A4 INDUSTRY NEWS Dental Tribune U.S. Edition | March 2018 Restorative material mimics dentition’s modulus of elasticity and thermo-cycling By VOCO Staf f VOCO has introduced Grandio blocs, the new 86 percent filled nano-ceramic resin hybrid CAD/CAM block indicated for crowns, inlays/onlays, veneers and implant-supported crowns. With a combination of optimal tooth- like physical properties, category-leading compressive strength, extremely low wa- ter absorption and natural esthetics with enhanced color stability, Grandio blocs provide a new solution for practitioners and labs looking to streamline CAD/CAM processes and deliver high-quality resto- rations, according to the company. Because of its extreme high-filler de- gree of 86 percent, Grandio blocs offer physical properties that mimic human dentition — such as modulus of elastic- ity and thermo-cycling. HINMAN BOOTH NO. 701 fer enhanced marginal integ- rity and overall longevity. With their superior strength — espe- cially when compared with the composite-based CAD/CAM blocks — Grandio blocs provide a unique high-quality restorative solution, accord- ing to the company. A unique nano-ceramic resin hybrid make-up supports excellent polishabil- ity and means that Grandio blocs can be milled more finely and achieve greater accuracy of fit — and esthetics are as good as pure ceramic CAD/CAM blocks, the company asserts. Additional advantages are realized by the material’s ease-of-use: It eliminates the firing process, simplifies polishing and allows for intraoral repairs. Processed using standard milling de- vices, Grandio blocs are available in mul- tiple shades and two sizes. Because Grandio blocs behave like natural tooth structure, they’re able to be antagonistically friendly and of- To learn more, you can contact VOCO at www.vocoamerica.com, (888) 658-2584 or infousa@voco.com.
