Note: The data on baking procedures and temperatures represent approximate values. Deviations depend greatly on the type and power of the oven, the location of the temperature sensor, the firing tray and the size of the workpiece. We recommend that you calibrate your oven as follows before using it with Lava Ceram: Program the oven for dentin baking Mix Lava Ceram Clear and model it in the approximate shape of the colour chip on the shade guide (Important: Respect the shape and thickness) Bake the test chip in accordance with the First dentin and enamel baking instructions After it has cooled off, compare the test chip s translucency and colour to the colour chip on the shade guide If the baked test chip matches the colour chip on the shade guide (middle), then you can continue working without making any adjustments (left: overbaked; right: underbaked). If you notice any deviations, then the baking program must be adapted. If the ceramic becomes too porous, opaque or rough, increase the baking temperature and/or decrease the preheat and vacuum start temperature, or check the vacuum pump and the oven for airtightness. If the ceramic is too pale and glassy, decrease the preheat temperature or the baking temperature.
