The size of the final restoration has been increased to compensate for shrinkage during sintering. The Lava™ All-Ceramic System is biocompatible with excellent long-term aesthetics and no sensitivity to temperature variation, thanks to the low thermal conductivity of the ceramic, there is no sensitivity to temperature variation.
