Product Description
SHOFU Block & Disk HC
Product Overview:
- Shofu Block & Disk HC represents a new generation of CAD/CAM composites, offering clinicians the ability to restore teeth in a single appointment.
Innovative Formulation:
- This material features a formulation designed to minimize flaws attributed to conventional ceramic materials, resulting in more durable restorations.
Components:
- Composed of 61% zirconium silicate, a densely packed nanofiller that forms a skeleton which uniformly absorbs masticatory forces and promotes resistance to breakdown phenomena.
Machinability:
- Manifests better machinability in terms of milling time, damage tolerance, wear of milling instruments, and the ability to be fabricated in a very low thickness.
Physical Properties:
- The high flexural strength of 191 MPa and Vickers hardness of 66 Hv0.2 make it a good candidate for both anterior and posterior restorations, implant-supported cases, and long-term provisionals.
Biocompatibility:
- The hardness of the material also demonstrates values closer to dentin, thus no excessive antagonist wear can be observed, which is a concern when using aesthetic and high-strength ceramics.
advantages:
- niversal indications – anterior/posterior crowns, inlays/onlays, veneers.
- Faster milling; better accuracy and marginal integrity.
- No firing/sintering – simplify the workflow.
- Can be adjusted/repaired intraorally.
- Life-like aesthetics with fluorescence of natural dentition.
- BPA-Free.
Light Transmission:
- Dentition-like light transmission makes this optimally balanced hybrid ceramic ideal for the production of highly aesthetic anterior restorations.
Flexibility and Absorption Capacity:
- With superior flexural strength and low flexural modulus, the material has excellent capability to diffuse stress, making it an ideal alternative to lithium disilicate and zirconia.
Speed and Precision:
- Shofu Block & Disk HC is milled quickly and precisely and polished to a high gloss in a very short time, and the restoration can be cemented or screw-retained immediately.
Natural Aesthetics:
- The Two-Layer Shofu Blocks HC efficiently create aesthetically pleasing anterior and posterior restorations.b
Two-Layer Design:
- The bilayered blocks are modeled after the layering of natural teeth with a chromatic opaque dentin layer and a translucent layer of enamel.
Shading:
- Effortlessly achieve consistent and accurate shade matching while reducing chairside time and treatment cost.
Optical Properties:
- The optical properties of Shofu Blocks & Disks HC demonstrate the translucency and light diffusion of natural teeth and blend with the surrounding tissue with ease.
Microarchitecture:
- The proprietary microarchitecture of the material supports high wear resistance and superior gloss retention allowing for a broad range of indications.
Availability:
- Shofu CAD/CAM composite, Blocks & Disks HC, are manufactured in one- and two-layer blocks and disks. They are available in common tooth shades and translucencies, based on the VITA* Classical shade system.
Finishing & Polishing Technique:
- Shofu Blocks & Disks HC can be easily finished, polished, and adjusted intraorally with the same instruments as direct resin composites.
Finished Restorations:
- Furthermore, they can retain their gloss, shade, and surface anatomy nearly as effectively as traditional ceramics.
Complementary Products:
- A variety of complementary products are available to support the use of Shofu Block & Disk HC, including:
- Block Butler (for block storage)
- HC Primer
- MonoCem (resin cement)
- ResiCem (resin cement)
- Dura-Polish (polishing paste)
