With the new Colour Liquid Prettau® Aquarell Opaque it is now possible to colour copings and monolithic crowns in zirconia in order to cover non-aesthetic and dark dies, substructures or cervical areas.
On zirconia copings, the Colour Liquid Prettau® Aquarell Opaque can be applied once, either inside or outside. Application on the outer surface enhances the covering effect of the Opaque Liquid. On copings, the colouring liquid has a very strong opacifying effect, even on very thin walls, with a thickness of 0.3 mm. -
Crowns can be infiltrated with the colouring liquid once, only on the inside, in order to preserve the aesthetic result of monolithic and reduced structures. They should have a wall thickness of at least 0.7 mm so that the base colour of pre-coloured zirconia types is retained.
The difference between the coloured and non-coloured structures becomes clearly visible when they are placed on model dies. -

Before: In copings which have not been coloured with Colour Liquid Prettau® Aquarell Opaque, the dark dies shine through the zirconia. -

Result: If the dies had been coloured with Colour Liquid Prettau® Aquarell Opaque, they would no longer be visible through the zirconia. The final tooth shape as well as the dentine colour is achieved with the ceramics layering, for example with ICE Ceramics.
