Here's a helpful tip I use when trying out a new glaze or coloring system, specifically for MiYO 850 or MiYO Esthetic. Grab a Vita Shade Tab to practice color application and develop incisal edge characteristics. This technique is effective for mastering the MiYO system and allows for easy reproduction in a clinical setting. This video is also great for staff training.

If you are a Dental CAD CAM in-office provider or are looking to expand your skills in modifying ceramic or zirconia crowns from a dental lab, this video is for you! Learn how to expertly add MiYO liquid ceramics to adjust the shade and lower the value of your restorations. These dental ceramic finishing techniques are easy to master, and your office can start practicing on VITA shade tabs, as demonstrated in the video. Not only will you find it enjoyable, but you’ll also be able to improve patient care by making shade adjustments during the same appointment and placing the restoration instead of sending it back. Increase your value and

A polished surface is the optimal finish for the subgingival implant zone of a two-piece abutment/crown. This video demonstrates the polishing process using the Meisinger JK03 lab kit, which is applicable to both e.max and zirconia materials.

The video is the workflow following milling out an e.max or zirconia abutment and texturing the e.max crown for crystallization with glaze and stain.

Solid abutment/crown one-piece implant restoration shaping is not much different than shaping an e.max conventional crown restoration.  This tutorial will demonstrate Dr. Klim's shaping and polishing sequence using his Meisinger Lab Kit JK03.  Sit back and enjoy the journey of mastering your craft.

This tutorial will demonstrate my step-by-step glaze and stain technique using MiYO 850 to customize the solid e.max abutment/crown. MiYO 850 is a forgiving system with no bubbling.  It is very predictable; what you see with stain color harmony in the application state will be seen in the post-firing condition.

MiYO 850 is primarily designed for e.max stain, glaze effects, and incisal characteristics for the anterior.  This video is the first in a series of applying incisal effects for central incisors.  The incisal edge is layered with the MiYO 850 brush-on ceramic, starting with lower-value translucent effects and then contrasted with subsequent higher-value layers. This video application represents a subtle incisal transition with MiYO 850.

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.
