28. IPS Empress Esthetic Shade selection / Adhesive preparationAdhesive technique Step-by-step IPS Empress Esthetic Veneer Step-by-step IPS Empress Esthetic partial crown Clinical long-term studiesCommunicationThe success story 28 The correct brightness value of the final shade is exclusively determined by the ingot material. Masking of a dark die is usually achieved by using an ingot that exhibits both a high degree of opacity and a low colour intensity. The correct final shade of the veneer is a combination of the die shade, the ingot material, the layering material as well as the staining procedure and the used cementation material.
