Authentic is the first ceramic system developed with all the advantages of the most commonly used techniques - PFM and pressable ceramics united in one. For the first time we can now fulfil the difficult task of a hybrid solution in the area of anterior and posterior restorations with one ceramic. Now, PFM crowns and bridges can be made next to full ceramic restorations while using the same ceramic system. The final result is to achieve identical esthetics in all lighting conditions. Authentic produces a very high level of translucency and light diffusion to perfectly imitate the reflections of colours in natural dentition, no matter which technique is used. The broad spectrum of indications includes full ceramic inlays and onlays, veneers, full crowns and multiple unit metal reinforced bridges. Almost any esthetic restoration is achievable.

By using adhesive based glassfibered-composite cores, even endodontically treated abutment teeth can be restored in full ceramic with high translucency. Because of highly accurate marginal fits, luting gaps are virtually invisible. This also results in very low tension build up between the restoration and tooth structure. To provide ultimate and long-term results with respect to all ceramic restorations, it is a must to make use of the adhesive bonding techniques when luting. This assures the highest bond between tooth structure and ceramic material.

The Authentic pressable ceramic provides great advantages for the technician to transfer functional occlusion techniques from wax to ceramic for accurate and highly profitable results. With the occlusal abrasion of Authentic being very similar to the natural dentition, the long-term functional result is unquestioned. In the following examples of cases you can see various indications for Authentic Press Ceramic and Press-To-Metal techniques.
