Subject: In-depth analysis and standard operating procedures for the Ivoclar Programat P95 furnace.
4.3 Glazing / Staining
- Temperature: 750°C – 850°C.
- Vacuum: Partial (300 mbar) for glaze smoothness.
remains a legendary "workhorse" in the industry. Known for its reliability and straightforward design, this furnace is still widely used for firing dental ceramics. Ivoclar Programat P95 Manual
Muffle Cleaning: Periodically run a cleaning program (firing at high heat without vacuum) to remove contaminants. Temperature: 750°C – 850°C
Typical Workflow in a Dental Lab
- Prepare restoration (e.g., zirconia frameworks) and place in furnace tray.
- Select material-specific program or load a stored custom cycle.
- Start cycle; furnace locks (if applicable) and runs programmed ramp, hold, and cool stages.
- Upon completion and reaching safe temperature, open chamber and retrieve part using heat‑resistant tools.
- Perform finishing, polishing, or further surface treatment as required.
Calibration Using the P95 Manual’s Procedure
If restorations come out over-fired (too glossy) or under-fired (matte, chipping), run a calibration test. The manual outlines using the "Calib" program with a ceramic calibration pellet. The target temperature difference should be less than 5°C. If higher, adjust the "Temp. Offset" parameter in the service menu (accessible with code 1234). remains a legendary "workhorse" in the industry
4.2 IPS e.max Press / LT / HT
- Muffle Material: Special investment material (e.g., PressVest).
- Temperature: 915°C – 930°C (for e.max).
- Vacuum: 500-600 mbar (starting before plastic point).
- Manual Warning: Never press lithium disilicate above 940°C; it will flow uncontrollably and bond to the muffle insulation.
