Your advantages, at a glance.

Self-levelling and self-wetting glaze pastes

Optimized wetting behaviour for uniform application without beading

Excellent surface coverage without running or pooling – thanks to exceptional viscosity

Uniform distribution – regardless of the restoration’s surface texture

Stable pasty texture during staining

No surprises: Staining layers stay exactly where they are placed, even after firing, and retain their shade

Reliable shading and precise detailing during characterization

No running – for precise staining with the desired effect

One-shot technique for more efficiency

Staining and glazing in only one firing cycle

Ideal for the wet-on-wet staining technique

Quick application of detailed characterizations in a single step

No running – controlled application

Phenomenal gingiva shades

Illusion Gingiva pastes enable the precise and realistic reproduction of gingival tissues, adapted to various phenotypes. The first-ever cadmium-free red shades with firing stability are based on an innovative formulation that leads to natural-looking aesthetics – even in the gingival area.

Unique, form-stable structure pastes

Specially developed, stable consistency for shape stability during application and after firing

Efficient application of 3D effects and textures – without the need for an additional veneering step
