THE SOUTH TYROLEAN DOLOMITES The white, rugged and ancient Dolomites, unique of their kind, rise up from the enormous primordial sea of Tethys 250 million years ago. Lifted with strength by the hard coral reefs of the African continent, they stand proudly against the infinite sky, challenging all weather conditions. As unique as this natural monolith, is zirconia the dental material of choice.

ONE-TO-ONE FUNCTION A FINAL RESTORATION IDENTICAL TO THE PATIENT’S NATURAL TOOTH COLOUR If the material of the shade guide and the material of the zirconia crown are identical, it is ensured that the colour of the zirconia restoration corresponds 1:1 with the natural tooth colour of the patient.

HOW TO AVOID POSSIBLE DISTURBING INFLUENCES WHEN USING ZIRKONZAHN SHADE GUIDES - Colour determination should be carried out under natural daylight conditions or in a room illuminated with standardised daylight lamps; avoid direct, bright light (approx. 2000 lux, a well-lit dental chair already has approx. 8000 lux). Carry out colour determination quickly in no longer than 5-7 s. The human eye tires quickly when looking at something with concentration. This also affects the colour perception. Perform colour matching in a neutral colour environment, on a patient without make-up who is wearing...

TOOTH SHADE DETERMINATION STEP BY STEP EXPLANATION - Clean natural teeth well before determining the tooth colour, if necessary carry out a dental cleaning. The teeth surfaces do not have to be dried out, otherwise the teeth will appear too white. Carry out colour determination with relaxed lip position, ideally under daylight conditions (slightly cloudy sky) or under standardised daylight illumination. Hold the corresponding shade guide at a distance but still as close as possible next to or under the corresponding natural patient tooth (tooth neck to tooth neck or incisal edge to incisal...

MIRROR OF TIME AND LIFESTYLE The teeth are a mirror of a person’s life and individual lifestyle. They are different from person to person and disposition, lived years, nutrition and habits of each human being shape a unique appearance of wear patterns, degrees of translucency and colouring. The colour of a tooth is formed by the combination of dentine and enamel. In youth and when the person is in healthy growth, the dentine has a uniform colour. With increasing age, discolouration occurs, which usually manifests itself as darker areas in the dentine area. The overlying enamel, which is...

COLOUR SELECTION AND INDIVIDUALISED COLOUR DESIGN WITHOUT CHIPPING Especially the incisal areas of monolithic zirconia restorations can be further individualised as desired. This can be achieved by applying a coloured glaze or by a minimal incisal reduction (minimal cutback) and subsequent light ceramic veneering. Monolithic restorations fabricated in this way completely prevent ceramic chipping (no chipping of small ceramic particles), because the ceramic applied in the incisal area according to individual interpretation and preference only fulfils aesthetic purposes. THE TOOTH COLOUR – A...
