Synopsis

CAD/CAM zirconia restorations are routinely prescribed in the dental practice, with increasing digitalization of the dental workflow. Monolithic zirconia restorations require customization to match the natural teeth either by staining or porcelain micro-stratification and in some case as in the anterior aesthetic zone, by adopting both techniques.

While Vintage ZR micro-fine layering porcelain is designed for easy build-up on the CAD/CAM zirconia frame, it also mimics the translucency and opalescence of natural enamel, making it “the” perfect choice for micro-stratification of zirconia restorations. Vintage Art Universal stain system with its “true colour” liquid helps visualize the end outcome without even firing, thus minimizing error, and simplifying the staining protocol for highly aesthetic CAD/CAM restorations. Explore the aesthetic possibilities of CAD/CAM restorations with staining and micro-layering, to elevate the quality of monolithic restorations that meet your patients’ aesthetic and functional needs.

Key Learning Points

• An understanding of dental colour to achieve true shade match.
• Step by step guide to layering Vintage ZR porcelain with emphasis on dentin-enamel thickness calibration.
