Product Guide

A zirconia bridge for your posterior teeth patients is required. When sending your case to the lab, the lab requests to know if you want a monolithic zirconia bridge or a multilayer zirconia bridge and you are not quite sure about the differences between the two. This guide is all about explaining to you what

When planning a zirconia dental bridge, how should you design the bridge span based on the number and position of missing teeth? How should you consider abutment support, occlusal load, esthetic requirements, and the available restorative space? When outsourcing the case to a dental laboratory, how should you communicate your fabrication requirements to achieve the

A patient who would like to have a tooth replaced and who always asks you if there’s a way they don’t have to have metal in their mouth. Or perhaps you’ve seen a thin biotype and worried that the shadow of a titanium implant would detract from the appearance. It is at these times that

When selecting materials for dental cases, many people tend to confuse Multilayer Zirconia with Layered Zirconia. We previously had a customer who could not clearly distinguish between these two materials, which resulted in restorations that did not achieve the desired outcome. In this Multilayer Zirconia Guide, we will give an in-depth introduction to multilayer zirconia

You are planning to have a dental crown made, and the laboratory asks you to choose between monolithic zirconia, layered zirconia, and multilayer zirconia. What are the differences between them, and how should you decide? We have created this guide to monolithic zirconia to help you make informed choices regarding materials and restoration designs when

We all know that zirconia is one of the most commonly used materials in dental restorations. But do you clearly understand the differences between layered zirconia, monolithic zirconia, and multilayer zirconia? In upcoming articles, we will discuss each of these three types of zirconia in turn; today, let’s start with layered zirconia. This guide will

As you send a case to a dental lab for a cast partial denture, you might want to know how the framework should be designed. What material should be used? Whether there is enough room, and whether the lab can properly interpret the clinical information into a properly designed and fabricated restoration? These are precisely

When outsourcing immediate dentures to a dental laboratory, retention may be one of your biggest concerns. After all, poor denture retention is one of the common reasons dentists consider changing laboratories. In this article, we will explain what immediate dentures are, the different types and materials available, how they are fabricated, and their clinical applications.

Over the past 10+ years, we have helped many dental laboratories and dentists fabricate partial dentures. Throughout all these case communications, one question has come up far more frequently than any other: “Can you send me an image of the metal framework design for review before final fabrication?” Rather than answering this question repeatedly through

Deciding whether to provide a standard partial denture or a flexible partial denture for a patient with missing anterior teeth is a common dilemma; what exactly are the differences between the two? We wrote this article to address these questions. This guide covers the material properties, structure, material families, case types, and clinical restrictions of

You want to replace a patient’s existing complete denture with a new one while maintaining the current tooth arrangement. Can the laboratory reproduce it accurately? Can the existing bite and VDO be maintained or adjusted? Is a try-in available before final processing? And can the case be fabricated as a fully milled denture? By the

A patient needs a fixed restoration for one or more missing teeth; that’s when these questions will cross your mind: Which teeth or implants can provide support? How should the pontic and connectors be designed? Should the restoration use zirconia, PFM, or another material, and is a bridge appropriate for the clinical situation in the
