3. Coloring of young teeth with creation of mamelons, transparent incisal edges, halo effect, and bleach shades.
4. Coloring of aged teeth with creation of deep gray or yellowish translucency, cracks, chalky spots, exposed cervical areas, incisal edge wear, and simulation of plaque and caries.
5. Application of structure masses to the gingival part of the restoration to achieve an “orange peel” surface effect. Modeling of interdental papillae and the upper labial frenum.
Attention!
During the practical session, each participant will apply 6 units on teeth and 6 units on gingiva.

- Beginner dental technicians as well as experienced professionals.
- Dental technicians who have already integrated the MiYo system into their practice and want to improve their skills in working with full-anatomical ZrO₂ and its coloring.
- Dental technicians planning to implement the MiYo system in their workflow.
- Dental technicians who fabricate restorations with artificial pink gingiva or want to learn how to do so.
- Dental technicians who want to master coloring techniques for full-anatomical restorations that are visually indistinguishable from layered ceramics using various staining systems.

- Dental technicians who want to master coloring techniques for full-anatomical restorations that are visually indistinguishable from layered ceramics using various staining systems.
This is a small-group training course with 2–4 participants, focused on hands-on skill development and individual guidance for each dental technician.
The MiYo system and full-anatomical restorations significantly simplify the daily workflow of a dental technician and accelerate the production process in the laboratory.
With the same number of technicians, implementing the MiYo system allows a laboratory to produce 2–3 times more restorations, which has a substantial impact on the laboratory’s productivity and financial performance.
