Coat the inner surfaces of the ceramic restoration with IPS Natural Die Material Separator and allow it to react for a short time.
Completely fill the restoration cavity and insert an IPS Die Holder into the material and adapt excess material around the holder. Then, polymerize with a commercial polymerization light.
The anatomical, functionally waxed-up restoration is accurately reproduced in ceramic.
Apply surface structures with suitable grinders..
Fabricating the die using IPS Natural Die Material
The light-curing IPS Natural Die Material simulates the shade of the prepared tooth. A control die is fabricated using the
selected shade. This control die represents the optimum basis for a true-to-nature shade reproduction of the given oral
situation.
– Coat the inner surfaces of the ceramic restorations with IPS Natural Die Material Separator and allow it to react for a
short time.
– Apply the IPS Natural Die Material in the corresponding shade to the inner surfaces of the restoration using the
IPS Condenser and adapt so that the entire inner surface is coated and filled.
– Completely fill the restoration cavity and insert an IPS Die Holder into the material and adapt excess material around the
holder. Make sure that the Die Material is well adapted to the restoration margins and that no gaps are present.
– Polymerize the IPS Natural Die Material die with a commercial polymerization light, e.g. Lumamat 100, for 60 seconds.
– After polymerization, the die can be finished and smoothed, if required.
