Create a natural shape and surface structure with finishing diamonds.
Finished restoration ready for stain and glaze firing.
Finishing and preparation for the Stain and Glaze firing
The restoration must be finished and polished as follows before the stain and glaze firing:
– Use finishing diamonds to achieve a natural shape and surface structure of the restoration, such as growth lines,
convex/concave areas.
– Areas that should demonstrate a stronger gloss after glaze firing (e.g. pontic rests) can be smoothed and prepolished
using silicone wheels.
– If gold or silver dust is used for the surface design, the restoration must be thoroughly cleaned with the steam jet. Make
sure that any gold or silver dust is entirely removed in order to prevent discolouration after firing.
