Shade Concept
In the CAD-on technique, the desired restoration shade is the result of the combination of:
− the shade of the framework
(IPS e.max ZirCAD MO)
−  the shade of the fusion glass-ceramic  (IPS e.max CAD Crystall./Connect)
−  the shade of the veneering structure  (IPS e.max CAD HT)
−  characterizations   
(IPS e.max CAD Crystall./Shades, Stains)
The desired esthetic properties can be specifically achieved if the correct materials which correspond to 
the tooth shade are selected. 
Note: If other combinations are selected (e.g. different zirconium oxide shades), the final shade may 
 differ.
