GC Initial Titanium

GC has developed a special ceramic line for veneering of titanium frameworks and has integrated them into the GC Initial Ceramic System. As we all know, there are definite medical indications where titanium offers a real alternative. GC Initial Ti is always indicated in situations where especially high demands are placed on biocompatibility and the most superior aesthetics are expected, but full ceramic may not or cannot be applied. Firing is carried out at 780 °C (1st firing). The coefficient of thermal expansion is 8.6x10-6 K-1 (25 °-500 °C) – an optimum, specifically matched value that is unyieldingly adapted to the titanium base material. The coefficients of thermal expansion (CTE) of the GC Initial Systems are precisely aligned with those of the respective framework materials.
