The opaque also ensures true shade identity of all -type ceramics. Powder Opaque Provides a thin coat for the metal substructure and ensures good adhesion between the substructure and the ceramic. The opaque also ensures true shade identity of all -type ceramics. To use, mix with Optimix powder opaque liquid. Dentine For constructing the dentine core of the restoration and enhancing the primary shade effect. Dentine Modifier Lends a more individual nuance to the dentine core in a variety of shades. Chromatix™ (Chroma Dentine) Chromatix™ materials are dentine modifiers and are used to control and individualise chroma and opacity. Chromatix™ has a slightly higher opacity than the dentines, plus a slightly higher degree of chroma. Opale Incisal Opale Incisal provides a natural opalescence even with multiple firings. Opale Incisal can be mixed with regular incisal material or used on its own. “Light dynamics are a standard asset for us.” Opale Effect In contrast to the standard opale incisals, which are colour-keyed, the Opale Effect materials are characterised by linearly diminishing translucency and opalescence. Moreover, analogous to the diminishing translucency, the fluorescence of these materials shows a linear increase. This makes them ideal for simultaneously enhancing and regulating the brightness of the veneer in the incisal area. Shoulder High / Correction Shoulder High: for aesthetic, metalfree ceramic shoulders. Shoulder Correction: for low-melting corrections to the ceramic shoulder, e.g. after glazing. Transpa Clear / Transpa Neutral Translucencies with a wide variety of characteristics can be created using Transpa Clear / Transpa Neutral. As well as adding a nuance to incisal areas, it can be used to create translucent incisal edges. REFLEX® Stain Incisal For imitating the natural incisal enamel. The descriptions of the incisal refer to specific shades. Incisal 2 is needed, for example, to produce an overall A2 shade when using a standard A2 veneer. Incisal Modifier Final adjustments, for example in the cervical or occlusal areas, can be carried out using Stain. X Carving Liquids (mixing Liquid) X Carving Liquids are used for making up all -type veneering porcelain dentines, modifiers and incisals. They guarantee optimum modelling characteristics and a wide processing range together with excellent firing properties. REFLEX® ceramics should only be mixed with the recommended liquids. X Carving Liquid Retain Slow drying liquid. Also used for mixing shoulder masses. X Carving Liquid Speed Fast drying with minimum shrinkage. X Carving Liquid Red, Yellow and Blue The individual materials are shadecoded so that it is easier to make the right selections when building up the layers. X Stain Liquid (stain and glaze liquid) For mixing Liquid. -type stains use X Stain Paste Opaque Thinner For diluting REFLEX® paste opaque. In order to ensure the best handling, firing and bonding properties, only this thinner may be used. Use sparingly. Opaque Liquid Optimix (powder opaque mixing liquid) Correction This material can be used to correct veneers which have already been built up. The low firing temperature of 700 °C prevents any change in the shape or lustre of the veneer. Use for mixing REFLEX® powder opaque. In order to ensure the best handling, firing and bonding properties, only this liquid should be used. New Generation Ceramics Used to lend an individual accent to specific incisal enamel features. Flu Dentine (Fluorescent Dentine) This material also belongs to the group of dentine modifiers. Flu Dentine can be used to control the brightness of the veneer. The more Flu Dentine is added, the brighter the veneer becomes. Glaze This material determines the surface finish of the ceramic veneer. Glaze is applied thinly and evenly. When Glaze is used, the firing temperature can be reduced by about 10 °C. Because REFLEX® provides a homogeneous surface finish, glaze firing is not absolutely necessary. 11 Shoulder Liquid Special SH / Shoulder Correction Liquid SC i WIELAND Dental + Technik GmbH & Co.

Instructions for use – Preparing the substructure Indication REFLEX® is suitable for veneering all precious metal alloys with a CTE of 13.8 to 15.1·10-6K-1 (25 – 500 °C). We recommend the use of WIELAND high-gold alloys, e.g. Porta Geo Ti (biocompatible ceramic alloy) BioPorta G (biocompatible ceramic alloy) Porta P 6 (high-gold ceramic alloy) and AGC® electroforming gold and all low-gold alloys and palladium alloys. Substructure ready for the 1st opaque bake Use of non-precious metal alloys Please note that non-precious metal alloys tend to require more careful handling. Please refer to our list of recommendations when choosing non-precious metal alloys or ask our sales representative for advice. Preparing the substructure Prepare the substructure according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. When using WIELAND alloys please also observe the recommendations given in the relevant instructions for use. Please note: Lead-free biocompatible alloys containing zinc (Zn) should be sandblasted and oxidised and then after the oxide firing they should be pickled in a clean, hot bath of Wilacid (or similar) for approx. 5 minutes. 12 Standard build-up 13 Standard build-up – step by step Incisal Incisal Dentine Opaque Dentine Metal substructure Standard build-up shade chart 14 A1 A2 A3 A3.5 A4 B1 B2 B3 B4 C1 C2 C3 C4 D2 D3 D4 In ci sa l A1 A2 A3 A3.5 A4 B1 B2 B3 B4 C1 C2 C3 C4 D2 D3 D4 1 2 3 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 2 3 4 O pa le A1 A2 A3 A3.5 A4 B1 B2 B3 B4 C1 C2 C3 C4 D2 D3 D4 In ci sa l D en tin e Metal substructure O pa qu e Dentine Sh ad es Incisal 1 2 3 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 2 3 4 Powder Opaque 1st Opaque bake For handling reasons, REFLEX® powder opaque must not be mixed with distilled water. REFLEX® powder opaque liquid ensures that the material stays in place during application. After the substructure has been suitably prepared, the first layer of opaque can be applied. The opaque is supplied as a paste or a powder. To apply the opaque, use the paste brush provided or a suitable powder opaque applicator. The shape and flexibility of the brush are designed to suit the viscosity of paste opaque. Apply a thin layer of opaque evenly (semi-coating) to the coping or bridge framework. Please ensure that this first layer is not too thick. If the paste opaque is applied too thickly, uncontrollable amounts of liquid can evaporate during preheating and cause bubbles to form. Crowns after the 1st opaque bake: The opaque has a smooth and shiny appearance. Then the first opaque bake is carried out. For firing temperatures and times please refer to the firing programmes given at the end of these instructions. 2nd Opaque bake The second step is to apply opaque once more. Here too, it is important for the reasons given above that the opaque is not applied too thickly. Even so, the opaque must completely cover the substructure so as to ensure that the crown is uniform in colour. Please note The opaque should be applied evenly with an applicator or a brush. The consistency should be neither too thick nor too thin. A “wash bake” is not required. Avoid excessive riffling and do not allow thick layers of opaque to coalesce in the occlusal, approximal or marginal areas. Thick layers of opaque can crack during firing. 15 1st Dentine bake Crowns after the build-up of the dentine layer Please note The nanoleucite™ structure of REFLEX® gives the surface an extremely high shine after the 1st and 2nd dentine bakes. Dentine with incisal edges Dentine / incisal build-up after the 1st dentine bake Finished dentine / incisal / build-up 16 2nd Dentine bake After the 1st dentine bake, correct the shape by grinding with a medium grain diamond bur. During this stage, please ensure adequate cooling (using water drops). Then fill in any missing areas in the shape of the crown by an adding a further layer of dentine or incisal materials. Use the same method as described for the 1st dentine bake. The finished crowns after the stain / glaze bake Warning Stains and glazing Do not mix REFLEX® ceramic materials together with any other types of ceramic material. REFLEX® has a unique nanoleuciteTM structure and is not compatible with other ceramics. After the shape has again been trimmed and corrected, REFLEX® stains and/or glaze can be used to give the crown its individual character. Please note Please use only REFLEX® stains and glaze. If other products are used there is a risk of uncontrolled stress in the ceramic causing the restoration to fail through tension or pressure cracks. Please mix stains and glaze only with the stain and glaze liquid supplied. Apply with a conventional staining brush. When firing, follow the recommendations shown in the table. The corrected build-up ready for the 2nd dentine bake Please note Avoid applying too much pressure since this can cause localised overheating. As with all ceramics, excessive grinding causes micro cracks to occur in the ceramic structure and can result in failure through flaking, cracks or fissures. Please note – glaze By modifying the firing temperature and holding time, the degree of glaze can be varied from matt to a high shine to suit individual requirements. Crowns after the 2nd dentine bake 17 REFLEX® Stains The shade palette is a logical and easy to use stain mixing system ■ It enables the dental technician to reproduce all the 75 shades depicted on the palette in a simple and logical way, using the eight colours shown on the angles of the octagon plus white and grey. ■ In addition to the colours shown on the angles, the eight additional most commonly used colours are standard components of the stain set. ■ Using the measures included in the set (small and large measures) together with the mixing chart ensures an exact reproduction of the various shades. ■ Select the size of the measure according to the total volume required.

White – Professional build-up 20 21 Professional build-up – step by step REFLEX® Professional by Christian Ferrari Nature knows no bounds when it comes to the interplay of light, form and colour. Time and time again, nature surprises us with the perfection and harmony of creation. We are faced with the difficult task of imitating this vibrant world with our limited technical means. In order to do justice to this task I need materials which do not restrict my creativity but give me the freedom to imitate nature. With conventional materials we were able to influence three properties of the ceramic layers: chroma, brightness and transparency. With REFLEX® I have a further dimension at my fingertips: depth of colour through contrast. By using the Chromatix™ dentine materials I can control contrasts and achieve unique depth of colour which enables me to imitate the actual play of light found in natural dentition. At this stage a variety of different dentine modifiers and opal materials can be applied in order to obtain the desired effects in the mamelon area. In the incisal area I use Flu Dentin in the areas on which light is to be reflected (on the mamelons). It is important that the light is absorbed between the mamelons as in natural teeth. The next step is to define the external contour of the tooth with Incisal Aquamarin, if required. Then I apply alternate layers of Incisal and Opale materials and build up the final shape with Transpa materials. If necessary, the first firing can be complemented by a correction firing with Transpa materials. REFLEX® enables me to achieve excellent results in my laboratory, even with the most demanding of cases. Professional build-up In addition to the standard threelayer technique, it is also possible to produce an advanced, professional build-up. The following materials are available for this purpose: ■ Chromatix™ ■ Flu Dentine ■ Dentine Modifier ■ Opale Incisal ■ Opale Effect ■ Incisal ■ Incisal Modifier ■ Transpa Neutral ■ Transpa Clear ■ Stain These modifiers can be mixed together in any way you like. The most popular uses of these materials are shown in the watercolour illustration on page 25. To achieve this goal I build up the restoration as follows: After the opaque bakes I apply Chromatix™ Dentin onto the whole substructure, keeping the final shape in mind and characterising certain areas of the dentine core still further by using effect materials (dentine modifiers and opal materials). Then I fire the dentine materials, which I reduce a little in order to make space for the materials that follow. Crowns prepared with professional build-up 22 REFLEX® Chroma Dentine materials Applications ■ Chromatix™ materials are dentine modifiers used to control and individualise chroma and opacity. ■ By increasing opacity the metal framework can be more effectively concealed whilst simultaneously intensifying the chroma (depth of shade), even with relatively thin layers of ceramic. ■ Chromatix™ can be mixed with normal dentine to modify chroma and opacity. Alternatively, it may, if the case requires, be used on its own. Please note The Chromatix™ layer (controlling the chroma) Always use Chromatix™ in conjunction with our X carving liquid. Only then are you assured of maximum brightness, translucency and ideal handling properties. Firing Temperature ■ For firing programmes please follow the recommendations set out in the firing tables for the 1st and 2nd dentine bakes on page 40. You will find the firing temperatures and times at the end of these instructions. 23 The REFLEX® Expert Set (Professional Set) REFLEX® Expert Set Applications ■ The Expert Set offers you even more scope to individualise the features of your restorations. ■ In addition to the Bleach and Gum materials, you have 8 Incisal Modifiers and 4 Opale Effect powders to choose from. ■ Incisal Modifiers and Opale Effect powders are not colour-keyed and may be used on their own or mixed with other materials. ■ They are used to individually enhance internal enamel and opalescence characteristics. ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ Moreover, analogous to the diminishing translucency, the fluorescence of these materials shows a linear increase. This makes them ideal for simultaneously enhancing and regulating the brightness of the veneer in the incisal area. ■ Example 1: Opale Effect Frosty has the highest translucency and opalescence and the lowest fluorescence. ■ Example 2: Opale Effect Snow has the lowest translucency and opalescence and the highest fluorescence. ■ ■ Special characteristics of Opale Effect powders ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ In contrast to the standard Opale Incisals, which are colour-keyed, the Opale Effect materials are characterised by linearly diminishing translucency and opalescence. Incisal Topas Incisal Anthrazit Incisal Amethist Incisal Aquamarin Incisal Citrin Incisal Rubin Incisal Lemon Incisal Melon The individual colour shades and translucency are shown on the enclosed shade guide. Like all REFLEX® shade guides this has colour samples in the original ceramic, which enables you to make an exact colour identification of the individual powders in a wide variety of lighting conditions (incident light and transmitted light).

Designing the substructure Firing temperature ■ ■ The 7 REFLEX Shoulder High (high fusing) materials are baked at a firing temperature of 930 °C with a holding time of 1 minute before the first dentine bake. Shoulder High and Shoulder Correction – share these features ® The 7 REFLEX® Shoulder Correction materials are baked at a firing temperature of 720 °C with a holding time of 1 minute after the glaze bake. ■ Minimal shrinkage during firing ■ High form stability even after repeated dentine and glaze bakes ■ Excellent marginal fit ■ Perfect colour matching ■ Simple control of translucency, fluorescence and reflection ■ REFLEX® SH special shoulder liquid must only be used with Shoulder High material. Applications ■ ■ ■ The Shoulder Correction materials are not only suitable for the fabrication and correction of ceramic shoulders after the glaze bake. Because of their low firing temperature they can also be used for all other corrections such as making minor corrections to the shape or adding contact points. This means that Shoulder Correction can be used to make corrections even after soldering in a furnace. Shoulder High Flu / Shoulder Correction Flu materials can be used to conceal dark areas such as discoloured tooth enamel or discoloration at the edges of crowns, to improve brightness and enhance translucency. Shoulder High Red / Shoulder Correction Red materials can be used to quickly and easily modify the transition between the prepared stump, the ceramic shoulder and the gingiva. In preparation for the attachment of the ceramic shoulder, (labial or circular), the outer edges of the substructure are reduced to the inner rim of the previously prepared step or chamfer. The metal edge resulting from this reduction must then be smoothed out into a thin layer. Finally condition the substructure in the usual way and apply the opaque. Do not use diamond burs. Diamond particles can become deposited in the alloy and cause bubbles when the ceramic is fired. Carving liquids ■ This carving liquid plasticizes the shoulder porcelain and ensures the greatest stability and reliability. This makes it very easy to lift the porcelain shoulder from the model. ■ Use REFLEX® SC Shoulder Correction Liquid with Shoulder Correction porcelain. ■ SH special shoulder liquid must not be used with Shoulder Correction porcelain, as there is no guarantee that firing will remove the liquid reliably and without trace. Well prepared die IsoPen ■ The WIELAND IsoPen is applied to the prepared plaster die. 30 Prepared substructure Preparing the die Before creating the ceramic shoulder the die must be thoroughly insulated using the “WIELAND IsoPen”. Correction layer ready for second bake Shoulder after second bake Second Shoulder High layer Insulating the die with the IsoPen First Shoulder High layer Depending on the tooth colour to be obtained make up Shoulder High porcelain with SH Special Liquid and apply in the cervical region. After modelling and smoothing the ceramic shoulder, dry the shoulder margin carefully with a hand-held dryer until a uniform white colour is obtained. The coping can then be removed and fired. Using a drier and SH Special Shoulder Liquid ensures greater strength and more reliable handling. After firing, check the marginal fit. Correct any changes caused by sintering. Insulate the die once more. Prepare and make up the Shoulder High powder as for the first layer. Next smooth out any unevenness filling the Shoulder powder into the gap created during the first firing, ensuring that the ceramic shoulder is a good fit. Finish off the shoulder and dry. Carefully remove the substructure with the shoulder powder applied from the die and position it on the firing tray. To avoid “baking on” care must be taken to ensure that the ceramic shoulder does not come into contact with the tray. Ceramic shoulder inside view If necessary, the shoulder must be fitted onto the model again after the correction firing. The final stage is to completely veneer the shoulder with REFLEX®.

In the case of large-span bridgework relief cooling (opening the furnace door slowly) may be necessary to avoid thermal tension. With large-span bridge frameworks the geometry (e.g. with solid pontics) may necessitate increasing the end temperatures of the first and second dentine bake by approx. 10 °C. 33 The final result in situ: functional, bio-compatible and modelled to individual aesthetic requirements. 34 35 REFLEX® Gum Dentines Applications ■ ■ With their variety of colours (5 differently shaded powders), the Gum Dentines may be used to accurately reproduce the exact colour of the gingiva. Particularly in the case of ceramic veneers over an implanted superstructure, it is essential to ensure anatomically correct results when repairing abraded soft tissue surfaces. But extractions or periodontal procedures can also lead to soft tissue defects after the healing process is complete. ■ In the interests of both aesthetics and periodontal hygiene, these defects must always be repaired by the dental technician using suitable ceramic materials. ■ With their wide range of colours and excellent handling properties, the Gum Dentines facilitate an anatomically exact and colour-matched reconstruction of the gingiva to meet the demands of both patient and dental practitioner. Procedure and firing temperature ■ Gum materials can be used on their own or mixed with one another. This gives rise to a virtually unlimited range of possible gingival colours. ■ For information on preparation and firing please refer to the recommendations for dentines in the instructions starting on page 16. Veneering with gum dentine 36 REFLEX® Bleach Materials More and more patients wish for perfect, bright, white teeth. With natural teeth, this is achieved through so-called “bleaching” (bleaching of the natural tooth enamel). In order for ceramic veneers to blend harmoniously, they must also be as aesthetically perfect as possible. In the past the build-up procedure for “bleach ceramics” was: White Opaque – White Dentine – Bright Incisal or Transpa. Accordingly, the tooth colour is composed of a virtually unaltered dentine colour and a considerably brightened surface. We already took this into consideration when developing our proven Crystal Bleach Shades. With this new colour and build-up concept, the dental technician is now able to achieve beautifully aesthetic results, whether in restorations with existing “bleached” natural dentition or in the fabrication of complete restorations. However, this build-up technique has significant drawbacks, especially when compared to already “bleached” natural dentition, because the bleaching process starts from the tooth enamel and proceeds inwards and although the enamel is treated, the natural dentine either remains unaffected by the procedure or is affected to a much lesser degree.

Crystal Dentine Pearl has a somewhat higher chroma content than Crystal Dentine Light and is to be classified in the “reddish, brown” range (A colours). Crystal Dentine Crème has the highest chroma content and is in the “reddish, yellow” range (B colours). ■ ■ Crystal Flu Dentine (Bleach Fluorescence Dentine): Compared with the other dentine types, this has the highest brightness value and the strongest fluorescence. May be mixed into the corresponding Crystal Dentine (Light, Pearl or Crème) or used as a modifier to achieve the desired levels of fluorescence and brightness, for instance around the cervical margin of a tooth. Crystal Flue Dentine may be used individually as a modifier. Incisals: These are exclusively Opal Effect materials. Opale Effect Frosty, Ice, Milky and Snow are graded according to their translucency and opalescence. Frosty is the most translucent incisal with a very distinct opalescent effect, followed by Ice, Milky and Snow, with Opale Effect Snow having the least amount of translucency. Opale Effect Milky and Snow may be used as standard incisals without being allocated to any particular incisal. ■ Opale Effect Frosty and Ice may be used individually. They have a distinct opalescent effect and are for particular use at the incisal edge and at the side of the tooth. ■ Incisal Modifier: Crystal Opale Incisal Blue may be used as a standard incisal or also as a modifier where indicated. It has a whitish blue opalescence, similar to that of young teeth. Incisal Aquamarin is used as a modifier for bluish incisal areas. ■ Transpa Materials: There are two materials available with varying degrees of translucency. Transpa Clear, which is very translucent (like glass) and Transpa Neutral, which is somewhat less translucent. Transpa Neutral can also be used to adjust the colour intensity of the ceramic. It must be noted that while the translucency increases according to the amount of Transpa Neutral mixed in, the colour intensity (chroma) is reduced at the same time. 38 ■ Shoulder Powder: A white shoulder powder, Crystal Shoulder High, is available. If a different colour is required for the shoulder, the compatible REFLEX® shoulder powders may be used Crystal Shoulder Correction powder is suitable for creating and correcting ceramic shoulders after glazing. 3-D build-up concept Brightness + Opaque: Controls the colour shade.

With large-span bridge frameworks the geometry (e.g. with solid pontics) may necessitate increasing the end temperatures of the first and second dentine bake by approx. 10 °C. 41 Multimat MC II Multimat C Mach 2 Paste Opaque 1 Paste Opaque 2 Powder Opaque 1 Powder Opaque 2 Shoulder Powder SH Dentine Firing 1 Dentine Firing 2 Glaze Firing Shoulder Powder SC Correction Powder Multimat Touch & Press Paste Opaque 1 Paste Opaque 2 Powder Opaque 1 Powder Opaque 2 Shoulder Powder SH Dentine Firing 1 Dentine Firing 2 Glaze Firing Shoulder Powder SC Correction Powder Vacumat 200 / 250 / 300 Paste Opaque 1 Paste Opaque 2 Powder Opaque 1 Powder Opaque 2 Shoulder Powder SH Dentine Firing 1 Dentine Firing 2 Glaze Firing Shoulder Powder SC Correction Powder ) °C c) e( e r :se ime ) u m ) pe C) Rate ) e c) g g t n i T ec i a n n m c m i i er i (° g in T e e m t t e ea mp ing in: s hea e ( uum in :s ng T in:s ng T ture atin C /m uum ) h c y e Tim ac (m iri (m iri ra e Te He (° Va (% F F V Dr (m Pr Pr 575 575 575 575 575 575 575 575 450 575 5:00 5:00 4:00 4:00 2:00 4:00 3:00 2:00 2:00 2:00 1:00 1:00 1:00 1:00 1:00 2:00 2:00 1:00 1:00 1:00 1:00 1:00 1:00 1:00 1:00 1:00 1:00 0:00 1:00 1:00 4:00 3:00 4:00 3:00 2:00 3:00 2:00 1:0-2:0 2:00 2:00 930 920 930 920 930 900 890 880 720 700 75 75 75 75 75 75 75 75 75 75 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 – 100 100 ) °C c) e( e e r se e- ) te : u m ) g g t n Timec) ime ec) Ra n) mp (°C in era Ti sec tin (mi m e t g i s m T re u n : u ea e ea p ng n: g T n:s g tin /m eh Tem ryi (mi reh Tim acu (%) ea (°C irin ratu acu (mi irin (mi r F V F H V P D P 575 575 575 575 575 575 575 575 450 575 5:00 5:00 4:00 4:00 2:00 4:00 4:00 2:00 2:00 2:00 1:00 1:00 1:00 1:00 1:00 2:00 1:00 1:00 1:00 1:00 75 75 75 75 75 75 75 75 75 75 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 – 100 100 930 920 930 920 930 900 890 880 720 700 1:00 1:00 1:00 1:00 1:00 1:00 1:00 – 1:00 1:00 4:00 3:00 4:00 3:00 2:00 3:00 2:00 1:0-2:0 2:00 2:00 ) e °C ur e e ( erat e e e r u Tim ) im c) im c) im c) T T T at mp g c y r m :se -b pe Te yin :se up :se ng :se nd em nal °C) redr min eat- min oldi min acuu min a i t ( ( ( ( ( T V H H P F S 450 450 575 575 575 575 575 575 450 575 930 920 930 920 930 900 890 880 720 700 6:00 6:00 5:00 5:00 4:00 7:00 5:00 4:00 4:00 4:00 6:00 6:00 6:00 6:00 6:00 6:00 6:00 3:00 6:00 3:00 3:00 2:00 3:00 2:00 1:00 2:00 1:00 1:00 1:00 1:00 6:00 6:00 6:00 6:00 6:00 6:00 6:00 0:00 6:00 3:00 Warning Firing temperatures are given for guidance only.

Cause Remedy ■ The preheating temperature is too high. ■ Reduce the preheating temperature. ■ The firing temperature is too low. ■ Increase the firing temperature. ■ The vacuum pump starts too late. ■ Reduce preheating temperature and/or vacuum start temperature. ■ The vacuum level reached is too low. ■ Check that the vacuum pump and furnace seals are intact. ■ Increase the end temperature and/or the holding time. ■ Increase the end temperature and / or holding time. ■ Reduce the end temperature. ■ Avoid sharp angles and edges in the substructure. ■ The ceramic surface is not smooth or is too rough. ■ The end temperature is too low and/ or the holding time is too short. ■ The ceramic surface is not shiny enough. ■ The end temperature is too low and/ or the holding time is too short. ■ The edges and contours become rounded. ■ The end temperature is too high. ■ Flaking / cracking ■ Sharp angles and edges in the substructure. ■ Incorrect substructure design. ■ Check the design of the substructure. ■ Veneering ceramic underfired. ■ Increase the end temperature. ■ Compression cracking: horizontal cracks in the incisal area or on pontics. ■ CTE of the alloy is too high. ■ Veneer only alloys with a CTE in the range 13.8 – 15.1x10-6K-1 (25 – 500 °C). ■ Tension cracking: fine, non-directional cracks over the whole surface of the veneer. ■ CTE of the alloy is too low. ■ Veneer only alloys with a CTE in the range 13.8 – 15.1x10-6K-1 (25 – 500 °C). Be sure to fire without a cooling phase. Warning Inhaling ceramic dust can be harmful to the lungs. Ceramic powders must therefore be stored in tightly sealed containers and used in accordance with the instructions provided. When grinding the fired ceramic to its final shape, always wear a mask with a P1 filter or use an approved, fully operational work bench extraction unit.
