There are five main factors that will improve the final result of their previous restorations: design, anatomy, line angles, texture and, or course, shadow. As an expert dental technician, I know if even one of these is off, you will instantly notice something that is not right.
While creating a perfect combination can be difficult, here are my five secrets that will create realistic previous restorations without having to send them to the laboratory.
1. Perfect design: point to an identical twin
The design is crucial and can make or break your case. Each embasure needs to coincide perfectly, since even the slightest discrepancy is easy to detect. The width and general dimensions of ceramics must align with contralateral tooth, even if real measurements do not match exactly. This is where the use of line angles will hook the eye, which will make it believe that the tooth is the same size.

2. Match anatomy with a simple dry and exfoliating
As assistants in my practical workshop of “Practical Workshop of” Laboratory Quality Chair Restorations: Mastering Stain and Glaze for dentists and their teams “, the anatomy of the restoration needs Identify the anatomy in the adjacent tooth, rub the articulating paper on ceramics and imitate the indicated depries.

3. Manipulate line angles for impeccable symmetry
When the symmetry is perfect, it can cause the restoration to seem symmetrical adjusting where the light hits through the manipulation of the line angles. This is a powerful technique to ensure that restoration has the appearance of symmetry.

4. Key texture for a natural aspect
The texture is incredible and can raise or reduce the general result of the restoration. Natural teeth do not have a super bright and glassy finish, but they have more or a matt surface.
If you create a beautiful design and an anatomy within the design, but then apply a thick glaze, run the risk of losing all the fine details that worked so hard to achieve. Sometimes, a glaze with a consistency similar to honey, which offers a highly glaze finish, is what the case needs, as special when it coincides with other ceramics.
Other times, you must imitate the natural texture of a tooth. This can be done simply by applying a thinner glaze and controlling the amount of application to highlight anatomy and combine restoration more naturally. If after firing, find that the enamel is too heavy, brush slightly with a Girlsinger policy to soften the finish and at the same time preserve the underlying color.

5. Shade Match at the highest value
Finally we arrive in the shadow, which could be said that it is the most important aspect.
Even if their angles or line design are slightly turned off, people can notice, but if the tone is wrong, it will stand out. The key to the coincidence of the shadow is to find the highest value in the tooth with which it coincides.
For example, a patient can be mainly an A3.5 but near the incisal edge, the value could be A1. If the A3.5 tone is found, the restoration will never coincide. It cannot increase the value as the value can decrease. In this case, I would face an A1 and use the color to merge the value where necessary.
For the customization of the shadow, look at the patient’s photo before and intrarally to make sure that nothing is missing. After treatment, dehydration of the opening and prolonged suction of the mouth can make the value of the teeth increase, so it makes the shadow appear light in this situation.
Approximately time, this process becomes easier and more predictable is really an art. An art that you can dominate with clean training and practice. Analyze the colors and replicate what you see, and always remember, you can always refer.
