UP3D Bonding Guide for Lithium Disilicate, IPS e.max, Sinter-Free Lithium Disilicate, and ZeroFire Ceramics.

MetiSmile – What’s with the Weird Letters?
If you've opened a 3D face scan in MetiSmile and been greeted by a mess of floating abbreviations — Tr, Al, Pm, Ns, Ex, and so on — you're not alone.
