Thin Areas

Frequently insufficient dentin/incisal thickness exists (less than

.mm) over the opaque porcelain. The shade in this thin area can

be improved by applying a layer of the opaceous dentin porcelain

under the same dentin porcelain shade. When contouring, you

will be able to reduce the area where the opaceous dentin was

layered and the prescribed shade will be maintained. Complete

the building and firing of the restoration in the normal manner.

Facial Margin (Gingival Color)

If the metal substructure has been designed with a feather

margin, the opaque porcelain around the facial margin leaves

minimal room for the dentin porcelain, and the opaque porcelain

will be highlighted. Esthetics will be improved by applying

opaceous dentin porcelain alone or as a blend with % to %

of one of the opaceous dentin modifiers. This technique creates a

chromatic cervical third, common in natural dentition.

Pontics

A color imbalance frequently occurs between the pontics and the

abutments of a multiple-unit fixed partial denture. The color dif-

ference is caused by the absence of a full metal substructure in

the pontic area. Ceramco opaceous dentin porcelain applied to

the bottom and the cervical area of the pontic creates a uniform

color across the fixed partial denture.

Lingual Fossas and Occlusal Surfaces

Often, inadequate space is available on the lingual surface of an

anterior unit, or on the occlusal surface of a posterior unit.

Ceramco opaceous dentin porcelain applied alone or as a blend

with % to % opaceous dentin modifiers in these thin areas

prevents the opaque porcelain from being highlighted.

APPLICATIONS

he Ceramco Opaceous Dentin porcelains are the same hue as the Ceramco dentin

shades, but have approximately % more opacity. They may be used undiluted, or mixed

with the Ceramco dentins or dentin modifiers.
