Whip Mix Corporation held a one-day zirconia shading course entitled "How to Get the Most out of Monolithic Zirconia" on Friday, June 15. The course was taught by Al Fillastre, CDT. Whip Mix manufactures the Vericore family of zirconia products, which can be accurately and easily shaded with several coloring systems, but an understanding of the handling requirements of the materials is necessary to achieve consistency. The hands-on course offered an almost paint-by-numbers approach to shading zirconia and practical tips to shorten the learning curve with a simplified custom coloring technique that is easy, effective, and predictable.
