Venue: SHOFU KL Training Center

Overview:

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, use of both techniques especially in the anterior aesthetic zone.

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.

Learning Objectives:

• 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 and micro-layering.
• Creating life-like surface textures and anatomical contouring
• Insights to 2D and 3D staining with Vintage Art Universal Stains

Workshop Tasks:

• Learn cut-back layering technique with Vintage ZR Porcelain on a posterior crown as well as full staining on a monolithic crown.
• Step by step guide to 2D/3D staining with Vintage Art Universal Stains.
