Fusion Process
The fusion process must be completed quickly in order to prevent a permature drying of the IPS e.max CAD
Crystall./Connect fusion glass-ceramic. The amount of IPS e.max CAD Crystall./Connect contained in one capsule is
sufficient for a 4-unit bridge. Please observe the following procedure for the fusion process:
– Place the open capsule on the finger clip and put on the finger clip.
– Place some IPS e.max CAD Crystall./Connect on the occlusal aspect of the IPS e.max ZirCAD framework in order to avoid
hollow spaces in the fusion area. Evenly distribute the IPS e.max CAD Crystall./Connect material by vibrating it for a
short time with the Ivomix.
– Remove small amounts of IPS e.max CAD Crystall./Connect with the IPS Spatula and distribute it on all inner aspects of
the IPS e.max CAD veneering structure.
– Hold occlusal surface of the IPS e.max CAD veneering structure against the vibrating plate of Ivomix for a short time so
that the IPS e.max CAD Crystall./Connect material is evenly distributed.
– Insert the IPS e.max ZirCAD framework in the correct position into the IPS e.max CAD veneering structure.
– Hold the occlusal surface of the restoration against the vibrating plate of the Ivomix. At the same time, apply slight
pressure against the IPS e.max ZirCAD framework, e.g. by means of the IPS Spatula, in order to evenly insert it into the
IPS e.max CAD veneering structure.
– When joining the IPS e.max ZirCAD framework and the IPS e.max CAD veneering structure, the IPS e.max
CAD Crystall./Connect material must be evenly squeezed out of the entire circular fusion joint. If no fusion
glass-ceramic is being squeezed out in some places, an insufficient amount of material has been applied to
the IPS e.max CAD veneering structure, and the entire procedure must be repeated with a new capsule.
Separate and clean the IPS e.max ZirCAD framework and the IPS e.max CAD veneering structure under run-
ning water before repeating the procedure.
– The IPS e.max CAD veneering structure is in the correct position when it sits flush on the collar of the IPS e.max ZirCAD
framework.
– Important: Hold the restoration against the vibrating plate of the Ivomix only until the IPS e.max ZirCAD framework
and the IPS e.max CAD veneering structure are in the correct position to one another. A longer vibrating process may
result in too much IPS e.max CAD Crystall./Connect material escaping.
– Switch off the Ivomix.
– The IPS e.max ZirCAD framework and the IPS e.max CAD veneering structure are in a firm position when the restoration
is no longer being vibrated.
