Stain and Glaze firing
Stain firing is conducted with Essence or Shade material, while Glaze firing is carried out with Glaze powder. Depending on
the situation, the firings may be conducted together or separately. The firing parameters are identical. The restoration must
be free of dirt and grease. Avoid any contamination of the restoration after cleaning with ultrasound in the water bath or
with the steam jet. With this firing, final adjustments of the shoulder and contact points are also possible. Observe the
following procedure:
– To promote wetting of the Stains and Glaze materials, IPS e.max Ceram Glaze and Stain Liquid can be lightly painted
onto the surface.
– Mix the paste or powder with the IPS e.max Ceram Glaze and Stain Liquid (allround or longlife) until the desired
consistency is reached.
– More intensive shades are achieved by repeated staining (1–3 firings), rather than by applying thicker layers.
– Individually characterize cusps and fissures using Essence materials.
– If shade modifications are required, Shades can be used.
– Use Glaze material in powder or paste form.
– Apply Glaze material in an even layer on the entire restoration.
– Make any adjustment of the shoulder using Add-On Margin.
– Adjustments of contact points are carried out with a 1:1 mixture of e.g. Incisal and Add-On Incisal.
– Polish the supplemented areas to a high gloss using silicone polishers.
