Hi everybody!
I just got a combination case #19 PFM and #18 e.max inlay, the shades are chromascope 230/220/140. PFM will be layered in InLine A3.5/A3/A2 and I though to press #18 in LT A2, or should I do it in HT A2 (in the earlier threads some people were saying that HT inlays appears darker when seated). Can you give me your opinions about shade selection and type of ingot that I should use on this case?
Thank you.:)

HT are for inlays.

H2 A2

The greyness was from full press crowns.

Yep, as Travis had said the HT will work well for your inlay. HT's work best in inlays, onlays, veneers and SMALL full crowns (such as lower centrals & laterals). Use the LT ingots for the rest! You have to understand, the HT is a very translucent, high-strength Lithium Disilicate and with the HT materials, light will transmit all the way through restoration until it hits dentin. The tooth prep shades are very important when choosing HT also. Materials such as PFM and zirconia are very opaque and light hits the opaque substructures and bounces back.
