Tips for layering
It is advisable to apply Deep Dentin of the next brighter shade or highly opaque
pastes, e.g. Mamelon light, to the pontic rest to ensure adquate shade stability. After
that, layer these areas using Cervical, Deep Dentin and/or Dentin materials.
Before layering, avoid mixing and overlapping the pastes to prevent air from
being trapped. Do not mix high- and low-viscosity materials with each
other.
Use the shaded Transpa materials to complete and enhance the vitality in the incisal
area. Transpa blue is suitable for the mesial and distal aspects.
Use Mamelon materials to create a lifelike shade effect in the incisal third. They are
applied on the completed incisal area. Create smooth transitions. Avoid edges, since
they may look like stubs after polymerization and the mamelons may appear too
pronounced.
It is recommended to build up the veneer segment-by-segment (tooth-by-tooth) and
separate from each other and then to precure. Finally, the individual veneers are
joined.
Opal Effect pastes provide a true-to-nature opalescent effect in the incisal third. Opal
Effect 1 is applied to the cut-back dentin as extension of the dentin core and then
precured. Opal Effect 5 is suitable to create secondary dentin.
