Restorations Du Jour

What is the opacity level of the enamel ingots, is it comparable to HT, or MT ingots?

Finally, found the guide!

Here is a comparison.
8 & 9 I made a year ago. Layered Emax.
6 & 7 and 10 & 11 seated yesterday.
Monolithic, Press and Glaze Enamal 58 LiSi Press (HT 58)
These ingots have given me lots of extra free time.

Pics at insert. Doc said he will send me better pis after tissue heals

Have you seen, or heard of any graying out with the HT enamel ingots, like e.max HT tend to do?

I really want to see the C and D ingots, the 58 and 59 look almost the same, and the A and B shades are easy and similar to emax anyway. Cs and Ds are the toughest to match without pressing light and staining brown.

I notice I ended up changing the shape from the wax up.

7-10 GC LiSi veneers (crown on 7 which was slightly discolored) E58 ingot layered with EOP1-2 and CLF .. unfortunately theres a blood spot interproximally.

Morphology is spot on, and maybe i'm too critical or it's just the photo but, it's not opaque like the others and it's missing the 2/3 body/cervical yellowing, and just kinda stands out to me.
Is this a hard thing to nail just right on LiSi restorations?

I forgot to mention, the only shade I got was the other pre-op pic.. The only shade tab was a D3 for shadewave, which I dont have. So I guessed on the shade. I saw the pt 1 hr before her appt because it was the only time she could come by, the veneers were already done, she approved the shade, so I delivered. For a guess its not too bad. I also widened the laterals to fill the space.

JMN, Im not sure what you mean by 'opaque' like the others.. Dr asked for translucent incisal.

When does hockey stop? The only thing I know about it is it looks like soccer on ice.
