Beautiful and very natural _ that's how crowns/ veneers should be done . What are they ?

 

[JohanBarnard]

Very kind words Martintay. They are bonded crowns with Tilite P alloy.

Excellent work!!

I need to raise my game after seeing this. Care to share your buildup techniques?

 

[JohanBarnard]

Thank you RKM. Blood, sweat , tears and a lot of remakes . Very hard to answer that question in a few words. Never stop playing is the best I can do. PM me with any direct questions and I will gladly answer them.

I`ll be monitoring this post - I hope it has more reply`s than "Which is the Best Digital .....?" It deserves it !!

Yes, beautiful! I'd love to see a breakdown of powders used.

Extremely nice !!!! any direct facial pics before glazing that shows surface texture ...love the surface finish.

Sweet... and I for one expect to see more of your work in the coming days .... please !

 

[JohanBarnard]

Thank you all, very kind. Did not expect the likes. Sorry Charles, did not think of taking pics before glaze at the time. Very new to taking pics of lab work. Second time only of posting photos.

Very simple buildup Desertfox384 for EX-3 users. A3 base on all except canine A4. CCV powders mixed with dentine in cervical area, high value incisal in tips. T-blue as my translucent mass and LT1 to finish the body. Nothing fancy, only been using Noritake for 3 months. Still feeling my way around, very good porcelain in my opinion.

Beautiful work! What porcelain were you using before making the change?

stunning my friend, love the photography it blew up my screen! Porc magins on them?

Johan I don`t want to detract from your post - but how do you find this alloy ? Thankyou.

 

[JohanBarnard]

Always porcelain margins GAP. I was a VM13 user for many years. Until I could not bear fighting the ceramic any more. Moved to Heraceram for one year. Good porcelain , but supply and support very difficult in UK. Noritake is very user friendly, toying with idea of using the czr on my zirconia work. Currently using Emax for that. Just curious to see how it compares.

Fantastic alloy Martin, due try it. We have been using it for 18 months. Oxide is a thing of the past, extremely easy to cast. Moved over from palladium alloys and never looked back. Contact Michelle at Taladium, they do very good dentist packs which helped me convert my clients.

Thanks Johan , I will try it. CZR is a good ceramic ! Maybe not quiet as aesthetic as E-Max but I think a lot stronger on Zr and more suitable IMO .No failures in 8 years !!

[JohanBarnard]

Thanks Martin, will give CZR a try.

 

[JohanBarnard]

Hi guys. Same case with new photographic toys.

 

[Ceyram]

Great work Johan! How is the ex-3 shade matching to the original vita shades?

 

[JohanBarnard]

Thank you Ceyram. I am very happy with the matching. I have tried a few of the value shades too ( 3d out of a bottle). Perfect straight out of the bottle.
