Firing parameters for IPS e.max Press Abutment Solutions
– Use a honey-comb tray and the corresponding pins for firing.
– Do not use ceramic pins.
– The stipulated parameters are coordinated with Ivoclar Vivadent furnaces (tolerance range +/- 10 °C/18 °F).
– If furnaces other than those from Ivoclar Vivadent are used, temperature adjustments may be necessary.
– Remove IPS e.max Press objects 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.
– Do not blast or quench the objects.
Note regarding the firing parameters for IPS e.max Press Abutment Solutions:
Given the geometry of hybrid abutments and hybrid abutment crowns, the layer thicknesses of the pressed object may vary
considerably. When the objects cool after the firing cycle, the different cooling speeds in the areas with different thicknesses
may result in internal tensions. In the worst case, these tensions may result in fractures in the pressed ceramic objects. By
using slow cooling (long-term cooling (L)), these tensile stresses can be minimized.
Note:
Please read the notes of the manufacturer of the ceramic furnace for more details on the programming of the long-term
cooling (L). If the layer thickness is less than 2 mm on the entire pressed object, long-term cooling (L) is not required.
