Ceramics or staining?
One three-unit bridge to compare facial layering, 3D staining with micro-layering and simple staining.
Explore the programmeEssential CAD/CAM
Receive cases by email or through the main cloud platforms, centralise files and communications, design a crown, an inlay/onlay, a veneer and a wax-up, then prepare a model for 3D printing.
Explore the programmePressed ceramics
Three IPS e.max Press restorations: one stained crown, one micro-layered crown and one partial restoration.
Explore the programmeCAD/CAM production
Design implant cases and a bar in exocad Bar Module, then prepare a controlled CAM production.
Explore the programmeAdvanced ceramics
Reproduce a central incisor on a coping and harmonise four layered units with two stained canines.
Explore the programmeAdvanced implant bridge
An implant bridge on thimbles with six teeth, completed by an anterior case combining a veneer on 11 with an implant-supported crown on 21.

The programme at a glance
One three-unit bridge to compare facial layering, 3D staining with micro-layering and simple staining.
Who is it for?
Dental-technology students, recent graduates and dental technicians who want to revisit the foundations.
Prerequisites
Know the general operation of a dental laboratory and its safety rules.
What you will produce
- Produce a crown layered on the facial surface.
- Combine 3D staining and micro-layering.
- Complete a simple staining protocol, then compare all three finishes.
Programme outline
Day 1
Introduction, bridge assessment and first steps
presentation of the theme, objectives and rules for precision, function, aesthetics and safety; assessment of the three-unit bridge and selection of the finish for each crown.
identification of connectors, contacts and occlusion; initial characterisation, facial layering, micro-layering and preparation for firing.
Day 2
Comparing the three finishes and harmonising the bridge
review of the first firing, correction of shape, thickness and contacts; 3D staining completed with micro-layering and simple staining of the third unit.
harmonisation of brightness, shade, volumes and texture; glazing, polishing and final checks of fit and occlusion.
