SEOUL, South Korea: Dental ceramic specialist HASSBIO has announced that it will host a hands-on course by master ceramist Christian Vordermayer during the 2026 Oral Design Symposium in Seoul. The course is scheduled for 17 and 18 September, and the symposium, which focuses on aesthetic design, oral rehabilitation and advanced restorative concepts, will take place from 17 to 20 September.

In his course, titled “The power from ZI-F on Amber Press Master”, Vordermayer will focus on the fabrication of minimally invasive veneers and natural-looking anterior restorations. The course is intended for dentists and dental technicians interested in biomimetic aesthetics and layered ceramic techniques.

The masterclass will cover build-up techniques and shade and layering protocols for applying Creation ZI-F veneering ceramic (Creation Willi Geller) to an Amber Press Master framework. Amber Press Master is a lithium disilicate-based press ingot made by HASSBIO and is designed for stable firing behaviour and natural-looking aesthetics.

The hands-on course will focus on three material characteristics:

Thermal stability: Amber Press Master has a relatively high glass transition temperature, which supports the stability and marginal integrity of the framework during firing cycles and helps minimise material deformation.
Compatibility with Creation ZI-F: Used with Creation ZI-F veneering ceramic, Amber Press Master is intended to support bonding and optical integration, including the reproduction of translucency, opalescence and internal chroma.
Strength and fracture resistance: The material is designed for thin restorations, including veneers, because of its strength and resistance to chipping.

Master-level artistry and clinical protocols

Vordermayer, a member of the Oral Design International Foundation, will share his clinical and laboratory protocols for working with Amber Press Master. The session will demonstrate how the material’s optical and physical properties can be used to create delicate, durable restorations that reproduce the light dynamics of natural dentition.
