PubMed ID (PMID): 21323015Pages 351-365, Language: English, GermanKurbad, AndreasWith the aid of an innovatively structured ceramic block, it is possible to achieve results at a high esthetic level with relatively simple means. In the three-dimensionally structured Vitablocs RealLife, translucent enamel ceramic is arranged around a conically structured, opaque dentin core. The virtual restoration can be positioned freely in all three dimensions with the aid of the Cerec / inLab software. The restorations are milled fully anatomically and only minimally glazed or characterized with stains. Results that otherwise can be achieved only with much more complex layering processes are possible.
