Two stain and glaze systems work very well in my clinical theater, Ivocolor by Ivoclar Vivadent and MiYo by Jensen. Ivocolor is the most efficient and straightforward system, whereas MiYo colors have more depth perception and work well on zirconia and LT e.max ceramics. However, MiYo takes more time and is not an efficient appointment support system. This video will document the steps and colors used for an anterior e.max bridge stain and glaze technique.

This video highlights my incisal edge workflow using MiYO. There are several advantages to MiYO over other coloring stain and glaze systems. First of all, the lower values, high values, and color applications can be accomplished with one application and firing. Second, what is observed in the application wet stage will be seen in the post-firing condition. Though MiYO has many characterizing and color applications, this video will deal with the color incisal edge strategy setup and color application sequencing. Link to the following video for MiYO mixing and

There are a plethora of ceramic finishing videos on this website. This video will document my workflow for shaping and texturing an eight-unit anterior case. In this case, Amber Mill, by HASS Bio, is being used. I have discovered that each ceramic such as VITA felspathic, Empress, e.max, Suprinity, or Amber Mill have their own characteristics on how the surface and texturing applications turn out. However, the workflow and principles of shaping and texturing are the same.

This video highlights my anterior prepping workflow for full crowns and scanning with the Primescan. This approach works well for Omnicam as well. The bur kit being used is by Meisinger (JK02). The white stone used for finishing is from Meisinger as well, but not on the prep kit. Please post questions or comments.
