Metal Ceramics the Easy Way – Featuring the new GC Initial MC Revo with Mark Bladen
Simplified workflows. Predictable aesthetics. Modern metal ceramics without complexity.
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.

Meet Mark Bladen
Mark Bladen is a registered Dental Technician with over 30 years of experience in many aspects of Dental Technology and now manages his own Crown & Bridge Laboratory in Worcester specialising in private restorative work for a select group of dentists.
Mark has demonstrated all over the world, including Japan & South Africa, with many of the worlds leading ceramists at numerous exhibitions and courses. He currently specialises in Digital Ceramic workflows. Mark has recently embraced in-house milling along with GC's Initial's latest Zirconia solutions to achieve digital workflows which maximise efficiency whilst maintaining the superior level of aesthetics with which his name is synonymous.
Course Description:
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
