Product catalog summary
Introduction to DC Ceram ConceptArt:
DC Ceram is a new product line in the ceramay family, complementing the existing Authentic and Pulse lines. It utilizes components that mimic the fluorescence and opalescence of natural teeth, enhancing the aesthetic quality of dental restorations.
Stain Paste for Zirconium Oxide and Lithium Disilicate:
This stain paste is designed for use in the stain technique or for individual characterization as internal stains. It offers ease of use and excellent results for pressed, milled, or hand-layered ceramics. The paste's consistency is tailored to its application, ensuring a dimensional and homogeneous appearance post-firing.
Fluorescent Stain Paste:
Fluorescent stains offer significant advantages over classic stains by amplifying light, maintaining a natural tooth-like appearance even in darker areas of the mouth, and preventing graying.
Shade System:
The shades are based on the Vita Shade system (A, B, C, D) and are primarily applied from the cervical area to the tooth equator. The intensity is controlled by the amount applied, and the shades are numbered 1-4. This system ensures consistent color without altering the basic shade of the restoration.
Value Stains:
These stains adjust the brightness of the restoration, with options ranging from bleach shades to darker, more transparent tones. The brightness is controlled by the quantity of fluorescent particles and optical color control.
Modifier Stains:
Modifier stains are used to alter specific tooth areas, offering pure colors not bound to a color group. They are recommended for enamel craze lines or occlusal abrasive areas.
Application and Firing Instructions:
The document provides detailed firing instructions for different ovens, including start temperature, pre-dry time, closing time, heat rate, final temperature, hold time, and vacuum settings for both shade/stain and glaze applications.
Conclusion:
DC Ceram ConceptArt represents a significant advancement in dental ceramics, offering a range of stains and shades that enhance the aesthetic and functional qualities of dental restorations. The product line is designed to meet the high aesthetic demands of both dentists and patients.

DC Ceram Concept Art-1

DC Ceram - the new product line DC Ceram is the latest addition to the already established ceramay product lines Authentic and Pulse. Some of the same basic components that show the fluorescence and opalescence of natural teeth are being used once again. Spherical opalescent demixing regions (30 -300µm) refract and scatter the incoming light. conceptArt – the stain paste for zirconium oxide and lithium disilicate Used for the stain technique or for individual characterization as “internal stains”. These stains require little effort to achieve excellent results for pressed, milled or hand layered ceramic. The consistency is matched to the respective area of application which means thus staining of shades with lower viscosity, results in a more dimensional and homogeneous appearance after firing. The rich consistency of the modifier makes it easier for the technician to create a more targeted characterization of the ceramic. conceptArt – the fluorescent stain paste Compared to classic stains, fluorescent stains have a huge advantage. The fluorescent components operate to amplify light. This means the conceptArt stains will retain their light optical appearance (similar to that of a natural tooth) even in relatively dark areas of the mouth cavity. Another advantage to the conceptArt fluorescent stains is that graying does not occur. The Shades Our shades are named after the Vita Shade system A,B,C and D. Mainly added in the cervical area of the tooth up to the tooth equator they provide the ceramic restoration with a chromatic basic shade. The intensity is controlled by the quantity applied and the shade is defined by the numbers 1 - 4. In contrast to the modifier or value stains the technician stays within the same color group if applied too strongly or too weak, without changing the basic shade of the ceramic restoration. The consistency of the conceptArt shades is set up so dimensional staining will be no problem and the sometimes “spotty” looking stain after firing is now a thing of

The Value The value refers to the brightness of the natural tooth. Bleach shades are the brightest, grey or transparent teeth are the lowest value. But also specific areas of natural teeth appear bright and therefore they are made out of fluorescent materials. In the fluorescent stains the brightness is controlled by the quantity of fluorescent particles in the porcelain stain and the optical color control. Gray or dark blue applied in the incisal area suggests a light transmission, less bright (similar to glass). A whiter area, less blue, creates the impression of a shiny bright body (similar...

Posterior Onlays pressed and stained Years ago it was still unthinkable to manufacture crowns and bridges out of a single porcelain ingot without any further porcelain application and to stain it so that it would meet the high esthetic demand of dentists as well as patients. Modern stains with their optical properties can get really close to the interplay of the light in the natural dentition. Fluorescent shades and stains are the carrier of success in the stain technique because they copy nearly perfectly even in darker regions of the mouth the chromatic and brilliant characteristics of the...
