I generally choose the shade considering the cuspal or incisal 1/2 brilliance/value. When selecting a block in this manner, one must choose from HT, LT, and HT, based on the consideration of the target dentition. The cervical color and saturation intensity must take this into consideration. This takes some case experience and then you will be able to project the need for color and saturation
Question. I am being trained to push the flow into the tooth to show the margins before baking. In your video, you cover the margins to seal them. Am I being trained wrong?
Place the flow, and then when seating the die pin, allow the Objectfix to expand to seal the margin, but not cover the margin. the main objective is to fully fill the internal aspects and support the margins during firing. All the best.
Yes, use the appropriate glaze though. Most my zirconia I polish though, better function to the apposing dentition. For aesthetics, I will glaze just the buccal, brush-on glaze (MiYO) works the best for this.
Good question. I am still waiting for more independent performance studies on Tessera and GC Lisi. I know the pressable LISi is getting great reviews. The CAD/CAM market has had several disappointments with materials in the last several years. I am always careful endorsing until I see the independent studies. Always hoping for the best!
