The originality of this course consists in realizing 1 anterior tooth and 1 posterior tooth on E.max Press or Zirconium. The technical support for this course is my  book “Tips and Hints”. The participants will leave with the photos of the teeth as well as all the drawings, diagrams of the layering and shade compositions.

The restorations will be made with a semi-adjustable articulator that the participant will bring along to the course.

The participants will prepare in their laboratories :

2 single frameworks in e.max Press (MO1) or in Zirconium.

A gingival flange (plaster, soft resin etc)

Those frameworks will be seated on the preparation without carrying out the connection firing.
