So! Here's something that's been on the back burner for a while that I want to ask you guys with experience about. We have an Ivoclar S1 sintering oven. For some background, our lab sell crowns at two price points: a higher price point for emax zircad crowns, and a lower price point for sagemax, usually posterior crowns. Up until now, we've had another milling center do our sagemax crowns. But lately, we're interested in doing all our own milling. The only problem is, we don't have sagemax yet. We're waiting on getting the exact right program for the oven, which looks pretty complicated. Even our Ivoclar guy doesn't seem sure how to do it.
So I guess my question is: has anyone done this themselves and have any advice? One option that was recommended to me was to look for an actual Ivoclar puck that's similar to Sagemax (which I understand is owned by Ivoclar, but they don't have programs for it in their ovens..) because the S1 comes pre-programmed with sintering cycles for pretty much all the different sorts of Ivoclar material.
What are your guys' thoughts? Thanks in advance!
