Authentic® Pressable Ceramic System

Authentic® is a new type of low fusing, leucite reinforced pressable ceramic that allows both a staining technique as well as a layering technique or the combination of the two.

The Authentic® pressable ceramic ingots can be cast/pressed with all pressing furnaces on the world market, including presses by Ivoclar and Intra Tech.

Because of its natural color appearance it matches the oral surroundings perfectly.

With Authentic® even the finest, most delicate forms can be accurately reproduced with perfectly natural esthetic control.

Full crowns, inlays, onlays and veneers can be created with superb color stability even using multiple firings.

Authentic® is 2 phase glass ceramic that allows you to reproduce unmatched esthetics using the simplest layering or staining techniques.

Because of the leucite crystals, a very homogenous structure is achieved which comes very close to the natural enamel in surface hardness and plaque affinity..

Small colored defects or build ups can also be masked and blocked out by an opaque luting agent.
