Types of Press Ingots

Press ingots come in various types, each with distinct characteristics suitable for different dental applications. The most common types include High Translucency (HT), Low Translucency (LT), Medium Opacity (MO), and High Opacity (HO). HT ingots are ideal for creating veneers and crowns that require a high level of aesthetic appeal, while LT ingots are better suited for inlays and onlays. The choice of ingot type depends on the desired level of translucency and opacity, as well as the specific requirements of the dental restoration. Lithium disilicate glass ceramic ingots, such as press lithium disilicate, are known for their high flexural strength and excellent fracture strength, making them a reliable choice for dental restorations.

High Flexural Strength of Lithium Disilicate Glass Ceramic for Lasting Durability

With a flexural strength of 480 MPa and Vickers hardness of 615 HV, the Ownsmile Press Ingot is designed to stand up to the demands of daily dental procedures. The high flexural strength and fracture toughness ensure long-term durability, so dental professionals can feel confident that their crowns, veneers, and inlays will withstand functional stress over time, giving patients restorations that last and perform consistently.

Outstanding Aesthetic Quality

Thanks to the pressing process, this ingot achieves superior translucency, making it ideal for esthetic restorations that reflect light like natural teeth. Dental professionals can create restorations that blend seamlessly with the natural dentition, providing aesthetic perfection for anterior crowns and veneers. The smooth, uniform structure ensures a high degree of light transmission, giving your patients lifelike results they’ll appreciate.

Minimal Shrinkage for a Perfect Fit

With a linear shrinkage rate of only 0.25%, the Ownsmile Press Ingot guarantees that restorations fit accurately and precisely, reducing the chance of misalignment. Dental professionals will appreciate the peace of mind knowing that their posterior crowns, bridges, and inlays will have optimal fit, ensuring that patients experience both functional and aesthetic benefits, including excellent marginal fit, with every restoration.

Versatile and Suitable for a Range of Restorations, Including Veneers

Whether it’s for ultra-thin veneers or monolithic bridges, the Ownsmile Press Ingot offers the versatility needed for a range of dental restorations, handling both anterior and posterior restorations. Its strength and aesthetic properties provide the reliability dental professionals need, especially in high-stress areas, giving them the flexibility to meet a variety of restorative challenges with ease and confidence.

Seamless Integration with Pressing Systems

The press ingot integrates effortlessly with multiple pressing systems, ensuring smooth handling and consistent results with any pressing technique. Dental professionals can expect predictable outcomes with minimal errors, allowing for optimized productivity and efficiency in busy labs. The material’s ease of use enhances workflow and minimizes unnecessary complications during the pressing process.

Efficient and Predictable Processing

Designed for ease of handling, the Ownsmile Press Ingot simplifies the pressing process for any dental technician with a drying temperature of 90°C and final holding time of just 7 minutes. Dental professionals will appreciate the predictability and consistency that this material provides, knowing that every restoration will meet the high standards required for precise, high-quality outcomes.

Manufacturing Process

The manufacturing process of press ingots involves a combination of advanced technology and skilled craftsmanship. The ingots are made from high-quality raw materials, including lithium disilicate glass ceramic, which is then pressed into the desired shape using a specialized press. The resulting ingot has a minimal reaction layer, allowing for precise fitting and a natural appearance. The manufacturing process is carefully controlled to ensure that each ingot meets the highest standards of quality and consistency. The press lithium disilicate ingot is then inspected for any defects and packaged for distribution.

Handling and Storage

Proper handling and storage of press ingots are crucial to maintaining their quality and integrity. The ingots should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. They should be handled with care, avoiding any scratches or damage that could compromise their structural integrity. It is also important to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for handling and storage to ensure the ingots remain in optimal condition. When not in use, the ingots should be kept in their original packaging to prevent damage and contamination.
