Several products from the Initial ceramic system from GC have been used to achieve the beautiful crowns in this video. They can also be used for other types of ceramic restorations, such as veneers, inlays, onlays, etc.
Initial LiSi a highly aesthetic feldspar veneering ceramic adapted to the light-dynamics of lithium disilicate frameworks : https://www.gceurope.com/products/initiallisi/
For the framework, the lithium disilicate glass ceramic Initial LiSi Press was used: https://www.gceurope.com/products/initiallisipress/
For further characterization, the painting solutions Initial Lustre Pastes NF and Initial Spectrum Stains can be used:

In this video, a classic bio-aesthetic layering approach is shown; however, the ceramics can be used in various techniques (Expert – One – Posterior), as shown in other videos.
Preparation
The LiSi Press copings are shaped and prepared.
A thin wash firing before layering is required.
First firing
The incisal third is covered with highly fluorescent Fluo Dentin, the cervical area with chromatic INside material.
The dentin layer shouldn’t be too flat or too smooth and should cover the framework completely.
After firing, the dentin body shows an irregular incisal edge, this improves the light refraction and liveliness of the restoration.
Second firing
Although Initial LiSi has a low shrinkage during, small corrections with dentin can be necessary.
Continue with applying a thin layer of Clear Fluorescence evenly over the entire dentine body.
Layer the CL-F over the incisal edge to achieve depth effect and light guidance.
The final shape is built up with enamel.
An enamel mixture of standard Enamels, Enamel Opals or EOP-Booster increases the opalescence and the light dynamics of the enamel.
Finishing and glazing
After firing, the restoration should have a light gloss.
For corrections, the enamel-opal mixture from the previous firing can be used.
Use custom instruments and burs for final shaping and prepare the crown for glazing.
Apply Initial Lustre pastes NF and/or Spectrum Stains for individualized characterization.
The end result is a very natural looking restoration with lively light dynamics.
