Saving Time and Money Using Nonfiring Lithium Disilicate Materials
Clinicians desire solutions that are not only effective but also save time in everyday practice. The processing, firing, characterizing, and cooling of restorations can eat up a lot of time, particularly in high-volume practices that serve large patient populations.
Consider a material that eliminates the need for the firing process without sacrificing esthetics or durability. The GC Initial LiSi Block from GC America, crafted from lithium disilicate glass ceramic, does just that, according to Jacob Dent, DDS, who has been using these blocks in his practice since 2023.
“The biggest thing for me is the time savings,” Dr Dent says. “It’s the time, a factor which also plays a big role in the financial aspect of a dental practice. If I can get a chair back open in an hour versus 2, I can see a whole new patient.”
LiSi Blocks are formulated using GC’s proprietary high-density micronization (HDM) technology, which is identified by its densely packed microcrystals. These microcrystals offer a variety of benefits, says Gaurav Joshi, PhD, BDS, FICD, senior product marketing manager of GC America...
