Note: As with the tooth-shaded layering materials, gingival portions made of IPS e.max Ceram have to be
adequately supported by a respective zirconium oxide framework.
Please observe the following procedure:
– Before layering, apply IPS Model Sealer on the model and allow it to dry. After that, isolate the corresponding areas
using IPS Ceramic Separating Liquid.
– For frameworks made of zirconium oxide, the IPS e.max Ceram ZirLiner Gingiva or a tooth-shaded ZirLiner has to be
fired on the gingival areas (application of ZirLiner see page 20/observe the firing parameters).
– The ZirLiner Gingiva is applied together with the tooth-shaded ZirLiner and fired.
– Mix the required IPS e.max Ceram layering materials (e.g. Dentin, Deep Dentin, Incisal, Gingiva) with the Build-Up
Liquids allround or soft. If another consistency is desired, the liquids may also be mixed with each other at any mixing
ratio.
– Use distilled water to rewet the layering materials on the mixing pad to avoid accumulation of organic components.
– Underlay the pontic areas of bridges with Deep Dentin in the next lighter shade.
– Place the framework on the model and make sure it is correctly positioned.
– Layer tooth-shaded areas of the restoration according to the layering diagram.
– Depending on the restoration size and extension of the gingival portions, the Gingiva materials can be applied with the
first or second Dentin/Incisal firing.
– Use the Gingiva materials to create the basal rest of the restoration on the “natural” gums. In order to ensure proper
oral hygiene of the inserted restorations, observe a homogeneous basal area free of pores and a correct shape.
– Apply the vestibular and oral portions of the gingiva.
– Do not apply excessive suction and prevent the restoration from drying out.
– Before firing, all the interdental areas must be separated down to the framework using a scalpel.
– Position the restoration on the firing tray and fire it according to the firing parameters for Dentin/Incisal firing.
– If required, an additional Dentin/Incisal firing can be conducted. Moreover, the gingival portions can be adjusted.

Technique
IPS e.max Ceram Gingiva layering materials can be used to create a lifelike gingiva, particularly for
implant superstructures. The materials are applied together with the Dentin and Incisal materials
and fired.
A total of 13 ceramic materials are available for fabricating the gingival portions. For determining the
gingival characteristics a shade guide which shows the different Gingiva materials after firing is available.
