Jensen Dental | Authentic
Authentic low-fusing, leucite-reinforced pressable ceramic allows both a staining technique as well as a layering technique or the combination of the two. The Authentic pressable ceramic ingots can be pressed with all pressing furnaces on the market, including Jensen’s Vario Press 300 by Zubler. It exhibits a natural color appearance to optimally match the oral environment. Full crowns, inlays, and onlays as well as veneers can be created with exceptional color stability even using multiple firings. A two-phase glass ceramic, Authentic makes it possible to reproduce esthetics using the simplest layering or staining techniques. Because of the leucite crystals, a homogenous structure is achieved that comes very close to the natural enamel in surface hardness and plaque affinity.
