Optimizing Strength and Esthetics 

Lithium disilicate (LS2) glass-ceramic is ideally suitable for the fabrication of monolithic single-tooth restorations. This innovative ceramic provides highly esthetic results and, compared to other glass-ceramics, demonstrates a strength that is 2.5 to 3 times higher. Supported with zirconium oxide, it may also be used for bridges in the posterior area.

Prep Requirements
Anterior full-coverage crowns require a Chamfer with 1.5-2.0mm facial reduction, 1 - 1.5 mm lingual contact clearance, 1.5 - 2 mm incisal reduction 1 - 1.5 mm reduction at the gingival margin with rounded internal line angles; or a Shoulder with 1 mm lingual reduction, 2 mm incisal reduction, 1.5 mm labial reduction, 1 mm 360 degree rounded shoulder.
-------------------------------------
Posterior full-coverage crowns require a Chamfer margin with 1.5 - 2 mm occlusal reduction, 1.5 mm buccal and lingual reduction with rounded internal line angles; or a Shoulder with 1.5 - 2 mm occlusal reduction, 1.5 mm buccal and lingual reduction and 1 - 1.5 mm gingival margin reduction with rounded internal line angles.
-------------------------------------
Inlays and Onlays require 1.5 - 2 mm isthmus width, 1 - 1.5 mm wide gingival floor with rounded internal line angles and butt joint margins.
-------------------------------------
Veneers require a uniform preparation and lingual reduction to increase strength. A medium-grit round-ended diamond is used to join the depth cut grooves to establish a uniform preparation and porcelain thickness of at least 1 mm. The diamond is angled to eliminate undercuts and establish a butt joint on the lingual aspect of the preparation. The incisal edge should be rounded to eliminate sharp line angles.
-------------------------------------
Chamfer Margins - Correct preparation of the chamfer margins interproximally allows the appropriate bulk of porcelain.

Recomended Cementation
For greatest strength, and where preparation allows for dry field (supra-gingiva margins), it is recommended to use Adhesive bonding, such as VarioLink II (Ivoclar) or other dual cure materials like Choice (Bisco).
-------------------------------------
For areas subgingival, or when a dry field cannot be achieved, Ivoclar recommends a Hybrid Glass Ionomer cement system with less than 0.5% expansion. (NOTE: Resin-reinforced glass ionomers such as Advance & Vitremer are not indicated for any all-ceramic restoration.)
