CEREC Materials Encompass All of Dentistry

There is no “secret block” when it comes to CEREC.   Any material can be used with Cerec chair-side or with Cerec In-Lab.   This is a review of the possible materials using the chair-side system.

We discuss all of the ceramics, acrylics, and composites that can be milled.   This would include materials from Ivoclar-Vivadent, Vita, 3M-ESPE, and Dentsply.

There are the standard monolithic ceramics, but there are exciting polychromatic blocks to use as well.   Milling chair-side zirconia is even possible!

Some of my favorite materials are:

eMax CAD:  lithium disilicate

TelioCAD: bis-acrylic for provisionals

Lava Ultimate:  composite

Vita:  Triluxe (feldspathic) and Enamic (composite)
With all of the material choices, CEREC represents everything possible in dentistry!  (Even gold!   That is done through CEREC InLab.)
