The System
With the growing popularity of Alumina Oxide (AL2O3)
based substructures in aesthetic dentistry, it is only fitting
the SNFPressCeram™ has grown to include a system that
is able to press and/or layer to Alumina (AL2O3).
Swiss NF Metals is proud to introduce SNFPressCeram™-
AL.
SNFPressCeram™-
AL porcelain pressing ingots enable the reconstruction
of natural looking teeth when pressed to Alumina (AL2O3)
crowns and frameworks.
SNFPressCeram™-
AL layering ceramic is a low fusing (780ºC)
dental ceramic material, used for the production of crowns
and bridges using Alumina (AL2O3)
based frameworks. The layering ceramic can be used either
with the pressing technique, or independently and directly
on the Alumina (AL2O3) substructure.
The Material
SNFPressCeram™- AL Ingots
The ingots have a high density and low wear to opposing
dentition. The ingots can be used when utilizing the ‘Stain
& Glaze Technique’, the ‘Cut-back &
Layering Technique’, or both. The ingots are fluorescent
and opalescent. The ingots are available in many shading
systems: Vitapan® Classical A-D shades, Monocast S0-S5
Staining Shades and Various Bleach Shades. The ingots are
available in 2g and will also be available in 5g sizes.

*
The Liner is NOT necessary. It is only optional when pressing.
Due to the high opacity level of the Alumina sub-structure,
the Liner will help to block-out / reduce the white effect
when pressing highly translucent ingots.

AL Glaze & Liquids
Glaze Powder (5g), Universal Glaze Liquid (20ml), Modeling
Liquid-SL (50ml)
Indications
SNFPressCeram™- AL is indicated for
use with any Alumina (AL2O3) framework/substructure
(e.g. Procera®, In-Ceram®, Wol-Ceram® or any
Alumina milling blocks) where superior fit of the margin
is desired.
Contraindications:
The pressing and layering material are NOT to be used as
an independent sustaining framework. The material must be
used WITH an Alumina framework. Also, SNFPressCeram™-
AL ingots are only compatible with the low-fusing SNFPressCeram™-
AL layering ceramic.
Tooth Preparation Guidelines
Refer to the Alumina manufacturer’s recommendations
for tooth preparation guidelines of Alumina restorations.
When modeling the Alumina coping/framework, be sure not
to create any sharp angles in the design. When modeling
and reconstructing the Alumina framework, it is essential
to meet the minimum thickness given by the manufacturer.
If the frameworks are too thin, cracks may occur during
the pressing procedure.
