01 Apply separation and spacer wax to the master die, followed by a dust coating of VITA® In-Ceram powder (Fig. A).

02 Place the master die into the modeling putty on the die holder (Fig. B).

03 Place the die holder onto the axis arm of the ELC-One machine. The electro deposition process is ready to begin.

04 The electrophoresis deposition process for single units takes approximately 10 minutes; for 3-unit bridges, 15 minutes (Fig. C).

05 When the dipping process is complete, remove the die holder from the ELC-One unit.

06 Trim away the over-dipped In-Ceram material beneath the margin (Fig. D).

07 Remove the unsintered coping from the master die by directing the hot air from the heat gun over the processed dipped coping for 10 seconds (Fig. E). Note: This softens the underlying wax and allows for easy removal of the coping from the die (Fig. F). The results are a uniform, consistent thickness of the coping. The thickness is controlled and adjustable by pre-set parameters during the initial set-up of the ELC-One Processor.

08 Sinter the copings/bridges. Note: The VITA Inceramat 3T by VITA, which is sold with the ELC-One System, has been designed and is highly recommended for this process (Fig. G).

09 After sintering, apply the VITA® In-Ceram infiltration glass in a 1- to 1.5-mm thickness to the surface of the sintered substructure (Fig. H). The infiltration glass application provides the strength and shade of the substructure.

10 Fire the framework to prepare the surface to receive the veneering porcelain. Note: The results are a strong, optimal fitting substructure that is radiolucent and biocompatible.

11 The x-ray shows the radiolucency of the VITA® In-Ceram substructure (Fig. I) and the ability of the clinician to detect cavities long after the restoration has been placed.
