Pure Control, a 3-step evaluation process for high-end ceramic restorations

The webinar will analyse three critical factors that influence the final outcome of a ceramic restoration: value, chroma and shape. Understanding and controlling these parameters through the use of ceramic powders and internal staining enables ceramists to achieve predictable, high-end aesthetic restorations.

This lecture introduces a three-step evaluation protocol designed to achieve highly aesthetic ceramic restorations. Participants will learn how to systematically control value, chroma and shape through the use of internal staining, micro-layering with CERABIEN MiLai, or full layering with CERABIEN ZR or Super Porcelain EX-3, followed by final characterisation. Clinical cases will be presented to illustrate step-by-step workflows and practical decision-making in daily dental lab practice.

Learning objectives

• Understand the three-step evaluation concept: value, chroma and shape
• Learn how to apply internal stains to control chroma and create optical illusions
• Improve predictability in mixed-material prosthetic restorations
• Master opacity and translucency management for natural aesthetic outcomes
