Visalys^® BioCeramic Block

A new generation of biomimetic CAD/CAM restorative material on the market. Suitable for inlays, onlays, overlays, partial crowns, veneers, full crowns - anterior & posterior, and implant-supported crowns. Thanks to the special vitrification/laser sintering manufacturing process, the unique material structure combines strength, flexibility, and aesthetics. This enables the simple, fast, and cost-effective fabrication of durable chairside restorations in a single visit.

The material properties ensure restorations that are virtually biomimetic, resulting in fewer complications, satisfied patients, and minimally invasive treatments.

VISALYS BioCeramic Block is a CAD/CAM block for permanent restorations:

Inlays

Onlays/ Overlays

Partial Crowns

Veneers

Full Crowns - Anterior and Posterior

Implant-Supported Crowns

Inspired by nature, the material used in the VISALYS BioCeramic Block combines the best properties of three CAD/CAM materials commonly available on the market:

The Aesthetic Qualities of Glass-Ceramic

Natural Translucency
Opalescence
Flexible Color Matching

The ultra-fine glass microstructure ensures a lasting high gloss and outstanding aesthetics.

The Compressive Strength of Particle-Filled Ceramics/Hybrid Ceramics

High compressive strength due to the aluminum oxide component
Stability combined with good bite feel and a natural chewing behaviour
Fracture resistant and edge-stable

The silicate-based glass-ceramic phase is embedded in a resin/polymer matrix and achieves a strength comparable to that of lithium disilicate while maintaining dentin-like elasticity.

The Flexibility of Composites

Chip-Resistant
Easy to work with
Repairable in the mouth
Gentle on burs

The small amount of resin contained in the block ensures easy workability and a flexibility that mimics that of a natural tooth.

Due to its homogeneous material structure, the VISALYS BIOCERAMIC BLOCK has an attractive translucency / opalescence and fluorescence with natural light reflections. A short polishing step is sufficient to achieve a high-gloss surface.

The VISALYS BIOCERAMIC BLOCK is a unique, optimally pre-sintered hybrid glass block, characterized by unparalleled homogeneity, which makes its positive material properties possible in the first place. The material does not require firing and glazing.

$The material consists of a silica-based glass-ceramic phase integrated within a resin / polymer matrix giving it strength, while retaining dentin-like elasticity. This supports tooth-like behaviour under chewing forces with high fracture strength.$
