Restorations Du Jour

[GG - J]

Contours I think are a lot more important than 15 powder builds

I agree
Always thought it would great to take a class
With a single powder build up with emphasis on contours

@Al. What was your target shade, and how well did it match? Was it LiSi? BLE, EXW?

That's LiSi BLE ingot
BL4 to BL3 was shade request and prep shade is A2.
I stained a little B1 empress stain in proximals and pulled it towards facial a little and fired then glazed then rubber wheeled facial to smooth out the glaze
the shade was pretty nice on the die with the pastel coming through but white off the die.

this layred A1 ingot.

Looking at these pic I think the laterals and cuspids are over contoured.
But the case went out today already.

One of the final phases of this FMR
Monolithic lisi B1
Uppers layered with incisal

 

[cumino]

Great work, can I ask what temperature you fire for emax, monolithic and incisal cutback........do you use any sort of glaze material?

I fire on low end when layered , regular temp when mono then rubber wheel surface to make it smooth then buff with this fiber brillo pad wheel , no diamond paste
Lisi Press with Ivo glaze paste
