When positioning the restoration in the disc, it is important to take the layering concept into account. Multi-layer zirconia discs have different layers with different degrees of translucency and shade gradients. Here are a few tips:

• It is important to ensure that the layers of the disc reflect the natural shade gradient of the tooth.

• The restoration should be positioned in such a way that the layers of the disc are optimally utilized.

• For crowns and bridges, the crown should be positioned in the upper, translucent area, and the base should be in the lower, more opaque area.

• To achieve an optimum shade match, we recommend positioning the restoration underneath the upper edge (incisal edge).

The shade effect of zirconia is affected by the layer thickness. Here are a few tips:

• Thinner layers appear more pale and translucent. In addition, discolored stumps can easily show through. When the layer thickness increases, the light transmission decreases, resulting in higher opacity. The restoration will appear more chromatic overall.

• Darker shades tend to be less translucent than lighter shades. For this reason, it might be helpful to choose a slightly lighter shade for dark stumps.

• The desired esthetics and functionality of the restoration can be achieved by combining the correct shade with the appropriate layer thickness. 

VITA YZ restorations should be milled dry for the following reasons:

• Avoiding cracks and structural defects
  With wet milling, it is possible for moisture to penetrate the porous zirconia. During the subsequent sintering process, this moisture evaporates. The resulting pressure can lead to cracks and structural defects in the material.

• Precision and surface quality
  Dry milling enables more precise processing and better surface quality. It reduces the risk of microcracks and other surface defects that could compromise the strength and esthetics of the restoration.

• Avoiding contamination
  With wet milling, impurities and additives from the cooling agent can enter the material and contaminate it.

• Efficiency and process optimization
  Dry milling is often faster and requires less finishing, making the entire fabrication process more efficient. Dry milling has a positive impact on the quality and durability of VITA YZ restorations.

This process step not only affects esthetics, but also functionality and strength.

Polishing improves the surface quality and increases the long-term stability. Polishing zirconia can create a smooth, shiny surface that is less prone to attracting plaque and is more hygienic. Mechanical properties such as flexural strength and crack resistance will also be positively influenced. A good polish in the occlusal area can prevent abrasion of the antagonist. Polished surfaces have a different visual effect than glazed surfaces.

When glazing, an additional layer is applied that can imitate the appearance of natural enamel and provide fluorescence. A well-applied glaze has a distinct esthetic effect. VITA YZ restorations achieve the final shade effect that matches the shade guide only once they are glazed.
