<strong>GC</strong> INITIAL PC<br />

Ideal for the fabrication of veneers, inlays and onlays using the<br />

pressing technique .<br />

› › Natural opacity<br />

› › Optimally cross-matched coefficient of thermal expansion<br />

› › Firing temperature of 950°C<br />

› › Suitable for staining and layering<br />

› › Identical shade system for layering<br />

› › High fracture and thermal stability<br />

› › Easy processing and robust stability<br />

› › Combines with <strong>GC</strong> Initial LF for a complete full ceramic<br />

system<br />
