Stain and Characterization Firing
Before the Stain and Characterization firing, the restoration must be free of dirt and grease. Any contamination after
cleaning must be prevented.
The following procedure is recommended for finishing pressed-over Straumann Anatomic IPS e.max Abutments:
– For better wetting behaviour, the surface of IPS e.max ZirPress may be wetted with a small quantity of IPS e.max Ceram
Glaze and Stain Liquid.
– Mix the paste or powder with the IPS e.max Ceram Glaze and Stain Liquids allround or longlife to the desired
consistency.
– More intensive shades are achieved by several staining procedures and repeated firing, not by applying thicker layers.
– To imitate the incisal area and translucency in the incisal third, IPS e.max Ceram Shade Incisal may be used.
– The cusps and fissures can be individualized using Essence.
– Conduct the Stain and Characterization firing using the indicated firing parameters.
Coat the surface with a small amount of the IPS e.max Ceram Glaze and Stain Liquid to
enhance the wettability of the surface. Apply IPS e.max Ceram Shade Incisal to imitate the
incisal area. Conduct the Stain and Characterization firing on a honey-combed tray using the stipulated
firing parameters.
