DCEdental: the largest online dental CE directory in the world

Today's ceramic technician is always looking for faster and more efficient ways to fabricate esthetic veneers with consistent quality. Sometimes foil and refractory veneer techniques are tedious and require painstakingly slow processes to develop the final restoration. When time is money and the technician doesn't have the time to wait for porcelain application, the Sirona inLab™ system offers the perfect solution: a quick method to design and fabricate a working veneer in less than 20 minutes. Go beyond fabricating veneers using the foil or refractory method; get the most performance out of your Sirona inLab system by designing and milling esthetic veneers.

This hands-on program will show you how to properly take acquisition images of the model, then virtually design, select the appropriate Vitablocs™ size and shade, and mill a veneer. Learn how to cut back and then add-on to TriLuxe forte and Mark II milled restorations using VITAVM™9 porcelains. VM9 effect powders with excellent wear properties are used to manage the creation and placement of desired effects. These powders blend with the Vitablocs, illuminating and adding to the beauty of CAD/CAM veneers. Akzent stains will be used to further achieve the correct shade and/or line angles to replicate natural dentition.

Each attendee will have the opportunity to design, mill, and add-on to central veneers and explore the following:
