You cannot use ZrPro® Ceram Stains & Glaze on metal restorations as the CTE has been designed perfectly for PFZ cases. This specificity ensures that there is no separation of ceramic and stain layers, and a perfect bond is ensured.

The glaze firing can be performed without the use of Glaze materials. Although, the advantage of using Glaze materials is that the technician can control the desired level of glaze in a restoration and can be achieved more efficiently. The difference in the final look that a natural glaze of the fired ceramic has, is…

Lack of a gloss effect can be caused by having too low of a firing temperature, a contaminated and unclear surface after carving & contouring, or a condensed glaze layer. Avoid this by firing at a suitable temperature, cleaning the ceramic surface before glaze application and firing, apply an appropriate layer of glaze. Contrary, too…

One of the benefits of using ZrPro® Ceram is having reliable shade reproduction with a 99.5% shade accuracy! To achieve proper colour, you must ensure to prevent the furnace being contaminated by volatile materials. To clear a furnace of any volatile materials, raise the furnace temperature from 650°C to 960°C and hold for 10 minutes…

Elegant Dent ceramics contain leucite and most of the time ceramic cracks during this process occur because a conventional leucite-free ceramic which are available on the market was used. Thanks to the inclusion of leucite crystals this will be avoided in Elegant Dent if firing parameters are adhered to and complete crystal formation occurs, cracks…

Avoid contamination of the coping. Chips in the ceramic may occur when there is no bonding layer. Ensure the framework is designed appropriately and provides support for the ceramic. Ensure to apply a thin layer of dentine as a bonding agent as ZrPro® Ceram does not require the use of a Liner layer. The CTE…

Refer to our recommended firing parameters for ZrPro® Ceram as an approximation for all furnaces. Firstly, it must be checked that the furnace corresponds to factory calibration settings. We recommend preparing and firing samples according to our parameters, then adjusting as necessary. Position the sample on the firing tray at the same height and distance…

It is recommended to use ceramic pins in order to avoid possible contamination through metal or metal oxides.

In cases where the zirconia requires sandblasting, we recommend using a pressure that is as low as possible to avoid damaging the sintered surfaces of the zirconium oxide.

ZrPro® Ceram does not require the use of a Liner material. Instead we recommend to apply a thin layer of Dentine on the coping surface before heat treatment, which acts as the bonding layer.
