[QUOTE="user name, post: 27351, member: 1719"] If youre not ready and willing to 'play' with it, then youre headed for frustration. No matter which product line you choose you will need time and patience to learn its charictaristics. I havent yet found the magical 'teeth in a bottle'. A couple things to keep in mind though, even if a crown matches according to youre eye in the lab...you probably recieved a shade from a Doctor (for now, your Dad),who is taking a shade under different light than you likely have in the lab. A crown will only match a tooth exactly under a specific light...Day or night, clowdy or sunny, indoors or out, flourecent, halogen, etc. My opinion..Pick a porcelain that: has a good reputation, is available with good customer support ( quick shipping, no back orders),and then learn it. A-3 might be a spot on match with the opaque, dentin and some incisal....based on what thickness? Its the ability and willingness to 'play with it' that gives a tech the edge and our value. We're artists dude. Otherwise youll just be a scan print mill machine. Now go play. P.S. (inline) [/QUOTE]
