Responsible for layered ceramic buildup on crowns, bridges, and implant restorations to achieve optimal esthetics, shade accuracy, and morphology. The role focuses on reproducing natural tooth characteristics while maintaining functional integrity and consistency with lab protocols
Ceramic Layering & Build-up
- Perform ceramic layering on zirconia, metal-ceramic, and implant-supported frameworks
- Execute dentin, enamel, and effect layering based on case requirements
- Maintain correct contour, anatomy, and occlusal morphology
Shade & Esthetics
- Interpret shade prescriptions, digital scans, and reference images
- Replicate translucency, texture, and characterization (mamelons, stains, halos, etc.)
- Work closely with shade-matching team for high-esthetic cases
Case Handling
- Evaluate frameworks before buildup (fit, reduction, surface quality)
- Identify and escalate discrepancies prior to layering
- Follow case-specific instructions and standard protocols
Firing & Material Handling
- Manage ceramic firing cycles as per manufacturer and lab protocols
- Handle ceramic materials efficiently to minimize contamination and wastage
- Maintain consistency in shrinkage compensation and layering thickness
