Introduction

Hocera Luminous Press Ingot is a high-performance lithium disilicate (LS2) press ceramic developed for modern dental laboratories that demand precision, strength, and consistent esthetics.

This glass ceramic material combines excellent flexural strength with lifelike translucency. As a result, technicians can achieve reliable restorations without compromising visual quality. Moreover, the optimized microstructure ensures stable processing during pressing and crystallization.

Designed in compliance with ISO 6872, Hocera Luminous ingots support a wide range of indications. Therefore, they are suitable for both anterior esthetic cases and posterior functional restorations. Whether used for single units or short-span bridges, the material delivers predictable results.

Description

Material Performance and Advantages

Hocera Luminous ingots are manufactured from refined lithium disilicate (LS2) glass ceramic. This structure provides a balanced combination of strength and aesthetics.

• High flexural strength up to 400 MPa
  Ensures reliable performance under functional load.

• Natural translucency and color stability
  Delivers lifelike restorations that remain stable over time.

• Excellent pressability and flow behavior
  Allows accurate marginal reproduction and smooth surface detail.

• Controlled crystallization process
  Minimizes internal stress and improves long-term durability.

• Compatible with standard press ceramic systems
  Integrates easily into existing laboratory workflows.

In addition, Hocera Luminous ingots support efficient production. The predictable pressing behavior reduces remakes and improves overall laboratory productivity.

Shades

Hocera Luminous Press Ingots are available in carefully calibrated translucency levels to meet different clinical and esthetic requirements.

• HT (High Translucency):
  16 Vita shades + BL1, BL2, BL3, BL4

• LT (Low Translucency):
  16 Vita shades + BL1, BL2, BL3, BL4

As a result, dental laboratories can precisely control brightness, depth, and natural appearance across different indications.

Indications

Hocera Luminous Lithium Disilicate Press Ingots are indicated for:

• Veneers

• Inlays and onlays

• Partial crowns

• Anterior and posterior crowns

• Monolithic bridges up to 3 units

Therefore, this material is ideal for laboratories seeking a single press ceramic solution for multiple restorative scenarios.
