DCEdental: the largest online dental CE directory in the world

This course will provide a thorough understanding in the fabrication of porcelain fused to metal restorations utilizing VITA's VM™13 ceramic system. This outstanding new ceramic system was developed in conjunction with Claude Sieber, MDT. VM™13 exhibits a very fine particle structure giving the ceramist superior handling qualities and wear characteristics.

Each participant will fabricate a single anterior restoration that will replicate nature. You will learn precise shade taking with VITA's 3D-Master tooth guide and the complete VITAVM™13 veneering system.

Topics will include:

Use of VM™13 base dentine

Layering techniques to match natural teeth

Indications for using effect colors

Use of opal and pearl effect powders

Surface contours, texture and glazing

Margin porcelains
