10. Measure, mark and cut 2 strips of the desired shade of FibreKor 4K material to the same length (Fig 7). A single strip of 16K
material may be used here in place of the two 4K strips if space permits.
11. Neatly stack the two strips of 4K material and flatten together.
12. Place the assembled strip across the length of the preparation and on top of the 16K bundle as shown. (Fig 8)
13. Gently press and form the FibreKor strips across the bar that has been formed to ensure contact between all layers of FibreKor and
Sculpture Plus material.
14. Carefully shape and adapt the FibreKor material across the pontic span using tweezers as shown (Fig 9). Work the material as
needed to remove any voids between layers. Do not cure.
15. Ensure that the height of the bar in the proximal span is not higher than the occlusal table of either abutment.
16. Bend the formed bar across the pontic span to attain the proper occlusal plane using the opposing cast as necessary (Fig 10). Ensure
that the framework is not touching any area of soft tissue. Do not cure.
17. Add small amounts of Sculpture Plus Body or Incisal material to the corners of the occlusal table on both abutments. This will help
to keep the FibreKor material in place as it is positioned around the abutments. (Fig 11)
18. Cure in the Sculpture Curing Light using the Build-Up cycle. (Fig 12). Do not cure FibreKor frameworks using the Sculpture Curing Light
Final cycle.
