Lava™ Ultimate Restorative is a resin nano ceramic—a new class
of CAD/CAM material with unique functionality.
A resin nano ceramic has an elastic modulus that’s comparable to
dentin—which is much lower than what brittle glass ceramic materials
or PFM veneering porcelains provide.
This enables Lava Ultimate restorative to better absorb chewing forces
and reduce stress to the CAD/CAM restoration.
This is especially advantageous for crowns over implants. A tooth is
naturally protected by the flex of the periodontal ligament, but the
implant procedure removes the ligament, leaving no shock absorbance
or sensory function—so the crown may fracture or chip.
