Important processing
restrictions
– Mixing with other metal-ceramic powders (e.g.
IPS Classic ® , IPS InLine ® )
– Mixing with metal-free veneering ceramic powders (e.g.
IPS Empress ® , IPS e.max ® )
– Use of liquids or separating agents other than the ones
provided with the IPS d.SIGN assortments.
– Mixing of IPS d.SIGN materials in powder form (e.g.
Dentin, Incisal, etc.) with
IPS d.SIGN paste materials (e.g. Shades, Stains).
– Firing of IPS d.SIGN onto incompatible alloys
Important note
– Ceramic furnaces of other manufacturers often feature
opening mechanisms different from that of Ivoclar
Vivadent
furnaces. Therefore, the firing conditions may also differ.
Make sure to take these varying firing conditions into
account when working with IPS d.SIGN.
Warning
– Finishing ceramic restorations results in grinding dust.
Avoid inhalation. Use
suction equipment or protective masks.
