Quick question for those d.sign gurus out there.. I guess I got used to the finish and surface bubbles that I have to deal with on a daily basis... I'm making these crowns to manufacturers specs.. for the most part.
Anyway I received a trial kit of the Noritake super porcelain EX-3 and have built a few crowns with it.. and the bottom line is the finish/glaze is excellent, no surface porosity on glaze... no stress cracks on single crowns that I'm used to seeing with the d.sign on the first bake. The only annoyance is the opaque seems to be on the lighter side .. so when I don't have much body porcelain the shade seems to lighten slightly... other than that it's definitely easier to use and I could imagine doing some 1 bake crowns with it.. which I have not been able to do since I was using Weiland reflex.
So I guess my question is ... Is the surface porosity(glaze w/out glaze material) and tearing on the first bake just issues I have to deal with using this D. sign porcelain? or am I doing something wrong.. All the complaints I've ever heard about this porcelain are the exact issues I'm having. In fact I was told by a rep from a diff company that the Ivoclar inline is IPS d.sign.. but with all the problems fixed.
