With the ready-mixed opalescent IPS Empress Esthetic Veneer layering materials, the Veneer Technique has come yet another step closer to imitating nature. The IPS Empress Esthetic Ingots can be efficiently and quickly built up with the new materials. By applying the "cut-back" technique, the fully anatomic pressed IPS Empress Esthetic Ingots are reduced to a dentin-mamelon structure in the incisal third. Subsequently, the ingots can be internally characterized, e.g. mamelons can be recreated, with the Wash Pastes.

These specially shaded and ready-mixed "two-in-one" pastes improve the natural aesthetics of the overall result.

The incisal third can be built up with 14 layering materials, three of which are opalescent.

Indications:
Aesthetic build-up of the incisal area of pressed anterior veneers and of anterior crowns.
