Metal Ceramics the Easy Way – Featuring the new GC Initial MC Revo

Course Description:

Metal ceramics continue to play an essential role in modern laboratory workflows, yet traditional layering techniques can be time‑consuming, complex and difficult to standardise.

This one‑day hands‑on course introduces GC Initial MC Revo, a modern metal‑ceramic concept inspired by the efficiency, predictability and reduced layering approaches seen in contemporary all‑ceramic workflows.

Delegates will learn how to produce high‑quality, aesthetic metal‑ceramic restorations using fewer materials, fewer ceramic layers and a simplified, repeatable system approach. Designed for both experienced ceramists and technicians newer to metal ceramics, this course demonstrates how “less is more” can deliver speed, confidence and consistency — without compromising aesthetics or durability

Learning Objectives

By the end of this course, delegates will be able to:

• Confidently apply a simplified metal‑ceramic workflow using GC Initial MC Revo to achieve predictable, aesthetic results
• Reproduce accurate A–D shades consistently using standardised mixing ratios with minimal material complexity
• Improve bench efficiency by working with fewer ceramic layers inspired by modern all‑ceramic concepts
• Produce repeatable and reliable outcomes across everyday metal‑ceramic cases, helping to reduce corrections and remakes
• Adopt a complete, modern metal‑ceramic system that is easy to learn, easy to standardise and suitable for daily production

CPD: 7 hours - GDC learning outcome level C
