Evolution Lite

Evolution Lite is a reduced-gold ceramic alloy, suitable for conventional metal-ceramics. The higher strength imparts this alloy with a high marginal strength, in particular during multiple firing, and allows accurately fitting restorations to be produced.

Indications*

Onlays, ¾ crowns, crowns
Telescope crowns, conus crowns
Bridges
Wide-span bridges
Cast posts / cores, bars, attachments
Implant-supported superstructures
Partial dentures
