Introduction
Glazing dental ceramics is one of the most delicate steps in fabricating and restoring dental prosthetics. Traditional methods such as brush application are time‑consuming and often lead to uneven coverage. Keystone Industries introduced Enamelite Ceramic Sprays, which revolutionized this process by offering a faster, more precise, and more efficient glazing solution.
Features and Benefits
- Fast and easy application: Multiple ceramic units can be glazed within seconds.
- Uniform coverage: The spray creates a thin, even layer, preventing glaze buildup at margins.
- Time and cost savings: Eliminates multiple firing steps and reduces the need for extra tools.
- Universal compatibility: Works with zirconia, lithium disilicate, and other ceramic systems.
- Quick drying: Shorter drying time compared to brush techniques, improving workflow efficiency.
- Fluorescent option: Certain models, such as Low‑Fusing Fluorescent Ceramic Spray Glaze, provide natural fluorescence for better shade matching under different lighting conditions.
Product Variants
- CAD/CAM Scanning Spray – Prepares materials for accurate digital scanning.
- Low‑Fusing Ceramic Spray Glaze – A low‑temperature glaze for fast, precise coverage.
- Low‑Fusing Fluorescent Ceramic Spray Glaze – Adds fluorescence for enhanced esthetics and natural appearance.
Applications in Dentistry
- Glazing crowns, bridges, and other ceramic restorations
- Enhancing esthetics and brightness of prosthetics
- Reducing human error in glaze application
- Delivering more natural and durable results for patients
Challenges and Considerations
- Initial cost: Higher price compared to traditional methods, though cost‑effective long term.
- Training required: Proper technique is essential to achieve consistent results.
- Storage conditions: Must be stored correctly to maintain material quality.
Conclusion
Enamelite Ceramic Sprays combine speed, precision, and esthetics, setting a new standard in dental ceramic glazing. They improve laboratory and clinical efficiency while delivering superior, natural‑looking outcomes for patients.
