| case report maxilla restoration Fig. 12a Fig. 12b Figs. 12 a & b: The finished restorations. The vestibular areas were layered individually. In the occlusal and palatal areas, the framework was designed in full anatomical contour. Fig. 13: Natural-looking translucency with internal shade effects. Fig. 13 ness, a second firing was necessary. The restorations were then glazed and finished. We like to use the glaze material (IPS Ivocolor FLUO, Ivoclar Vivadent) in a creamy consistency. Conclusion In the design illustrated, only the buccal surfaces of the otherwise monolithic zirconium dioxide frame- work are veneered. An aesthetic and durably stable result was achieved with relatively minimal effort. The qualities of the materials are used to their full ad- vantage. These include the excellent light optical properties of IPS e.max Ceram, in this case especially the Power materials; the high strength of zirconium dioxide; the possibility of colouring the zirconium dioxide to achieve a warmer colour effect (white zirconium dioxide is far too bright for this type of restoration, and reducing the degree of brightness would have been difficult in view of the low thick- ness of the veneering ceramic); and the low amount of ceramic material (this allows minimal controlled shrinkage and ensures easy handling)._ contact Dr Torsten Seidenstricker is Clinical Director of the Adent Dental Clinic in Allaman in Switzerland.
