The study
The brief
Two full arches designed as a pair, so the occlusion is settled in the software and not at the chairside.
The approach
Both arches were prototyped in PMMA from one design file. The approved prototypes were scanned back in and the final zirconia was milled from that record.
The finish
Stain is kept to the fissures and the cervical third. The lustre comes from two thin glaze firings over hand-cut texture.

The materials
01
High-strength zirconia
Zirconia
An opaque, robust zirconia for long spans and frameworks, and for masking a dark preparation before ceramic is layered over it.
02
Multilayer zirconia
Zirconia
A graded disc that moves from a warmer cervical body to a lighter, more translucent incisal edge, so monolithic work reads naturally without layering.
