GC America CAD/CAM Blocks & Discs

CERASMART hybrid ceramic and GC Initial LRF lithium disilicate blocks, two different material philosophies for the same open mill.

CERASMART is nano-ceramic in a resin matrix: it flexes closer to dentine, absorbs occlusal load instead of transmitting it, mills without chipping and polishes chairside without a furnace. LRF is glass ceramic: higher strength and translucency, but it needs the firing step.

Pick by case, not by preference. Implant-supported crowns and bruxers favour the force-absorbing block; high-aesthetic anteriors favour the glass ceramic.
