Zenostar T - Partial veneering
This procedure involves building up the incisal and occlusal areas of a reduced Zenostar T framework with Incisal materials. The
limited application of layering material permits achieving highly esthetic results in an efficient manner.
Finishing
Adjustment by grinding of the sintered Zenostar T restorations should be kept to a minimum.
Overheating must be avoided. If possible, the restoration should be finished with suitable finishers under water cooling, using low
speed and limited pressure.
Do not ’post-separate‘ the framework connectors. This may result in undesired predetermined breaking points, which will sub-
sequently compromise the stability of the all-ceramic restoration.
Zirconium oxide surfaces must be polished. Particularly the occlusal surfaces should be polished well, as insufficient polishing may
lead to increased wear.
Please observe the additional notes on finishing on page 25.
Veneering
The following paragraphs will explain the most important veneering steps if a partial veneering procedure is used. We recommend
using the following system for veneering as its components are optimally matched to Zenostar T as far as the shade and mechanical
properties are concerned:
