Introduction
Held at our training facilities in Leicester, the focus of this course is IPS e.max Ceram, the nano fluorapatite glass ceramic, which is the main component of the IPS e.max system. With this in mind the majority of this course is devoted to layering techniques in conjunction with both pre pressed frameworks.
Overview
The initial section of programme covers the preparation of the pre pressed frameworks and during the first morning, demonstration of the sprueing, investing and pressing will take place. Further demonstrations will cover use of IPS e.max CAD/ZirCAD and ZirPress. Each participant will have an opportunity to wax and press a fully anatomical molar.
The training program will cover in detail initial characterisation and more advanced techniques with which to layer the pressed frameworks. Furthermore, staining and glazing of fully anatomical pressings will be included. The course concludes with techniques used for achieving natural looking surface texture via glazing and polishing.
Suitable for both less experienced ceramists and those more experienced, this course provides the perfect introduction to the IPS e.max system.
