It is simple to add a contact when needed to zirconia with GC Luster Paste. Infact, this is now my go to method for all my ceramic restorations, (VITA ceramics, Empress, and e.max). It is very fast and predictable.

Zirconia cementation is simplistic. The post-cementation caveat is the interphase between the cement and the internal surface of the Zirconia crown. Zirconia is slick to cement. Conditioning Zirconia with a metal primer is only effective if the phospholipids can be removed. Ivoclean removes the

This video will introduce the Meisinger Luster Twist Polishers, ideal for polishing the subgingival surfaces of the CEREC e.max abutment. Other talking points will be shaping in the abutment crown, and refining the crown/marginal seam before firing the the abutment

Paste color options is my current favored approach for color accenting anterior restorations. It is now my go to glaze method for e.max. This video will demonstrate creating incisal translucent and mamelon effects on a monolith ceramic resulting in a natural incisal outcome.

Monobond Etch & Prime is the first single-component ceramic primer in the world, which allows you to etch and silanate glass-ceramic surfaces in one easy step. At the same time, the solution cleans away any remaining saliva from the surface.

An alternative to IPS Crystall Glaze for e.max surface glazing is IPS Ceram Paste. It is now my go to glaze method for e.max. Now I mix either stain or colored wash pastes with the Ceram Paste to create my own colored “luster paste” effects. I

I have really become a believer in Adhese Universal and Esthetic Variolink (Dual) for my quadrant cementation technique. It is about tissue management, isolation, a simplistic adhesive system to avoiding post cementation
