Lava Ultimate
™
Restorative
A shock-absorbing material
with unique functionality.
You’ll love this
breakthrough
CAD/CAM material.
Lava™ Ultimate Restorative is a CAD/CAM material
that’s amazing in every way—from its esthetics and
excellent durability to its unique functionality.
Its innovative characteristics make it
especially impressive for
implant-supported crowns.
And if it’s reliable in that tough role, just
imagine how it will perform in other
challenging single-unit indications.
• Crowns
• Onlays
• Inlays
• Veneers
And, eight natural-looking shades
and two translucencies help to make
it one of the most versatile CAD/CAM
materials ever.
Easy to mill—
no firing required.
Lava Ultimate restorative brings new meaning to the
word “productivity.” The less brittle nature allows
for easy milling, and no post-firing means your
restoration is finished faster.
Lava Ultimate Restorative
is a uniquely different
CAD/CAM material.

Lava™ Ultimate Restorative is a resin nano ceramic—a new class
of CAD/CAM material with unique functionality.
Gum Tissue
A resin nano ceramic has an elastic modulus that’s comparable to
dentin—which is much lower than what brittle glass ceramic materials
or PFM veneering porcelains provide. This enables Lava Ultimate
restorative to better absorb chewing forces and reduce stress to
the CAD/CAM restoration.
This is especially advantageous for crowns over implants. A tooth is
naturally protected by the flex of the periodontal ligament, but the
implant procedure removes the ligament, leaving no shock absorbance
or sensory function—so the crown may fracture or chip.
Abutment
Implant
Bone
Periodontal Ligament
(absorbs chewing forces)
It’s tough, resilient and durable
—with a 10-year warranty*
The impressive durability of resin nano ceramic also comes from
its high flexural strength of 200 MPa, making Lava Ultimate restorative
a tough CAD/CAM material with excellent resiliency.
Natural-looking and tough.
Before
After
A fractured partial crown made with glass ceramic material was replaced with
a crown milled from Lava™ Ultimate Restorative.

Whether you have a chairside system or not, there are many reasons
to prefer Lava Ultimate restorative. It’s tough, yet gentle. Resilient, yet
easy to adjust. It truly is the ultimate CAD/CAM restorative material.
• Less wear to opposing enamel than glass ceramics
• Easy to adjust and re-polish, right in your operatory, so you
can achieve the ideal occlusion
• It allows access to an abutment and implant at any time.
Just cut a hole, reseal it with a composite, and re-polish

3M’s TRUE nanotechnology is the difference.
It’s easy to adjust.
Cementation
The CAD/CAM material
you can work on just like
real tooth structure.
With the unique chemistry of Lava Ultimate restorative, you can work on
it like real tooth structure. That means you can adjust a crown for proper
occlusion with additive or subtractive techniques. No need to send it out.

Lava Ultimate restorations must be bonded with
an adhesive resin cement. 3M ESPE recommends
RelyX™ Ultimate Adhesive Resin Cement with
Scotchbond™ Universal Adhesive—the primer
and adhesive are in one bottle. The flexibility
of this system enables you to etch the tooth
preparation using a self-etch, selective-etch
or a total-etch technique all with one system.
