CEREC Tessera

Advanced Lithium Disilicate

#1 Strength is the number-one feature clinicians look for in a CAD/CAM block.¹

• CEREC Tessera blocks are the strongest glass ceramic blocks currently offered anywhere in the market—up to 32% stronger than the competition,1 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 material’s strength even at wall thicknesses down to 1.0 mm, giving you greater flexibility in your  restoration designs.

#2 The second feature clinicians look for in a CAD/CAM block is esthetics.¹

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

CEREC Tessera blocks deliver faster total processing times, redefining the possibilities of single-visit dentistry.

• These ALD blocks arrive already partially crystallized, allowing for fast, accurate shade selection.
• They also enable faster firing—requiring only 4.5 minutes in a CEREC SpeedFire furnace, even with stains.
• Clinicians can save up to 44% of total processing time (grinding + firing) without compromising on the full range of esthetic options.
• With simple processing and fast cooling, CEREC Tessera blocks deliver at every step to complement any workflow preference.
