The tooth shape was given and the framework was used as the ba- sic shade (veneering: Dentin A2, A1, T-Neutral, OE1, OE2, I1) (Fig. 11). After the firing process was com- pleted, the value, saturation and light reflection effects looked as desired. The shade effect of the restoration is identical in inten- sive light, in normal light and in theshadeandmatchesthechosen A–D tooth shade. Shadecharacterisations(Shades, Stains) are applied to the mono- lithic portions before dentin fir- ing. We continued to apply thin “soft” coatings of colour and used IPS e.max Glaze Fluo for the glaze firing process. After the final firing, the restoration exhibited harmo- nious shade effects. The bridge satisfied all functional and aes- thetic criteria. The monolithic portions did not appear brighter than the veneered parts (Fig. 12). Finally, we polished the bridge and ensured that the conditions for optimum oral hygiene were in place. Smooth surfaces are essen- tial to prevent the excellent bio- compatibility of zirconium oxide from being diminished and unde- sirable wear from occurring in the opposing jaw. After a final check, the restoration was forwarded to the dental practice (Fig.13). Conclusion After the preparations were completed, the bridge was ce- mented in place. The ceramic restoration looks three-dimen- sional. Even without layering, the posterior teeth demonstrated a natural colour depth. With their vibrant internal shade effects and lifelike warm translucency, the an- teriorteethdemonstratedimpres- sive aesthetic properties (Fig.14). The combination of cutting- edgemillingtechnologyandhigh- quality veneering ceramics pro- vides an efficient route to achiev- ing aesthetically pleasing, reliable and long-lasting treatment re- sults. The goal of the prosthetic treatment team is to see a happy patient with a beautiful natural smile (Fig.15). 15Dental TribuneAsia Pacific Edition | 4/2016 TRENDS&APPLICATIONS Dr Dario Žujic is working as a dentist in Rijeka in Croatia.
