Why prescribe 3G Esthetics?
The patented technology of 3G® Esthetics allows dental laboratories to produce consistent, high-strength, lithium disilicate, glass-ceramic restorations. The microstructure, consisting of needle-like crystals, results in a strong framework highly resistant to cracking. The new 3G® HS pellet will consistently produce restorations with impeccable marginal integrity and has increased core strength by over 40% compared to the original 3G pellet. The increased strength of 3G HS enables conventional cementation techniques to be utilized under proper clinical conditions. The coefficients of Thermal Expansion (CTE) for the core and the overlay porcelain are precisely matched, making them compatible and highly fracture resistant (core CTE = 10.3 ppm; overlay CTE=9.8 ppm).
