[QUOTE="charles007, post: 321723, member: 9"] Bob, when Vita released their new 3d Bleachedshade Guide many years ago I made the mistake of handing these out. No problem if you were using Vita porcelain on pfms but throw in zirconia and your screwed. Didn't take to long for me to give up using colored zirconia so I asked my milling lab to only light color the lingual or only a hint of color on the facials, depending on the bleached shade. ( btw, never saw a patient that matches Ivoclars Bleached shade guide, to opaque and white. I asked all my accounts to not use that guide. In my opinion its a freak shade guide. lol ) Anyway use white zirconia and color enamels only on these light 3d shades. Use with MiYO to nail in the value and shade, and use Vita's new zir porcelain if layering. This will solve all your 3d bleached shade problems. I did use GC, Creation and Noritake's zir porcelain with their conversion charts and my modifications with success but Vita is so simple and no mixing. [/QUOTE]
