This course offers an insight into the latest ceramic techniques

for in-depth layering creating enhanced vitality and aesthetics

with lustre and translucent porcelains for these “close to

nature” restorations.

The GC Ceramic Line is a system covering all possible ceramic

indications within one colour line. This practical course

will highlight the optimal lifelike aesthetics that are easily

reproducible without the limits of creativity with a particular

emphasis on all gum porcelains.

Demonstrating the excellent handling properties of EX-3.

Intricate layering and staining techniques will be demonstrated

for multiple unit frameworks to achieve vitality and anatomical

form. Superior to other porcelains because its coeffi cient of

thermal expansion remains stable during repeated baking,

therefore when fi ring long-span bridgework, each unit may be

precisely customised with repeated baking with minimal risk

of cracking.
