The study

The brief

To show how a scanned case is verified physically before it is finished.

The approach

Models were printed from the same scan used for design. Each arch was seated, contacts were refined and the bite was checked before the glaze firing.

The finish

A multilayer disc gives the gradient. Staining is limited to fissures and interproximal warmth.
