Clinicians and dental technicians all over the world have been using the Amber range of lithium disilicate glass ceramics to create aesthetic, reliable and hardwearing restorations. Now, DB Lab Supplies is delighted to be in partnership with Korean manufacturer HASS Bio (Human Aid System Supplier) to bring Amber to the UK market.
A revolutionary machinable lithium disilicate
Economical and efficient in application, Amber materials have excellent optical properties, a simple processing method and possess an impressive flexural strength. Consequently, Amber Mill lithium disilicate ceramics are creating a demand among dental technicians and clinicians. The Amber family includes blocks and blanks for milling (Amber Mill), ingots for pressing (Amber Press), and ingots for pressing over zirconia frameworks (Amber Lisi POZ).
Amber Mill: achieve greater control over translucency
Amber Mill is available in blocks and blanks. And so it is suitable for the fabrication of crowns, bridges, inlays onlays and veneers. The nano-lithium disilicate technology (NLD) offers a range of advantages. These include the unique ability to control translucency by adjusting the firing temperature – therefore one ingot can produce four variations – HT, MT, LT and MO.
The user selects the translucency and the firing temperature determines this. During the heat treatment, crystal size and density are increased and consequently the mechanical properties are reinforced and translucency value changed. The higher the temperature when firing, the more opaque the restoration.
Even after finalising, the translucency can still be adjusted as the restoration can be re-fired from HT-MT onwards. As a result users can achieve a wide spectrum of light-optical properties with a quarter of the usual number of blanks required. Due to its natural-looking light-reflecting properties (remarkable opalescence and fluorescence), Amber Mill produces excellent aesthetics.
High edge stability
The biaxial flexural strength is 450 MPa after crystallisation, making restorations monolithic, and its strength in its milling state is 250MPa. These properties therefore result in high-edge stability with more predictable mills and no chipping. Amber Mill is also compatible with the majority of veneering ceramics.
Discover new frontiers in lithium disilicate with Amber Mill
Amber Mill’s revolutionary technology offers freedom of translucency with a quarter of the stock levels. Therefore proving it deserves a place on your inventory list. Offering the entire vita spectrum including bleach shades, impressive biaxial flexure strength, and outstanding machinability, you can consequently produce restorations that possess excellent aesthetics and durability, time and time again.
