Grandio blocs is a nano-ceramic hybrid CAD/CAM block designed for single-tooth restorations. It consists of 86% nano-ceramic fillers, providing superior strength, durability, and wear resistance while maintaining optimal elasticity and esthetics

(Little known fact: Grandio blocs - plural - is the full name of a single Grandio bloc"s" thus it is Grandio blocs "is" vs "are")

Grandio blocs has the highest filler content (86%) in its category, making it the strongest nano-ceramic hybrid CAD/CAM material available. It offers:

• High flexural strength (333 MPa) for long-lasting restorations​
• Toothlike elasticity and thermal expansion, reducing stress at the adhesive interface​
• No firing or sintering that allow for true one appointment dentistry
• Natural esthetics with enhanced polish retention and color stability

• Crowns, inlays, onlays, and veneers
• Implant-supported crowns

Grandio blocs are available in two sizes:

• Size 12 - ideal for inlays/onlays
• Size 14L: - ideal for crowns

Grandio blocs is compatible with most major milling systems including:

• Dentsply Sirona's CEREC (MC X, MC XL, MC X5, and Primemill)
• vhf camfacture, imes-icore, Roland DG (DGShape), Planmeca (PlanMill), Amann Girrbach, Dental Machine by TECNO-GAZ, and Zirkonzahn systems​

For optimal results, Grandio blocs should be milled under the Cerasmart 270 settings on CEREC systems. In some cases, software may default to a 14 block, which needs to be manually changed to 14L for proper fit.

Grandio blocs can be milled both wet and dry, depending on the milling system.

• Crowns: 1.5 mm occlusal, 0.8 mm buccal, 1.5 mm under cusps​
• Veneers: 0.4 mm cervical, 0.5 mm incisal
• Inlays & Onlays: 1.5 mm occlusal

See Instructions for Use here

• Bifix QM (dual-cure adhesive cement)
• Futurabond U (universal bonding agent)
• Ceramic Bond (silane coupling agent)

• Sandblast with aluminum oxide (25-50 μm) at 1.5-2 bar pressure
• DO NOT use hydrofluoric acid or phosphoric acid etching
• Apply silane (Ceramic Bond) for 60 seconds, then air dry for 5 seconds

Yes, Grandio blocs toothlike physical properties and relatively smooth finish when compared to lithium disilicate and zirconia result in low wear on opposing dentition, e making it ideal for long-term restorations.

No, Grandio blocs is fully polymerized and does not require firing, making it ideal for same-day dentistry.

Yes! Grandio blocs can be characterized (using the resin based tint of your choice) for detailed esthetics. It can also be polished easily without additional glazing. 

Yes! Unlike ceramic restorations, Grandio blocs can be easily repaired intraorally with composite. Simply roughen the surface, apply a bonding agent and restore with composite.

Grandio blocs can be polished using:

• Standard composite polishers (medium, fine, extra-fine diamond polishers)

• 50% faster workflow – No firing or sintering, resulting in time savings of 26-39 minutes per restoration
• Much more friendly to the opposing tooth structure preventing inadvertent wear and erosion 
• Easy intraoral polishing, characterization and repairability
• Repairable with materials you use every day (composite and universal adhesive)
• With toothlike elasticity, significantly lower chance of chipping 
  
  

• Flexural Strength: 333 MPa (higher than most composite blocks)​
• Compressive Strength: 530 MPa, ensuring durability under chewing forces
• Vickers Hardness: 154.6 HV, contributing to excellent wear resistance
• Filler Content: 86% by weight, making it one of the strongest hybrid ceramics available
• Water Absorption: 13.6 µg/mm³, minimizing discoloration and long-term degradation
• Water Absorption: 13.6 µg/mm³, minimizing discoloration and long-term degradation

*VOCO Internal data

Yes! Since no firing or sintering is required, Grandio blocs enables a true chairside workflow for single-visit restorations.
