Achieving maximum shade consistency in processing zirconia
Abstract
Zirconia dental restoration has come a long way in material science and esthetics, and are utilized on a regular basis. Achieving consistent and repeatable results is critical to the viability of the restorative outcome. Join Daniel Alter MSc MDT CDT as he takes a deep dive into the variable in fabricating restorations that may affect shade outcomes, as well as provide unique technics and protocols to achieve - not only pre-shaded outcomes consistently - but also custom shades ultimately support the visual perspective and appearance of a natural tooth and ceramic layered restorations with only post sintering stains.
Learning Objectives
- Factors in sintering zirconia that affect final outcomes
- Appropriate sinter oven maintenance to achieve a consistent result
- How to remedy sintering oven consequence with zirconia shades
- Understand colours and how to use them to create life-like restorations
- Techniques and protocols to achieve life-like zirconia restorations
