One material.Many benefits.DuceramPlus metal ceramics is a no-compromisesuccessor to Duceram metal ceramicsproven clinically and aesthetically in the dentallaboratory since 1985.When working with DuceramPlus, you can relyon components that combine in perfect har -mony and are easy to handle. DuceramPlus isoffered in convenient sets designed for individualrequirements or as single components.Advantages• Problem-free application to all high-fusingalloys with CTE values between 13.8 and15.4 µm/m · K thanks to its linear thermalexpansion curve• Excellent aesthetics in translucency,opalescence and fluorescence• Combines with phosphate-bonded diematerials (Ducera Lay) for the fabricationof all-ceramic inlays• Stable shades even in combination with lowpricehigh-silver alloys• High stability in layering, easy to model andeasy to sculpt• Low firing shrinkage• Smooth, homogenous surface• Exceeds current ISO standards• Harmonized shade matching• Natural white fluorescence in powder andpaste opaques• Consistently high quality across batchesthanks to continuous quality checks• Flexible, controllable opaque temperatures(e.g. reducing firing temperatures by usingthe neutral)Introduction5

General firing instructionsGeneral firinginstructionsBefore firing your first DuceramPlusobject, please note our general firinginstructions:• On completed pre-drying/pre-heating, fullvacuum must be applied at baseline temperature.This helps avoid microporosities thatwould adversely affect transparency.• For alloys with a CTE of > 14.2 µ/m · K(25–600 °C), we recommend slow cooling ora tempering phase of 3–5 min at 850 °C.* Important note:The SMH shoulder materialhas been renamedDuceramPlus Margin.• Gaseous enclosures in the ceramic massresult in clouding, with colours appearingpaler and brighter.• Since the firing performance of individualceramic furnaces varies widely, firing temperaturesmay have to be adjusted to thespecific device on hand.General Pre- Drying Heating Firing Holding Vacuum Extendedfiring program heating rate cooling°C min °C/min °C min hPa1st paste opaque firing 575 6:00 55 930 3:00 50 –2nd paste opaque firing 575 6:00 55 930 2:00 50 –1st powder opaque firing 600 2:00 55 930 3:00 50 –2nd powder opaque firing 600 4:00 55 930 2:00 50 –Margin firing* 600 6:00–9:00 55 920 1:00 50 –1st dentine firing 600 6:00–9:00 55 910 1:00 50 –2nd dentine firing 600 4:00–6:00 55 900 1:00 50 –Glaze firing 600 4:00 55 890 1:00–3:00 – –Correction firing 600 4:00 55 880 1:00 50 –6 Processing

Wachsaustreiben/VorwärmenSchmelzen und GießenPreparationsFramework preparationPreparation and oxidationAfter finishing, unless otherwise recommendedby the alloy manufacturer, sandblast the metalframeworks with alumina (100–150 µm) at apressure of 2 bars (non-precious alloys: up to4 bars).Oxidize the finished metal frameworks accord ingto manufacturer’s recommendations. Unlessotherwise recommended, the oxide shouldsubsequently be removed as described above.Finishing the alloyRemoving the oxide by sandblastingProcessing7

Application of opaquesPowder opaqueApplying opaqueMix opaque powder to a creamy consistencywith O or OL modelling liquid. Use a brush or glassinstrument to apply the opaque to the metalframe. The framework should be well covered.Fire according to firing recommendations.Paste opaqueUse the enclosed paste opaque brush to apply athin but even layer of DuceramPlus paste opaqueto the dry framework. The surface should becovered completely. The texture of the pasteopaque is controlled by the paste liquid. Due tothe organic particles contained in the paste, pasteopaque takes longer to dry, requiring a longer predryingtime and a basic temperature specific tothe furnace used.
