Preparing for Combination firing (Crystallization and Stain/Glaze firing in one step)
– Clean the ceramic structure with the steam jet to remove any contaminations and grease residue. Any contamination
after cleaning must be prevented.
– Use the IPS e.max CAD Crystallization Pin XS for the crystallization of the ceramic structure.
– Fill the interface of the ceramic structure with either IPS Object Fix Putty or Flow auxiliary firing paste. Immediately
reseal the IPS Object Fix Putty/Flow syringe after extruding the material.
– Press the IPS e.max CAD Crystallization Pin XS only slightly into the IPS Object Fix Putty/Flow. Important: Do not
press the pin in too deep to make sure that it does not touch the walls. This may lead to cracks in the ceramic
structure.
– Smooth out displaced auxiliary firing paste using a plastic spatula so that the pin is securely in place.
– Prevent contamination of the outer surface / occlusal surface of the ceramic structure.
– Clean off any possible contamination with a brush dampened with water and dry.
The IPS e.max CAD Crystallization Pin XS is used for the crystallization of the ceramic
structure.
Important: – The IPS e.max CAD Crystallization Pin XS should be pressed
only slightly into the IPS Object Fix Putty/Flow so that it does not touch the walls of
the ceramic structure.
Displaced auxiliary firing paste is smoothed out with a plastic spatula from the margin
towards the support pin so that the pin is secured in the paste.
The interface of the ceramic structure is filled with either IPS Object Fix Putty or Flow
auxiliary firing paste.
Incorrect: Pin pressed in too deep. Pin touches the ceramic structure,
which may lead to cracks.
Any possible residue adhering to the outer surface/occlusal surface is cleaned off with
a brush dampened with water and dried.
