Optional: Polishing the emergence profile of the abutment
If no characterizations and no glaze firing of the abutment are required, the emergence profile may be
manually polished. Please remember that polishing results in a slight reduction of the emergence profile,
which might influence the fit to the gingiva in certain situations.
Please observe the following procedure for polishing:
– Clean the pressed object with a steam cleaner to remove any contaminations.
– Place the pressed object onto the Ti base for processing.
– Overheating of the glass-ceramic must be avoided. Observe the recommendations of the manufacturer of the grinding
tool.
– Pre-polish the emergence profile with a diamond-coated rubber polisher. Note: The Ti base should not be modified.
– Fine polishing of the emergence profile with a high-gloss rubber polisher.
– High-gloss polishing with brushes and polishing paste.
– Clean the abutment with an ultrasonic or steam cleaner.
