Synopsis

CAD/CAM zirconia restorations are routinely prescribed with increasing digitalization of the dental workflow. Monolithic zirconia restorations require customization to match 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 and differentiate your services to meet the patients’ aesthetic and functional needs.
