Conditioning of metal and zirconium frameworks (CoCr/NPM/titanium/zirconium)

Sandblast with aluminium oxide with a
110 m grain at a pressure of 3 to 4 bar
for metal frameworks, or 2 bar max. for
zirconium frameworks.
The framework must not be cleaned with
the steam blaster after sandblasting;
remove any impurities using alcohol and
a clean brush.
Then apply the MKZ primer and wait
until this evaporates.

Conditioning of precious metal

frameworks (palladium-based/
silver-based alloy)
Sandblast metal frameworks with aluminium oxide with a 110 m grain at a
pressure of 2 to 3 bar.
The framework must not be cleaned with
the steam blaster after sandblasting;
remove any impurities using alcohol and
a clean brush.
Then mix the MKZ primer and the MKZ
EM-activator at a ratio of 1:1, apply and
wait until the mixture evaporates.

Conditioning of plastics
(Composite/PMMA materials/highperformance polymers such as Bio XS/
BioHPP):
Sandblast plastics/plastic frameworks
with aluminium oxide with a 110 m
grain at a pressure of 2 to 3 bar. The
framework must not be cleaned with the
steam blaster after sandblasting; remove
any impurities using alcohol and a clean
brush.
visio.link is then applied thinly and cured
in a light polymerisation device for
90 seconds (wavelength range 370nm
- 400 nm).
The conditioned area should have a
semi-matt finish after light hardening,
then the layer thickness is perfect.

visio.lign system components

Composite processing kit
The visio.lign Toolkit has been optimised for
processing composite and visio.lign veneers and
ensures a perfect finish.
The combination of the materials of the visio.lign veneering
system and the visio.lign Toolkit results in surfaces featuring
plaque resistance and shade stability and their quality and
resistance is identical to those of a ceramic material.
Burs with relief produce smooth surfaces and reduce the
time needed for polishing
Prepolishing and high-gloss polishing paste included in the
kit
Tools arranged at different heights to ensure easy access
and grasp
Removable glass jar to avoid drying out of the high-gloss
polishing paste
Pictograms and reference numbers printed on the tools for
better visual control
Three empty spaces for additional tools

bre.Lux Power Unit

Versatile polymerisation unit for practices and
laboratories.
In the past, several devices were necessary for processing
veneer and dental materials. With bre.Lux, the concept of
processing all current materials with one single device has
become reality for the first time.
Performance
Fixation / Hardening / Intermediate polymerisation and
final thorough hardening directly in the workplace and with
one single device
370 - 500 nm covers the required wavelength range, for the
manual lamp as well
Performance delay and reduction maximise the properties
and results of dental materials
Start-up delay and polymerisation time can be easily
combined
Large volume for 2 models, optimally and uniformly
illuminated
Energy
The bre.Lux Power Unit consists of one LED light polymerisation
device with 21 power LEDs in 3 different capacities, from 370
nm to 500 nm. The LEDs have a useful life of 20,000 hours.
The bre.Lux LED N manual lamp (with spiral cable) features a
capacity ranging from 370 nm to 500 nm.
The flexible hose with receptacle ring for the manual lamp
serves as third hand and allows two-handed work.

crea.lign surface cleaner

crea.lign surface cleaner is a surface cleaning agent to remove the dispersion layer. Thanks to the special mixture of
the crea.lign surface cleaner, the dispersion layer is dissolved
and removed entirely from the surface. Surface cleaning
needs to be carried out carefully and a toothbrush should be
used to thoroughly clean indentations, such as fissures, for
example.
