Fixation
Conventional cementation:
Due to the high strength and stability of Ceramill Zolid Preshades
frames, conventional fixation with zinc-oxide phosphate cement or
glass ionomer cement (e.g., GC Fuji Plus) is possible in most cases.
▷
When applying conventional cementation, observe sufficient reten-
tion and a minimum abutment height of 3 mm!
Adhesive fixation:
For adhesive fixation, we recommend the bonding composite Pana-
via
®
21 or Panavia
®
F 2.0, owing to the excellent bond strength with
the zirconium-oxide frame material.
Provisional cementation is not recommended, as the frames can be
subject to damage upon removal.
Post-processing at the dentist's
When grinding is required by the dentist while installing the work into
the patient's mouth, the units must be well re-polished to a high gloss.
For grinding, we recommend using only diamond grinding points (rec-
ommended grain approx. 40
μ
m). For polishing, we recommend using
the Amann Girrbach diamond polishing bits (please also refer to the
processing instructions of the polishing kit).
NOTE:
When the work is not sufficiently polished, the antagonist may
become damaged due to abrasion!
