Dental Tribune Middle East & Africa Edition | 2/2017 LAB TRIBUNE ◊Page B2 Figs 14 and 15: The cemented bridge pleases with its beautiful natural appearances and meets the patient’s functional and esthetic expectations For the foundation firing of large restorations, we prefer the layering technique rather than the sprinkle technique. The layering technique provides better adhesion and optical effects (wash firing: Deep Dentin A2, A1, DA2, A1 and T-Neutral) (Fig. 10). The individual vestibular surfaces can be easily veneered. The tooth shape was given and the framework was used as the basic shade (veneering: Dentin A2, A1, T- Neutral, OE1, OE2, I1) (Fig. 11). After the firing process was completed, the value, saturation and light reflection effects looked as desired. The shade effect of the restoration is identical in intensive light, in normal light and in the shade and matches the chosen A – D tooth shade. Glazing the monolithic areas Shade characterizations (Shades, Stains) are applied to the monolithic portions before dentin firing. We continued to apply thin “soft” coat- ings of colour and used IPS e.max Glaze Fluo for the glaze firing pro- cess. Finishing the restoration After the final firing, the restoration exhibited harmonious shade effects. The bridge satisfied all functional and esthetic criteria. The monolithic portions did not appear brighter than the veneered parts (Fig. 12). Fi- nally, we polished the bridge and B3 team is to see a happy patient with a beautiful natural smile (Fig. 15)! I would like to thank my assistants for their help.

Smooth surfaces are essential to prevent the excellent biocompatibil- ity of zirconium oxide from being diminished and undesirable 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 com- pleted, the bridge was cemented in place. The ceramic restoration looks three-dimensional. Even without layering, the posterior teeth demon- strate a natural colour depth. With their vibrant internal shade effects and lifelike warm translucency, the anterior teeth demonstrate impres- sive esthetic properties (Fig. 14). The combination of cutting-edge milling technology and high-quality veneer- ing ceramics provides an efficient route to achieving esthetically pleas- ing, reliable and long-lasting treat- ment results. The goal of the prosthetic treatment Custom-made titanium abutments produced in your own laboratory – with inLab MC X5 from Dentsply Sirona By Dentsply Sirona Dentsply Sirona CAD/CAM is extend- ing the range of applications of its 5-axis milling unit inLab MC X5, with the production of custom-made one- piece titanium abutments with pre- fabricated connection geometries in authorized countries. With the latest version of the inLab Software 16.0, inLab users can now create implant supported prostheses that are even more closely matched to the indi- vidual needs of the patient. Practitioners who are not prepared to accept any compromises in pros- thesis quality turn to custom-made abutments. These enable the crea- tion of a tailor-made implant abut- ment for the individual patient, thereby making special allowances for the specific implant situation. In addition, they offer dental tech- nicians an even better basis than standard abutments for the creation of a functional and esthetically pleas- ing dental prosthesis. With the latest inLab software up- date 16.0 from Dentsply Sirona, in- Lab users can now design and mill custom-made one-piece titanium abutments in their own labs. With the 5-axis milling unit inLab MC X5, for the first time it is now possible, not only to manufacture restora- tions from inLab design data but also take design data from another CAD software via the open inLab CAM in- terface. The one-piece abutments are machined from PreFace® abutment blanks from Medentika with prefab- ricated connection geometries. Advantages for the dental lab One major advantage for the dental laboratory is in the characteristics of the one-piece solution: although partially ceramic hybrid abutments on TiBases create optimum esthetic results, only one-piece solutions are possible in certain clinical cases due to a lack of space, for example. The custom-made one-piece titanium The titanium abutment blanks are mounted in a holder specially developed for inLab MC X5. The blank incl. screw channel is precisely mounted with special spindle touch technology Ready for in-house production of one-piece titanium abutments – the inLab MC X5 starter kit for Medentika PreFace® abutments from Dentsply Sirona CAD/CAM with a large range of accessories abutment is the perfect solution in such cases, without requiring an ad- ditional jointing step. Moreover, inLab users can seamless- ly proceed with the workflow and, in parallel to the milling process, virtu- ally implant the designed abutment with the inLab CAD software so that further prosthetic treatment can be planned. This means that produc- tion control and the added value re- main in the lab. Preform starter kit for inLab MC X5 The prerequisite for the milling of titanium preforms is the new inLab MC X5 starter kit for Medentika PreF- ace abutments from Dentsply Sirona CAD/CAM. This comprehensive kit can be ordered from dealers in all authorized countries. It contains, for example, a preform holder that has been specially developed for inLab MC X5, new inLab MC X5 titanium milling tools, a special cooling lubri- cant additive (DentaLub), separate container tank and other accessories. PreFace® titanium abutment blanks can be exclusively ordered from Me- dentika. For more information about these and other production options with inLab MC X5, visit www.sirona.com/ inlab.
