Let us inspire you. Discover the opportunities that Lava offers your practice, your patients and your laboratory.

3 CAD/CAM manufactured frameworks of high-strength zirconium oxide Individually coloured frameworks in eight shades Dentin-like, natural translucency Aesthetically tapered edges, even supragingival Lava CrownsAnd Bridges:A Precise Match Of Aesthetics And Strength Zirconium Oxide Combines Natural Appearence With High Strength Lava crowns and bridges possess a translucent framework of high-strength zirconium oxide. The CAD/CAM-manufactured framework can be matched precisely to the colour of the patient s teeth, and its translucence mimics that of natural dentin. Excellent Aesthetics With Individually Coloured Frameworks The customized veneer ceramic Lava Ceram builts onto this unique framework. Excellent results with a perfectly natural transition between veneer ceramic, framework and preparation margin at the tapered edge of the crown are the result, even supragingival. With Lava, a distinct shoulder either for support of the framework or for aesthetic reasons as common for traditional all-ceramic restorations is not necessary anymore. The concept of Lava is striving to mimic nature. With a choice of individually coloured, translucent frameworks in eight different shades you are able to offer your patients natural aesthetics with a consistent solution for the anterior and posterior region (bridge 11-13) (Source: Teamwork by MDT J.

5 Lava Crowns And Bridges From The Laboratory You Trust Together, The Dental Practice And Laboratory Can Achieve More Any long-term relationship between a dental practice and a laboratory tells its own success story. It represents a value that cannot necessarily be quantified, yet it is essential for the success of your practice, for the satisfaction that comes from a job well done, and for the appreciation by your patients. Our goal is to increase this value for you by enhancing the range of possible restorations together with your laboratory, and Lava. Dependable teamwork with your preferred laboratory Excellent veneering quality provided by your dental technician No need for the laboratory to purchase new equipment Utilizing Technology Without Facing The Obstacle Of New Investments Without purchasing equipment or assuming other investment risks, your laboratory will be able to take advantage of the latest technology available at the Lava milling centres and optimize its own internal resources. This is how easy it is for Lava to open up new horizons for you and to strengthen the special relationship between you and your laboratory. Lava Crowns And Bridges A Matter of Trust

6 Overcoming Old Indication Limits Suitable For Anterior And Posterior Applications For decades, PFM restorations have set the standards for strength, durability, and marginal fit. With Lava, these standards can now be achieved just as easy hence more beautiful. Due to the outstanding properties of the framework material zirconium oxide Lava crowns and bridges are suitable for anterior and posterior applications. And due to this property profile, it is also used for a broad range of applications in other industries for more than 20 years. Suitable for anterior and posterior applications Much stronger than conventional all-ceramic materials Excellent durability High Strength And Durability The fracture strength of zirconium oxide is many times higher than that of conventional all-ceramic materials. It exceeds the stress requirements in the oral cavity by far and also allows the edges to be delicately shaped. Its excellent durability is clinically convincing, and therefore, Lava crowns and bridges offer you and your patients the security of proven dependability.

7 Similar tooth preparation as for PFM Easy cementation A Small Step For You A Big Step For Your Patients Made To Fit Your Treatment Routine Lava fits easily into established processes, treatment procedures and collaborative arrangements, and therefore few things will change in your practice - from the familiar chamfer or shoulder preparation to the impression, the making of the model, and the easy cementation of the veneered crowns and bridges. You will work with the lab you trust, as usual, and receive the reliable veneering quality from your preferred dental technician. The production of the framework is the only work the lab will delegate to a Lava milling centre. The working procedure between dental practise and laboratory remains the same, only the manufacturing of the framework is done by the Lava milling centre
