Glaze­firing­­­

Glaze firing is conducted with powder or paste glaze. On abutments, only the emergence profile is glazed. 
Glaze firing may also take place at a later stage, i.e. when the crown is glazed. On abutment crowns, glaze 
is applied to the entire outer surface. 

The following procedure is recommended:
–  Mix the glazing material (IPS e.max Ceram Glaze Paste or Powder) with the IPS e.max Ceram Glaze and Stain Liquids  

allround or longlife to the desired consistency.

–  Apply an even layer of glazing material covering all areas that are to be glazed.
–  If required, the fluorescence may be increased by applying a fluorescing glazing materal (paste or powder).
–  Important: Make sure that absolutely no materials are applied to the screw channel and the interface to the Ti base in 

order not to compromise the fit.

–  Make sure that no glaze material is present on the interface of abutments and abutment crowns prior to the firing cycle. 

If necessary, carefully remove the glaze material.

–  Conduct the Glaze firing on a honey-comb firing tray using the stipulated firing parameters. Please observe the special 

firing parameters.

–  Remove restoration from the furnace after completion of the firing cycle (wait for the acoustic signal of the furnace).
–  Allow the objects to cool to room temperature in a place protected from draft.
–  Do not touch the hot objects with metal tongs.
–  If adjustments are required after Glaze firing (e.g. contact points), they may be applied using IPS e.max Ceram Add-on 

(see page 28).

Apply an even layer of glaze material to the emergence profile of the abutment. Make

sure that no glaze material enters the screw channel.

Make sure that no glaze material is present on the interface of abutments and

abutment crowns prior to the firing cycle. If necessary, carefully remove the glaze

material.

Apply the glazing material evenly on the outer surface of the abutment crown. Make

sure that no glaze material enters the screw channel.

Conduct the Glaze firing on a honey-comb firing tray with the corresponding

parameters.
