Low value over abutment.

[sndmn2]

I'm having trouble with a light shade over an abutment. I'm doing a layered zirc. Any tricks you can help me with ? Thanks

Can you remill your zirconia to a much lighter/brighter/higher value shade? Or, we use HO cement if it's screw-retained, but if it's cement-retained, not much you can do other than mill out different shade and anondizing the abutment a gold color should help as well.

If your having trouble use white uncolored zirconia as your frame. Then color frame with liners/etc powders as usual.
Works every time on bleached shades and very light shades.

What type of abutment?
If it's titanium I would suggest using an opacious cement from Ivoclar Multilink Hybrid Abutment HO
I'd also consider a monolithic ,maybe cutback near the incisal but that's it.
keep the zirconia as thick as possible.
Gold anodize the abutment.

Never have much issue even with STML, but when I need to...Jensen XT with a light tough of Changs Opak White inside.

Low translucent or as some people call it opacious zirconia. It is made for that...dark stump or metal framework
