Im doing a #8; stump is about an OM2, final shade is 1M1. I dont have lots of LiSi experience, but Im thinking start with an MT-BO? Ive never seen a HT-EWX. Thoughts?

id do MTB1, never tried EWX
with miyo i have no fear of hitting 1M1 from B1 at all.'
now if its super thick, yeah i could see B0 instead...and stain accordingly

The EWX is very bright with the bluish opalescence of bleached teeth. You have a 0M2 stump which is already very light, why not use an HT 57, or an HT BLE? MTB0 is a great choice, if #9 doesn't have to much translucency.

I might be doing the HT-57. Nowak is on back order with the MT-BO.

Its EXW I think, like extra white.. its super white, Definitely not for a 1m1.

I would go with the ht-BLE, its awesome. Or the MT-B0 if youre going to layer it.

57 might work in a pinch.

On their chart, HT-BLE is whiter than the EXW...no?

I hate getting these single centrals. This is a Doc that doesnt let me do the money makers. I just get the critical ones. He has no idea how bad my anxiety and indecision gets over these.

No the ex-w is definitely brighter. Its ridiculous, but Ive used it for a few veneer cases. The girls seem to like it, but the BLE is better.

Ditto on the HT BLE. Very easy to bring to 1m1. Depends if your layering though.

This will be layered. On these type of cases, I always do 2 crowns. I realize I basically selling them at half price, but I want to get it right.

Been there in the past trust me! MT-BO should work just fine then. If you are making 2 crowns I would encourage you to make the other out of HT BLE so you can compare. In my experience MT BO monolithic stained to 1m1 just doesn’t look natural.

That would cost another ingot. When I do two, I press both out of the same ingot, but vary how I stain and layer. Im just looking for the best core color and value.

Wish you sucess for sure, have a similar case presenting on Thursday for shade appt. Really appreciate your conquest here!!! Thinking Celtra as an alternative maybe, all comes down to translucency in the end for a "Match"

Do you have emax MT BL3
I am expecting some LiSi MT-BO to show up today, but I was just getting ready to re-mill and press with an e.Max LT-BL3. Cut back and layer.
I dont know how Ive managed to stay in business all these years. When its easy I think Im pretty good. These tough ones make me question myself.

Depending on the thickness you might not need to layer much at all. Remember the more you fire them the lower the value gets. Use a brighter incisal ,1M1 has a subtle translucency, stay away from TI1, use BL incisal or I1
