Lava™ Ultimate Restorative is a resin nano ceramic-a new class of CAD/CAM material with unique functionality. A resin nano ceramic has an elastic modulus that's comparable to dentin which is lesser than what brittle glass ceramic materials or PFM veneering porcelains provide. This enables Lava™ Ultimate Restorative to better absorb chewing forces and reduce stress to the CAD/CAM restoration.This is especially advantageous for crowns over implants. The impressive durability of resin nano ceramic also comes from its high flexural strength of 200 MPa, making Lava™ Ultimate Restorative a tough CAD/CAM material with excellent resiliency.

The less brittle nature of Lava™ Ultimate Restorative allows for easy milling and better edge quality.

A resin nano ceramic has an elastic modulus that's comparable to dentin - which is much lower than what brittle glass ceramic materials or PFM veneering porcelains provide. This emables Lava™ Ultimate Restorative to better absorb chewing forces and reduce stress to the restoration - which is especially advantageous for crowns over implants.

Lava™ Ultimate Restorative Shock absorbency The periodontal ligament is removed by the implant procedure, which removes shock absorbance or sensory function - so the crown may fracture or chip.
You can benefit immediately by the unique handling and functional advantages
Whether you have a chairside system or not, there are many reasons to prefer Lava™ Ultimate Restorative. It's tough, yet gentle. Resilient, yet easy to adjust. It truly is the ultimate CAD/CAM Restorative material.

Lava™ Ultimate Restorative wears far less on opposing dentition compared to glass ceramic materials

This study shows Lava™ Ultimate Restorative is the only material that maintains its initial strength when changing from a dry to a wet environment. However, all materials show a decrease in strength upon cycle fatigue in water. 3M™ ESPE™ internal data.
