The interface of the ceramic structure is slightly overfilled with IPS Object Fix Putty
or Flow. Then the ceramic structure is placed in the centre on the IPS e.max CAD
Crystallization Tray.
The ceramic structure is removed from the IPS e.max CAD Crystallization Tray.
The crystallization tray is removed from the furnace once the crystallization program
has been completed and the object is allowed to cool
Residue is removed with ultrasound in a water bath….

Crystallization
The following steps must be observed:
– Clean the ceramic structure to remove any contaminations and grease residue. Any contamination after cleaning must be
prevented.
– Slightly overfill the interface of the ceramic structure with IPS Object Fix Putty or Flow.
Immediately reseal the IPS Object Fix Putty/Flow syringe after extruding the material.
– Place the ceramic structure in the centre of the IPS e.max CAD Crystallization Tray.
– Remove ceramic structure from the furnace after completion of the firing cycle (wait for the acoustic signal of the-
furnace).
– Allow the objects to cool to room temperature in a place protected from draft.
– Do not touch the hot objects with metal tongs.
– Remove the ceramic structure from the IPS e.max CAD Crystallization Tray.
– Remove any residue with ultrasound in a water bath and/or with steam.
– Do not remove residue with Al

or glass polishing beads.
– Place the ceramic structure on the Ti base and check the fit.
– If adjustments by grinding of the restoration are required, make sure that no overheating of the ceramic
occurs.
Important
– Conduct the crystallization on the IPS e.max CAD Crystallization Tray using the stipulated firing
parameters.
Observe the firing parameters for IPS e.max CAD MO and IPS e.max CAD LT. Firing parameters

Note:
If a restoration made of IPS e.max CAD MO and one made of IPS e.max CAD LT are to be crystallized in the same
firing, the firing parameters for IPS e.max CAD MO must be used.
