“Achieving High Aesthetics Using HASS Amber Materials” Cristian Petri’s Top 5 Reasons to Use Amber

Award winning dental technician and speaker Cristian Petri, shares three cases using Amber materials. Cristian has worked with pressed ceramics since 2003 and lithium disilicate since 2010. In this blog, Cristian explains his top 5 reasons why Amber lithium disilicate has been his go-to product for over 5 years.

Of all the facial expressions, the smile is the strongest, the most beautiful way to say: I am happy, I am successful, I feel good, I have confidence

Thanks to its predictable results and conservation of tooth structure, ceramic veneers and table tops are indicated for many aesthetic and functional treatments.

Cristian's cases

Here are three cases that demonstrate perfectly the versatility, aesthetics and function that can be achieved with Amber Mill, Amber Press and Amber LiSi POZ from HASS.

Cristian's top 5 reasons to use Amber:

First of all, I can say that for over 5 years I have been treating cases with Amber, and when patients come back for review, we always see the same aesthetic results as if it was the first day of treatment.

Here are my top 5 reasons ...

1. Flexibility

The market has so many lithium disilicate products to choose form, yet what I love about HASS products is that they cater for both analogue and digital workflows. The dental technician has the flexibility to work within both disciplines and achieve the same results. Also, the technician can combine a mixed protocol.

2. Consistency

The flexibility allows for the end user to always achieve the same colours, regardless of how the technician chooses to work. There are no surprises.

3. Achieve beautiful aesthetics pressed over Zirconia with LiSi POZ

Amber LiSi POZ is the only lithium disilicate on the market that can be pressed over zirconia. The zirconia skeleton provides the necessary stability, whilst Amber LiSi POZ possesses the optical properties similar to natural enamel.

4. Produce four translucencies from one ingot with Amber Mill

Amber Mill is the only brand that can produce four translucencies from one ingot; reducing your inventory, and improving productivity. With other brands, if the wrong translucency was achieved, another ingot may need to be milled. This is not necessary with amber, because the same restoration can be placed back in the oven to re-fire in order to achieve the desired translucency.

5. Achieve the most realistic fluorescence with Amber Mill

Amber Mill mimics natural tooth fluorescence far better than many other brands on the market. This can be seen perfectly under UV light conditions.
