Print/Press Workflow With a Novel Silicate Ceramic Material: A Case Report.

Digital technology that utilizes 3D printing has become a viable alternative to the traditional fabrication of wax patterns and definitive restorations for pressable ceramics. Digital workflows afford clinicians fewer variables, improved repeatability, and faster design and fabrication times. The print/press technique for producing zirconia-reinforced lithium-disilicate restorations offers benefits in terms of convenience, precision, and improved mechanical properties. This article describes an efficient workflow for monolithic ceramic restorations using the print/press technique and a novel zirconia-reinforced silicate ceramic.
