GC has taken the One-Body concept one step further by introducing the One-Body Layering Over Metal set and the One-Body Layering Over Zirconia set; these porcelain systems allow users to create the same esthetic restorations as IQ Press-Over but in powder form for conventional layering. This "Econ" concept is designed for efficiency by eliminating the need for multiple powders to achieve lifelike results, speeding up production without sacrificing quality.
