Press Accessories:
The light-curing IPS Natural Die Material simulates the shade of the prepared tooth and thus represents the optimum basis for natural shade reproduction of the given oral situation when fabricating all-ceramic restorations.
Silicone rings in three sizes are available for the investment of IPS Empress and IPS e.max restorations. They can be re-used several times and can easily be cleaned under running water
The IPS Investment Ring System is available in two sizes. It is composed of a ring gauge and a ring base and is used to sprue the contoured restorations. The 100 g and 200 g investment rings are used for IPS e.max Press, ZirPress and InLine PoM; the 300 g investment ring is used only for IPS ZirPress and IPS InLine PoM.
The ceramic ingot is pressed in its softened state into the hollow space in the investment ring by means of the IPS Alox plunger. Due to its diameter, it is exclusively suitable for the IPS Investment Ring System.
The IPS Alox Plunger Separator prevents the ingot from sticking to the Alox plunger during pressing and cooling in the investment ring.
The IPS e.max Press Invex Liquid is used to soften the surface reaction layer formed on pressed IPS e.max Press and ZirPress frameworks during the pressing procedure.
IPS Object Fix Flow and Putty are auxiliary firing pastes with different viscosities to support all-ceramic restorations during firing and crystallization. The pastes are used to stabilize and secure the restorations on the silicon nitride support pins or directly on the silicon nitride firing tray. They can be easily applied and later removed after the firing procedure.
IPS Object Fix Putty Single Dose: new delivery form, practical and predosed!
The IPS Ingot Tongs are used to simultaneously place several IPS e.max ZirPress or IPS InLine ingots in the 300 g investment ring.
Two investment materials are available for investing IPS e.max Press/ZirPress restorations:
IPS PressVEST Speed is a phosphate-bonded investment material for the rapid heating method. The quick-heating investment material provides high-quality, accurately fitting press results within a short period of time.
IPS PressVEST is a phosphate-bonded investment material for the conventional heating method. It results in accurately fitting press results.
