What HASSBIO does

HASSBIO, legally HASS Co., Ltd., is a South Korean specialty manufacturer of dental glass-ceramic materials founded in 2008 and headquartered in Gangneung-si, Gangwon-do. The company develops and commercializes nano-lithium disilicate CAD/CAM blocks and discs (Amber Mill, Amber Mill Direct, Rosetta SM), hybrid ceramic blocks (Amber Mill H), zirconia discs (Zirtooth), and pressing ingot systems (Amber Press, Amber Press Master, Rosetta SP), along with complementary consumables including investment materials (Amber Vest), universal glaze (Amber Arte), and polishing pastes (Amber Glow). HASSBIO has localized lithium disilicate production in Korea—a category historically dominated by European and American manufacturers—and holds 107 patents, 88 trademarks, and 27 industrial design registrations globally. Its technology portfolio includes proprietary controlled-crystallization translucency variation, pre-crystallized blocks enabling one-hour chairside restorations, ceramic-polymer hybrid bonding, and dry-millable lithium disilicate formulations.

HASSBIO generates revenue primarily through one-time hardware sales of CAD/CAM blocks, discs, and pressing ingots to dental laboratories and clinics, with consumable repurchase driving recurring revenue from the same customer base. Distribution is hybrid: direct sales through a US subsidiary (HASSBIO America), regional dental product distributors across 70+ countries, validated integration with the imes-icore CORiTEC CAM platform via pritidenta, and an e-commerce storefront (HASmall). Demand generation is event-driven, anchored on major dental exhibitions (IDS, IDEM, AEEDC) and proprietary scientific forums (I.DE.A Forum) co-hosted with national dental academies. In 2025 the company introduced the Amber Mill Design Center (AMDC), an AI-driven per-case design platform with usage bundled to HASS block purchases, and operates the IDGC online education campus offering PACE-approved CE courses. The company completed its KOSDAQ listing in July 2024, raising public capital to support continued international expansion.

Products and services

• Amber Mill A nano-lithium disilicate CAD/CAM block for dental laboratories that allows fabrication of restorations with different translucency levels (high, medium, low, medium opacity) through controlled crystallization temperatures using a single block. Demonstrates natural tooth opalescence and fluorescence with superior physical properties from a denser, more cross-linked crystal structure.
• Amber Mill Direct A pre-crystallized lithium disilicate-based millable glass ceramic block designed for chairside restorations delivered within 1 hour. Features graded translucency from incisal to cervical areas with flexural strength ranging from 311 MPa (incisal) to 393 MPa (cervical). Requires only polishing after milling — no glaze, no stain, no furnace firing needed. CEREC mandrel compatible.
• Amber Mill H A ceramic-based hybrid CAD/CAM block combining fine nano-crystalline ceramic particles with polymer using proprietary bonding technology. Features approximately 190 MPa biaxial flexural strength, 75 MPa indirect tensile strength, and approximately 35% light transmittance. Compatible with both wet and dry milling; HF acid etching or sandblasting for pretreatment. Available in block (C10, C12, C14) and disk (8T, 10T) formats.
• Amber Mill Q An implant-focused CAD/CAM block featuring a zirconia core, designed to provide both structural stability and aesthetic performance for implant restorations.
• Amber Mill Meso A highly aesthetic nano-lithium disilicate CAD/CAM block designed for abutment crowns on metal links. Offers natural opalescence and fluorescence, multiple translucency options in a single block, and stable strength for reliable edge stability.
• Amber Mill Abut Crown An integrated abutment crown solution combining lithium disilicate, zirconia coping, and titanium link into a single structure. First one-body abutment crown that simplifies the manufacturing process, reduces patient chair time, and provides highly aesthetic and stable implant restorations.
• Rosetta SM An entry-level lithium disilicate CAD/CAM block offering a balance between cost efficiency and stable quality. Available in block and disk formats for dental restorations.
• Zirtooth A zirconia CAD/CAM disc family offering versatile clinical options. Multi-layered zirconia disk lineup designed to accommodate a wide range of clinical indications.
• Amber Press A lithium disilicate pressing ingot designed for processing stability, broad compatibility, and high aesthetic performance. Features a crystallized, cross-linked microstructure that reduces chipping and minimizes post-pressing adjustments.
• Amber Press Master A lithium disilicate-based high-fusion press ingot for high-end aesthetic restorations. High glass transition temperature (Tg: 577°C) maintains stable morphology after multiple firing cycles. Compatible with conventional lithium disilicate build-up powders and high-temperature porcelain powders. Available in HT+, MT, and LO translucency options.
• Rosetta SP A lithium disilicate glass-ceramic pressing ingot, the first developed and commercialized in Korea and the second in the world. Entry-level pressing ingot with excellent shade reproduction, stable strength, and precise marginal detail. Gained popularity in Latin America and Middle East markets; exported to approximately 50 countries as of 2022.
• Amber Dry-Mill A dry-milling compatible lithium disilicate material available in block and disk formats. Designed with machining characteristics similar to zirconia materials, enabling dry milling workflows with precise marginal reproduction and reduced tool wear. Maintains lithium disilicate's fluorescence and light transmission properties for natural tooth-like aesthetics and is hydrofluoric acid etchable for reliable bonding.
• Amber Lisi-POZ A lithium disilicate press-over solution for zirconia frameworks. Designed to replace conventional veneering powders when applied over zirconia frameworks, providing easy aesthetics and superior strength.
• Amber Lisi-POM A high-strength lithium disilicate layering material designed for layering on metal frameworks in metal-ceramic restorations.
• Amber Vest An ultra-fine phosphate-bonded investment for pressable dental ceramics. Saves time and minimizes reaction layers, eliminating the need for sandblasting and hydrofluoric acid. Produces minimal reaction layer after pressing.
• Amber Arte Universal Glaze A universal glaze for lithium disilicate and zirconia restorations. Enables thin and easy finishing on a wide range of restorative materials and enhances natural gloss for final aesthetic enhancement.
• Amber Arte Glaze Value Up An aesthetic solution for lithium disilicate and zirconia restorations. Allows precise adjustment of shade and brightness for enhanced aesthetic outcomes.
• Amber Glow A polishing paste for zirconia, lithium disilicate, porcelain, and composite. Delivers efficient polishing for a wide range of restorative materials and achieves a smooth, naturally reflective surface after contouring; can also refine gloss after glazing.
• Amber Mill Design Center (AMDC) An AI-driven digital prosthetic workflow platform for CAD/CAM-equipped dental practices. Users upload patient scan files (STL/digital impressions) for automated restoration design generation. The AI engine analyzes occlusion, margin lines, and aesthetic parameters to generate precise restoration designs. A Human Design service is available for complex cases requiring manual input from skilled dental technicians at $5 per case.
