THE DENTIN CORE
The most important and thus most difficult thing for me was to always have control over the
dentin. Factors, such as shade, chroma, brightness and translucency have to be contained
already in the dentin core. With the first dentin firing, these properties become visible.
The dimensions of the dentin core
All these properties (shade, chroma, brightness and translucency) have to be ideally adjusted
in size and volume to the natural tooth.
• If the dentin core is too SMALL, I automatically apply too much Impulse and Incisal materials
and the tooth shade, brightness etc. will be lost.
• If the dentin core is too LARGE, there is no space for the Impulse and Incisal materials
and the tooth will lose its aesthetic properties.
TIP:
The biggest advantage of firing the dentin core is that we can efficiently and
elegantly control the dimensions of the dentin core by individual grinding.
A lifelike surface texture is created by individual grinding.
TPP: The incisal edge has to be reduced wafer-thin to achieve a harmonious tapering of the dentin core.
Predictable results
If required, small adjustments of shade, chroma and brightness can be made using Impulse
and Incisal materials in the second firing cycle.
