strong CEREC Block

Strength is the number-one feature clinicians look for in a CAD/CAM block:

CEREC Tessera™ blocks are the strongest glass ceramic blocks currently offered anywhere in the market—up to 32% stronger than the competition, with biaxial strength measured at more than 700 MPa. 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 materials strength even at wall thicknesses down to 1.0 mm, giving you greater flexibility in your restoration designs.

The Aesthetic CEREC Block

The second feature clinicians look for in a CAD/CAM block is aesthetics:

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 aesthetic that relies on the properties of light refraction, transmission, and absorption—making CEREC Tessera™ blocks the ideal choice for even the most highly visible aesthetic restorations.
