CEREC Tessera™ CAD/CAM blocks

CEREC TesseraTM blocks deliver faster total processing times, redefining the possibilities of single-visit dentistry. 

These ALD blocks arrive already partially crystallized, allowing for fast, accurate shade selection. 

They also enable faster firing—requiring only 4.5 minutes in a CEREC SpeedFire furnace, even with stains. Clinicians
can save up to 44% of total processing time (grinding + firing) without compromising on the full range of esthetic options. 

With simple processing and fast cooling, CEREC TesseraTM blocks deliver at every step to complement any workflow preference. 

CEREC TesseraTM blocks are the strongest glass ceramic blocks currently offered anywhere in the market—up to 32% stronger than the competition,1 with biaxial strength measured at more than 700 MPa. This strength allows for a conservative preparation design, with reduced risk of margin chipping. The unique combination of crystal structures and glass adds further assurance due to surface healing while firing. 

What do these strength properties mean for your restorations? 

You can use CEREC TesseraTM blocks with confidence for full-coverage crowns, inlays/onlays, and veneers. And you can count on the material’s strength even at wall thicknesses down to 1.0 mm, giving you greater flexibility in your restoration designs.
