Check the restoration on the model. The fired emergence profile must rest flush against the
"gingiva" without exerting pressure. Finish the layered areas with fine-grain diamonds and rubber polishers.
Finishing and preparing for the Stain and Glaze firing
Before the Stain and Glaze firing, the abutment has to be finished as follows:
– Check the restoration on the model. Check the proximal and occlusal contact points.
– Secure the abutment on the polishing aid for finishing.
– Finish the veneered abutments with fine-grain diamonds and rubber polishers to obtain a true-to-nature shape and
surface structure, such as growth lines and convex/concave areas.
– Areas which should exhibit a higher gloss after Glaze firing can be smoothed out and prepolished using silicone disks.
– Prepolish the transition area between the veneer and the abutment rubber polishers so that a very smooth transition is
achieved.
– If gold and/or silver dust was used to design the surface texture, the restoration has to be thoroughly cleaned with
steam. Make sure to remove all gold or silver dust in order to avoid any discolouration after firing.
