[QUOTE="JohnWilson, post: 123202, member: 213"] Hi Rob, I use Ivocap almost exclusively now but this is an older case that was pressed with most likley Diamond D. I tint most of these sorts of cases when I was compression packing and found on cases where the acrylic was a bit uneven in thickness to the frame work that if I opaque it it would not alter the overall shade. I think the end product looks nicer. I do the same thing with all my hybrid bars as well. His reasoning that patients just do not care for tinting and that the opaque takes up space has some merit but in my opinion is incorrect. Sure there is a percentage that would not know the difference but they are not generally the ones my clients are seeing. We use a frame for a couple of reasons and the main is that on cases where we are tight on interarch space we have a rigid substructure to minimize the potential fracture. Diamond d Chroma Essence was the shade we tinted much and it was opaque but it still would allow for metal shine through on occasions. Better safe than sorry, I do not line item the opaquing it part of my premium processing/tinting fee. [/QUOTE]
