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.

Are we able to increase the retention for zirconia restorations without bonding? The answer is yes. This video will document my last ten years of keeping zirconia restorations in place using glass ionomer cement. Clinically, I want to consider ways of removing crowns and bridges if and when they need upgrades due to subgingival caries. We all know how difficult it is to remove an e.max bonded full crown. Just think of how difficult it will be to remove a bonded zirconia crown if and when it needs removal. An Erbium-Yag laser will help, but not everyone has laser assistance for removing bonded restorations.

MiYO 850 has been a game changer for my anterior e.max applications. This video will show the viewer the steps for applying the 850 glaze and colors on an anterior e.max, and in most circumstances, only one firing (crystallization) is required. The strength of 850 MiYO is the glaze and the natural enamel luster accomplished with the e.max fired surface. It has been absolutely amazing for me, and it saves significant time in accomplishing incredible outcomes, often in one appointment for the patient. In all my years of teaching, I have never seen the excitement and confidence built by the attendees for hands-on training as in the

Chairside zirconia options and speed have impacted chairside more than any other material since I have worked with chairside CAD/CAM over the last 20 years. This video will review the indications for the Prime Zirconia and the finishing steps for a polished posterior restoration before sintering and after sintering. The polishing technique conveyed in this video will work for all our brands in the CEREC zirconia universe.
