4m 24s
This video explores techniques to create mammelons in direct and indirect restorations using composite resins. We discuss the lack of specific resins for mammelon effects in direct systems and how to overcome it by using opaque resins and pigments for characterization. Options like salmon and ochre pigment blends are presented to mimic natural tones, along with a review of brand and laboratory system differences. We highlight how slight translucency variations, such as those seen in 3M resins, influence aesthetic outcomes. Additionally, the impact of application techniques, including creating diffuse lighting effects, is discussed. This content is ideal for professionals aiming to refine aesthetic details in their restorative work.
