The GC Initial Ceramic System also offers perspectives for special metal ceramic indications. GC Initial LF has been designed for the low-fusing technique whereas GC Initial Ti is always indicated in situations where high demands are placed on biocompatibility and the most superior aesthetics are expected. Fully aligned with the other ceramics of the range, the benefits of these specialized metal ceramics translate into simple handling, systematic and straightforward components and materials enhanced by optimised processing – all of which produce consistently superb aesthetics and optimal cost-effectiveness.
° Optimised shrinkage properties and good polishability
