OPALESCENCE PORCELAIN
 
A valuable element in the effort to produce vital, natural-looking restorations lies in the use of opalescent porcelain. The combination of translucent enamel porcelain, warm internal effects and subtle characterizations yields a truly esthetically pleasing and natural result.
   
The metal substructure receives a layer of opaque that has a stippled surface. Then the porcelain is applied, being layered with opalescent  material.  
   
  After the porcelain is contoured and glazed, and inserted, light will penetrate the enamel and dentin porcelain layers and refract off the stippled opaque, bouncing the light back out of the crown in many different directions. This multifaceted dispersion of light gives the restoration vitality and beauty as the refracted light is absorbed by the eye.
