After staining, the stain and characterization firing is conducted in a compatible ceramic furnace (e.g. P500). The following
points should be observed when placing the restoration in the furnace and setting the firing parameters:
– Place veneers as well as anterior and posterior crowns on metal pins and position them on the honey-comb firing tray.
– To better secure the restoration on the metal pins (particularly with veneers), a small amount IPS Object Fix may also be
used.

Shade check
To check the tooth shade after the first stain and characterization firing,
proceed as follows:
– Wet inner aspects of the restoration with IPS Contour Glaze and Stain
Liquid using a brush.
– Place the restoration on the individual control die and check the tooth
shade, as well as the individualized effects.
– If adjustments are required, apply the corresponding stains and fire
them using the above firing program.
Shade check. If necessary, the shade intensity can be increased
by additional staining.
