We in the lab have been using for a good few years the white Argen zirconia and their pre-sinter staining kit.
Their has been many a dispute over colour of the full contour zirconia after sintering... Too grey, too bright, too this, too that, we should more of this and less of that... I could go on. My point is the massive inconsistencies in pre-sinter staining.
I'm pitching for a change to the boss...
After watching a webinar with Jack Marrano, I asked about pre-sinter staining and he said avoid it and for the reasons exactly why we have experienced. Inconsistency.
So, I have a few questions as we mill in the lab.
We usually stock ZHT white in 14, 18 and 25mm. We are mainly an implant lab.
If we were to move to pre-shaded zirconia pucks do you guys have literally A-D pucks all in your stock in varying heights?
Do you use multi layered or single shaded? Can you still get a good depth of colour definition from cervical to incisal with the single shaded?
Are there any differences in strength between the multi-layered and single shaded? (some people can be very touchy on the subject of strength of materials)
So my pitch is, we go to shaded zirconia pucks (single or multi-layered)
It'll save us money and importantly, time not having to buy and use the pre-sinter stains... And most importantly consistency in post sinter shades, it'll just be up to us to get a vital, well shaded crown after sinter using our stain kits.
I just need to know what stock to hold.
Many thanks for all your help guys.
If anyone wants to post some photos here of their FCZ, I'd like to see them.
