Two stain and glaze systems work well in my clinical theater for ceramics. For e.max: Ivocolor by Ivoclar Vivadent and MiYO 850 by Jensen. MiYO 850's glaze is magical and easy to apply. This system for e max has been a game changer, simplifying the color application process to achieve excellent results. This video shows my workflow for using colors and creating a natural incisal illusion with MiYO 850.

The final step in the anterior zirconia restoration protocol is polishing the unglazed zones, such as the lingual and proximal surfaces. A polished zirconia is very kind to the opposing dentition, including the natural dentition. And there is value in the luster polish of the labial glaze and colored surface. I will go through my workflow in the video.

his video presents the steps in texturing for an upper canine zirconia restoration. The steps are similar to a ceramic restoration, except the applications are more exaggerated to account for Zirconia sintering shrinkage.

MiYo 850 glaze and colors are changing the industry for e.max aesthetics. This video will work through the glaze and color applications and incisal effects rivaling our historical cutback and layering applications. In addition, we can accomplish the beautiful glaze and color effect with just one firing by applying MiYo 850 before crystalization.

This video is my typical veneer bonding workflow. Though I now use Variolink Esthetic Dual Cure for easy cleanup, the light cure Variolink Esthetic is used in this video. This video is a bit long. Let me know how these longer videos work for you.

Over the last 12 years, my veneer trend has been to preserve more and more tooth enamel and engineer thinner veneers. I preserve at least 50% enamel surface or more for a strong adhesive interphase to enamel. A material like e.max has helped this journey due to its robust nature allowing our veneer applications to go down to 300 um and less than 50 um on the margins. This video is about my preparation strategy when I prep. And this case has it all, breaking contact on some of the preps, minimal prepping on others, and then almost no prepping on the premolars and molars.

The workflow present in the video is the strategy I use to complete a veneer case in the same appointment. Several pointers will help the process. One, go in with a mock-up and complete the projects in sections, so the milling starts early in the appointment. Two, have a predictable design and milling strategy, have the glaze coloring system down, and gain outstanding results.

MiYO Esthetic is the magic layer to our zirconia aesthetic restorations. With this material, I can intermix and blend with adjacent e.max restorations. With the aesthetic zirconia, choose one to two shades darker than the target shade, and place MiYO Esthetic on just the buccal/labial surface. This video will demonstrate using MiYO Esthetic on an anterior ZirCAD MT Multi zirconia bridge.
