Synopsis: Join Sylwia Arizpe for her brand-new 2-day, hands-on masterclass, where she is excited to share with you, her considerations, techniques, and the philosophy used when characterising a 6-unit anterior IPS e.max ZirCAD Prime Zirconia bridge on implant bar with sleeve.
Using a combination of techniques, including advanced micro layering using IPS e.max Ceram, IPS e.max Ceram Selection and, the Ivocolor stain and glaze system, Sylwia will guide you step by step, equipping you with a wide range of techniques to achieve incredibly beautiful, lifelike pink and white natural aesthetics.
To maximise the range of teaching benefits of this course, one half of the restoration will focus on techniques used on cases demanding a more youthful appearance, the other, on techniques when a more age-appropriate aesthetic is required. This masterclass will cover a wide range of Sylwia's favourite tips and tricks, allowing you to recreate and match a vast array of aesthetics found in all types of restorations.
Aims: This new 2-day hands-on masterclass aims to provide dental technicians with an increased understanding of how to achieve outstanding aesthetics. This course focuses on recreating natural aesthetics, optimising functionality, and developing your skillset when crafting highly detailed, lifelike restorations.
With a strong focus on scientific information, material preparation, anatomical contouring and advanced stain and glaze/micro layering techniques, this masterclass is designed to equip participants with the advanced knowledge and skills required to implement several new critical techniques to produce truly world class full arch restorations.
This course will provide key information on material selection to help master the art of selecting ideal shades of dentins, enamels, and modifiers to achieve natural translucency and seamless colour matching.
Delegates will work on pre-milled 6-unit ZirCAD Prime zirconia restorations which you will take with you to use as demonstration pieces.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand the scientific properties, handling characteristics and recommended application of IPS e.max Ceram and IPS e.max Ceram Selection.
- Understand the scientific properties, handling characteristics and recommended applications suitable for IPS e.max ZirCAD Prime Zirconia.
- Explain the Gradient Technology (GT) incorporated into IPS e.max ZirCAD Prime
- Understand the scientific properties, handling characteristics and recommended application of Ivocolor stain and glaze system.
- Demonstrate how to prepare restorations by refining both shape, contour, and surface texture, to improve the overall surface treatment of all ceramics with a view to recreating the natural surface texture more predictably and efficiently.
- Explain and demonstrate how to use the IPS e.max Ceram and IPS e.max Ceram Selection to add advanced anatomical characteristics and aesthetics to the restorations.
- Explain and demonstrate how to use the Ivocolor stain and glaze system to add natural translucency, character, and depth to the restorations.
- Gain confidence in achieving highly aesthetic and functional restorations.
- Develop skills in layering and shading to replicate realistic gingival tissue, ideal for implant and aesthetic restorations using IPS e.max Ceram, IPS e.max Ceram selection and Ivocolor.
- Develop silks in the precision application of micro layering, adding ultra-thin ceramic layers to enhance depth, light dynamics, and smooth natural transitions.
- Understand how to achieve natural light refraction and texture through precise micro-layering.
- Increase awareness and understanding of firing protocols for using Ivocolor, IPS e.max Ceram and IPS e.max Ceram Selection on all ceramic & zirconia restorations.
- How to correctly apply glaze pastes, to improve control gloss level.
