Bring innovation to your practice with CEREC Tessera™.
The CAD CAM block providing a trifecta of performance with speed, strength, and esthetics.
Single-visit indirect restorations CEREC blocks should seamlessly integrate into your workflow. Trade-offs shouldn’t be part of the consideration process. With state-of-the-art technology, you don’t need to compromise. Esthetics and strength. Strength and speed. Esthetics and speed. All combinations come standard to help you deliver state-of-the-art restorations.
CEREC Tessera™ - Advanced Lithium Disilicate is one material ready to be integrated into your digital workflow as your go-to glass ceramic block or in combination with CEREC MTL® Zirconia for a complete CEREC block offering.
New! CEREC Tessera™ Abutment Block - combines Implant and Restorative Dentistry.
CEREC Tessera™ Abutment blocks are a product extension of CEREC Tessera™ Advanced Lithium Disilicate Blocks. The CEREC Tessera™ ceramic structure cemented to the TiBase is recommended for two-piece hybrid abutments for single tooth restorations and hybrid abutment crowns, used in conjunction with endosseous dental implants.
Benefits
Why choose CEREC Tessera™?
High-strength glass ceramic block
Up to 32% stronger than the competition with biaxial strength measured at more than 700 MPa.1
Tooth-like esthetics
The dual crystal stucture interacts with the visible light spectrum for ideal translucence, flourescence and opalescence.
Fast total processing time
Clinicians can save up to 44% of total processing time (grinding and firing) without compromising on the full range of esthetic options.1
Broad Case Indications
Indicated for use for single-unit full contour crowns, inlays, onlays, and veneers.

ABOUT ADVANCED LITHIUM DISILICATE
An innovative material
CEREC Tessera blocks achieve exceptional three-way performance through a unique chemistry that incorporates two complementary crystal structures within a glassy zirconia matrix. These two crystals work together to create an unprecedented fusion of strength and beauty in one block while significantly improving overall processing time.
Lithium disilicate
Rod-shaped crystals provide strength in the same manner as rebar embedded in cement. These crystals increase the density of the material while helping protect against crack propagation.
Virgilite
Used in glass ceramics, these crystals are unique to CEREC Tessera material. They are activated through the matrix firing process and add strength while contributing to the outstanding esthetics that give the convincing appearance of natural teeth.
TESTIMONIALS

SINGLE-UNIT CROWN WORKFLOW
Super-Fast Processing
CEREC Tessera™ blocks enable unprecedented processing speed for greater patient satisfaction and a more productive practice, requiring only 4.5 minutes in a CEREC SpeedFire® furnace1, even with stains.
CHAIRSIDE IMPLANT TIBASE RESTORATION PROCEDURE
Leverage a full workflow solution for restorative performance
CEREC Tessera™ blocks are designed for the in-office workflow and can be finished quickly and reliably. Turn to this powerful combination for more efficient workflows. Combine all the elements for implant TiBase restoration success.
The Workflow
In this workflow, a CEREC Tessera abutment block is used as full-coverage crown that is extraorally cemented to a TiBase. It is then screwed into the implant system. Composite (like Ceram.x Spectra ST) is used to fill the screw channel and complete the restoration.
Primescan and CEREC® Software offer speed, simplicity and accuracy in high resolution digital impressions for improved clinical outcomes and profit potential.
CEREC® Primemill delivers quality, speed, convenience, and versatility for outstanding margins and surface details.
CEREC SpeedFire® is the smallest and fastest sintering furnace available. Glaze CEREC Tessera™ abutment in about 4.5 minutes.
- Substrate preparation
- Extraoral cementation TiBase/Ceramic Structure
- Screwing in the hybrid abutment crown intraorally
The Workflow
In this workflow, a CEREC Tessera™ abutment block is used to create a custom abutment to which any full-coverage crown can be cemented. CEREC Tessera™ abutment block is extraorally cemented to a TiBase and screwed into the implant system intraorally. A full-coverage crown is then cemented intraorally.

The answer to which cement is correct for a certain situation depends largely on the type of restoration and its wall thickness.
- Fundamentally all types of CEREC Tessera glass ceramic restoration can be cemented fully adhesively.
- Inlays, onlays and partial crowns have to be cemented fully adhesively, that is using and Calibra Ceram.
- Veneers have to be cemented fully adhesively, that is using and Calibra Veneer.
- Anterior and posterior crowns with a wall thickness of approximately 1.5 millimeters or more may also be cemented with a glass ionomer technology based cement, such as Calibra Bio or Calibra Universal.
