PFM's
At the tooth studio we have perfected the process of stacking PFM’s, in using 10-12 different low fusing porcelains, and with our technique it creates a 3Dimentional internal contrast of color, with characterization and function all combined. Ultimately creating a more esthetic and life like restoration.
IPS D.SIGN
IPS d.SIGN Natural Beauty provides pure esthetics. The fluorapatiteleucite glass-ceramic features true-to-nature properties ranging from the light optical features to the enamel-like abrasion behavior. With the well-balanced and excellently thought-out concept of IPS d.SIGN, the individual design possibilities are virtually boundless.
IvoclarVivadent offers a comprehensive restorative concept that consists of the following components
- IPS d.SIGN veneering ceramic
- The IPS d.SIGN alloy package specifically designed for metal-ceramics - offering a wide range of gold, reduced-gold and base metal alloys
- Ceramic furnaces of the Programat family
- Multilink Automix and Vivaglass CEM cementation systems
- The true-to-nature light scattering with the high translucency and brightness of the ceramic enable thorough masking of the metal framework
- Well-balanced relationship between chroma and brightness similar to the natural counterpart
- Firing stability and stability of shade even after several firing cycles
- High surface quality, higher antagonist friendliness than other ceramic materials
The new IPS d.SIGN porcelain is a milestone in the evolution of metal-ceramic technology. This ceramic closely simulates the optical characteristics of natural tooth structure while providing maximum strength and durability. IPS d.SIGN ceramic comes closer to mimicking all of the properties of natural teeth than any other dental material to date. IPS d.SIGN ceramic exhibits wear characteristics more comparable to natural enamel than other feldspathic ceramics. It will not aggressively wear opposing natural dentition, preventing unnecessary complications.
The brilliance achieved with d.SIGN ceramic material is the result of its unique refractive index. The fluorapatite crystals scatter light within the ceramic in a way similar to that of hydroxyapatite crystals found in natural tooth structure. Its physical properties are stronger and more durable than the typical feldspathic porcelains. This pairing of physical and esthetic qualities combine to create a ceramic that is both durable and pleasing to the eye while closely mimicking natural dentition.
