Framework

  • ST – Standard Translucency

  • HT – High Translucency

  • UHT – Ultra-High Translucency

  • Up to 1200 MPa (ST & HT)

  • Up to 600 MPa (UHT)

GC Initial Zirconia Disks exhibit excellent biocompatibility, rigidity, and optimal edge stability. Thanks to the perfect balance between strength and aesthetic possibilities, the most stunning monolithical restorations can be created with a perfect transition from the gingiva to the tooth.

Three translucency levels: natural aesthetics or strong ability to mask discoloration

Optimal edge stability and millability

Reduced inventory, can be used for any tooth shade

Customisation with Initial Zirconia Coloring Liquid, IQ ONE SQIN and/or Zr-FS

Choose ST or HT for hybrid abutments or multi-unit abutments / full-arch restorations

Superior aesthetics

True-to-nature shade and translucency gradient for anterior and posterior restorations.

High strength

Classified as a Class V according to
DIN EN ISO 6872 with a mean value of >1.100 MPa.

Omni-functional

Versatile and suitable for a broad range of clinical indications. Fast sintering or regular sintering.

Zirconium dioxide Type II Class V DIN EN ISO 6872

Flexural strength: typical mean value >1.100 MPa

High translucency gradient from >45% to >49%

Fast sintering for crowns and bridges up to 3 units

Natural gradient

Stunningly natural: a seamless gradient from cervical to incisal, in shade as well as translucency gradients, mimicking the natural tooth structure in the best possible way.

Superior aesthetics with a combined shade and translucency gradient.

High strength throughout all layers, making it suitable for a wide range of indications.

Limits the required finishing with a framework in the right colour tone.

Optimal synergy with Initial Zirconia Coloring Liquid and the IQ ONE SQIN concept for high-end individualisation.

All 16 V-shades and 3 bleach types are available in 14, 16, 20 & 25 mm thick disks with a diameter of 98.5 mm.

Framework characterisations

Paint

Ultimate frame customisation

Precisely controlled and localised colour penetration.

Reduces the need for post-sintering colour adjustments.

Dip

Deep, even colour distribution

Consistent and reproducible results in a fast and easy manner.

Finishing

With GC Initial IQ ONE SQIN – the paintable colour-and-form ceramic system – you can quickly and easily achieve high aesthetic results, comparable to conventionally layered restorations but with a significant time gain.

Initial Zr-FS is a refined feldspar based veneering ceramic for use with high strength zirconia frameworks. The unequalled natural optical effects and increased stability after multiple firings, make it ideal for the fabrication of high demanding aesthetical crowns, complex and delicate substructures such as bridges on teeth or implants.

Both white and red aesthetics

To make gingival restorations with Initial even more aesthetic and more natural, the add-on set Initial Zr-FS Gum Shades meets all the requirements for highly aesthetic gingival reproductions.
