Authentic® is a low fusing, leucite reinforced pressable ceramic that allows both a staining technique as well as a layering technique or the combination of the two.

Because of its natural color appearance it matches the oral surroundings perfectly. With Authentic® even the finest, most delicate forms can be accurately reproduced with perfectly natural esthetic control. Full crowns, inlays, onlays and veneers can be created with superb color stability even using multiple firings.

Because of the leucite crystals, a very homogenous structure is achieved which comes very close to the natural enamel in surface hardness and plaque affinity.

Authentic® has three levels of opacity for each shade. A1 is very translucent, A1+ has a bit more opacity, and A1++ will block out most non-black stains or metals. Ingots come in all vita shades and all three levels of opacity.

Another key feature of Authentic® is the ability to have a metal substructure for bridges or single unit crowns.
