6.4. Apply COMPOSITE PRIMER to all cervical areas which
were made longer than required.
Then build-up GRADIA BODY to reproduce a natural-
looking transitional area between the veneers and the
gum tissue.
6.5. Build up and pre-cure Gum Body.
First build up the distant sections (no. 1 and 2), to
avoid crack formation due to polymerization shrink-
age. Then build-up the middle section (no.3) and light
cure for 30 seconds to bond all sections together.
6.7. Apply Gum Modifier, taking into account the shape of
the alveolar bone beneath the gingival tissue and the
shade of the transitional area in contact with the buc-
cal mucosa. (A mixture of GM36 and GM33 was
applied in this case)
6.11. In order to create a deep gingival tissue shade, apply a
translucent shade to the surface. To have the Gum
Modifier appear in a clear shade, use translucent shade
(G20, GM 30). If a softer gum appearance is desired,
apply Gum Translucent (GT41).
