Overview
LumiCera Resin is a high-ceramic-content dental resin for fabricating highly accurate restorations.
To maintain restoration accuracy and surface quality, do not immerse the restoration in alcohol. Clean the restoration using lint-free wipes.
Print removal
After printing, loosen and remove the printed restoration. Always wear gloves during the entire process to avoid direct contact with uncured resin.
Remove the supports
Use lint-free paper to initially clean the inner surface and external surface of the crown or bridge.
Pay special attention to the intaglio surface, where uncured resin can be difficult to remove. Wipe this area thoroughly and repeatedly until no visible resin remains.
Cleaning the Restoration
After removing most of the uncured resin from the restoration surface, choose one of the following cleaning methods: CaviWipes Cleaning, or Alcohol Soak Cleaning (Shake) followed by Sandblasting.
CaviWipes Cleaning Protocol
If using CaviWipes, thoroughly wipe the resin on the occlusal and intaglio surfaces.
Then thoroughly dry with compressed air.
Use a micro applicator to thoroughly clean the intaglio surface of the restoration, as well as the occlusal grooves and fissures.
Alcohol Soaking + Sandblasting Protocol
Fill the cleaning bottle with an appropriate amount of 75% alcohol.
Place the restoration into the cleaning bottle and shake gently for 5 seconds to remove uncured resin.
Use tweezers to remove the cleaned restoration. Use compressed air to completely dry the remaining alcohol on the surface
Due to alcohol exposure, the restoration surface may appear chalky.
Perform sandblasting to restore the surface finish after post-curing and surface fininsh. Sandblasting Parameters: Aluminum oxide powder, 120 grit, 0.2 MPa pressure.
Surface Inspection
Carefully inspect the restoration before post-curing.
Ensure that:
•No uncured resin remains on any surface, including the intaglio surface.
•Under adequate lighting, inspect the restoration from multiple viewing angles and ensure that no glossy or reflective areas remain.
Any glossy or reflective area indicates residual uncured resin, which may affect the fit and accuracy of the restoration after post-curing. Proceed to post-curing only after confirming that the restoration is completely clean and dry.
