IPS
e.max Ceram – G I N G I V A ®
IPS e.max Ceram Gingiva layering materials can be used to create a lifelike gingiva, particularly for implant superstructures. The materials are applied together with the Dentin and Incisal materials and fired. A total of 13 ceramic materials are available for fabricating the gingival portions. For determining the gingival characteristics a shade guide which shows the different Gingiva materials after firing is available.

Note: As with the tooth-shaded layering materials, gingival portions made of IPS e.max Ceram have to be adequately supported by a respective zirconium oxide framework. Please observe the following procedure: – Before layering, apply IPS Model Sealer on the model and allow it to dry. After that, isolate the corresponding areas using IPS Ceramic Separating Liquid. – For frameworks made of zirconium oxide, the IPS e.max Ceram ZirLiner Gingiva or a tooth-shaded ZirLiner has to be fired on the gingival areas. (application of ZirLiner see page 32/observe the firing parameters). – The ZirLiner Gingiva is applied together with the tooth-shaded ZirLiner and fired. – Mix the required IPS e.max Ceram layering materials (e.g. Dentin, Deep Dentin, Incisal, Gingiva) with the Build-Up Liquids allround or soft. If another consistency is desired, the liquids may also be mixed with each other at any mixing ratio. – Underlay the pontic areas of bridges with Deep Dentin in the next lighter shade. – Place the framework on the model and make sure it is correctly positioned. – Layer tooth-shaded areas of the restoration according to the layering diagram. – Depending on the restoration size and extension of the gingival portions, the Gingiva materials can be applied with the first or second Dentin/Incisal firing. – Use the Gingiva materials to create the basal rest of the restoration on the “natural” gums. In order to ensure proper oral hygiene of the inserted restorations, observe a homogeneous basal area free of pores and a correct shape. – Apply the vestibular and oral portions of the gingiva. – Do not apply excessive suction and prevent the restoration from drying out. – Before firing, all the interdental areas must be separated down to the framework using a scalpel. – Position the restoration on the firing tray and fire it according to the firing parameters for Dentin/Incisal firing. – If required, an additional Dentin/Incisal firing can be conducted. Moreover, the gingival portions can be adjusted.
