[QUOTE="TheLabGuy, post: 280055, member: 126"] We do Empress Esthetic once in awhile. Mostly for veneers or small inlays. Thing about empress is that its only around 100 MPa, you look mean at this stuff and she will break on you. I usually always send a Memo (same for feldspathic) to remind to Doc to be gentle during delivery. It presses at a much higher temp and it uses a different layering/stain as well. Most cut backs are only done on the incisal 1/3's for mamelon and incisal effects. Have to use a wash/neutral paste bake before you start layering. Also, and most importantly, it gets the shade from the prep (very important to get stump shades and use them with this stuff...its pretty translucent). [/QUOTE]
