Polymerization times for Vita VM LC:
In order to achieve hardening appropriate for the material involved, the object to be polymerized
on the 40 mm special rings on the slide has to be placed in the center of the turntable within the
light cone of the halogen lamp. Make sure combined dentures with a plaster model get polyme-
rized from all sides and do not exceed the turntable’s inner radius of 6 cm.
Once a layer thickness of 2 mm has been obtained, a final polymerization has to be carried
out.
