firmed correct, but there was still a problem with the tooth color. It was too light and did Matthias Klingner
not suit the patient.
So, everything to be redone? We decided to correct the color of the teeth with VITA
Akzent LC. We sandblasted our teeth; we bathed them with Connector and then applied

prosthesis virtually brings immense added value for planning reliability. The patient is
happy, the dentist is happy, what more could you want? An even happier dental technician!
And that brings me to my next wish: Ivotion Denture Disc for Ceramill.
