Step-by-step: Finishing CEREC Zirconia MTL and CEREC Zirconia+ - Polishing and optional Glazing in the CEREC SpeedFire
CEREC MTL Zirconia/CEREC Zirconia+ can be finished by polishing or through a combination of polishing and glazing.
Polishing:
- Ensure the restoration is properly polished, including the occlusal surface, especially the areas that are in direct contact with the antagonist.
- After functional adjusting, re-polish the surfaces to achieve a high gloss.
- This ensures the potential of unwanted abrasion while delivering a final high quality restoration.
Optional Glazing:
Step 1: Fill the restoration with CEREC SpeedPaste and put it on a glaze support pin
- Fill the inside of the crown with just enough CEREC SpeedPaste to support the firing pin – do not overfill.
- Push the crown gently onto a firing pin.
- Single tooth restorations: Glaze support single unit
- Bridges: Glaze support multi unit
Step 2a: Glaze your restoration with DS Universal Spray Glaze
- Ensure that restoration is free of contamination and completely dried with oil-free air prior to glaze application.
- Shake the container well immediately before usage
- Keep the can as upright as possible during the spraying process.
- Apply an even coat of spray from all sides and maintain a distance of 6 – 10 cm (2.5 – 4.0 in) between the nozzle outlet and the restoration surface.
Step 2b: Glaze your restoration with DS Universal Stain & Glaze System
- Ensure that restoration is free of contamination and completely dried with oil-free air prior to glaze application.
- Apply a thin layer of the glaze material all over the crown surface by using a brush (e.g. Pinelo by Dentsply Sirona)
- If a more intensive shade effect is desired, DS Universal Stains can be used
Step 3: Glazing in the CEREC SpeedFire furnace
- Position the support with the restoration centrally on the top door insulation
- Select the “GLAZE” program on the CEREC SpeedFire control panel and allow the unit to cycle
- Important: Wait until the clock timer has run down to 0.

CEREC network operation recommendations
Previously, radio modules were the recommended connection for sending processing jobs from the CEREC AC to MC XL-family units. As the CEREC Primemill’s firmware updates are typically much larger than those for the MC XL units, completing these updates with a radio module takes considerably longer than with a WiFi solution. CEREC Primemill also offers additional features such as remote login which require a connection to the practice (or lab) network.
For those reasons, we recommend not to use radio modules with CEREC Primemill.
Please find all details in the document CEREC Network Operation Recommendations. This document covers all CEREC network-based components.

Technical details and requirements
The factory-calibrated thermal element is constructed for the durability of the furnace. Therefore an exchange is not expected in the first years of operation.
The calibration tool is designed for the fine adjustment of the temperature measurement and is only necessary when the thermo-element in the field has to be changed.
It lasts at least 2000 cycles.
There is no risk. The device has been inspected and sufficiently shielded, so there is no risk of emission.
Connectivity and orders
Yes.
No, this is not possible.
No.
Yes.
We recommend a direct connection of the SpeedFire to your network via the Ethernet connection via LAN cable. In addition, the HW modules can also be used as a radio connection. If these options are not available, the SpeedFire can also be connected via Wi-Fi. For this you also need a USB-Wi-Fi adapter (REF: 6578012). In the case of a Wi-Fi connection, the ad-hoc mode is not permitted, the connection must be made via an access point.
No.
Yes, the furnace in general can be controlled by several Acs, yet for doing so the CEREC SW 4.4.1 or higher or the respective Premium version are required.
Yes, with Software inLab CAM 19.0 and higher it is now possible to control CEREC SpeedFire. All restorations fitting into the oven regarding their clinical dimensions may be transferred to CEREC SpeedFire by inLab CAM 19.0.
As soon as the order has been successfully forwarded to the furnace, the SW and the
CEREC AC can be switched off or a new case can be started.

Yes.
Yes. A longer sintering process for lighter shades is not critical; this means sensitive colors will always be considered when combining colors during the heat treatment.
Yes.
The wall thickness is an important parameter for the calculation of the processing time during the heat treatment.
Studies
We recommend at least polishing the occlusal before glazing the restoration, this way the surface below the glaze is smooth just in case the glaze will be burst or grind away.
