9. Dental procedure:
Impression
• The dental impression must be taken as precisely as possible. A clearly defined preparation
margin lays the foundation for later success.
Model fabrication
• The master model can be fabricated in the usual way with any conventional model system after
the dental impression has been taken.
Die preparation
• Uneven parts of the die must be blocked out with plastic or blockout wax.
• Because of problems associated with sharp edges in electroforming, all right angles and acute
angles must be rounded off or blocked out.
• The preparation limit of the single die is marked and later sealed with a die hardener.
• An interspace varnish is then applied, which serves as a spacer for the cement.
Duplication
• The prepared single die is fixed in a duplicating flask. The die is stirred under vacuum at a 1:1
ratio and duplicated with Deguform
®
(REF 2511 0002) or Deguform
• Let the silicone cure well (at least 45 minutes).
Fabricating the duplicate die
• The duplicating mold is injected with Waxit
• After a brief reaction time, blow the silicone mold thoroughly dry.
• Type IV gypsum (e.g. Picodent 280) is mixed according to the manufacturer's instructions and
a vibrator is used to cast it into the duplicating mold. Please do not use any plastic-stabilized
plaster.
• After the plaster has set, remove the duplicate die from the duplicating mold.
• Grind and round off the plaster die until it is small enough for there to be room under the
preparation limit to drill a borehole 2 mm in diameter.
• A 3 mm deep hole with 2.0 mm diameter is drilled under the preparation limit with a cutter
(REF 2351 0367).
Attaching the cathode
• Apply some Degufix cyanoacrylate adhesive (REF 23511365) to the clean metal rod, insert it into
the drilled hole (about 3.0 mm deep) and bond it in.
• Immediately remove excess adhesive and let it dry completely.

Applying the Solaris conductive silver paint
• Shake the bottle of conductive silver paint well before applying it.
• The conductive silver paint may only be applied to a dry and dust-free model die.
• Apply the conductive paint evenly with the brush up to the preparation limit and make
a connection to the exposed metal rod.
• Only apply a single coat. Touch up any defective spots.
• Let the conductive silver paint dry for about 30 minutes.
• Important: Please stick to this time in order to prevent contamination of the goldplating bath.
Direct application of conductive silver paint on telescopic crowns/bars etc.
• Fill the crown with plastic (pattern resin).
• After curing, use the bur (REF 2351 0367) to drill a hole with 2.0 mm diameter in the plastic.
• Put some Degufix (REF 2351 1365) cyanoacrylate adhesive on the clean metal rod, insert it into
the drilled hole (about 3.0 mm) and bond it in.
• Immediately remove excess adhesive and let it dry completely.
• Important: Degrease the crown to be electroformed before applying the conductive silver paint.
• Shake the conductive silver paint well before applying it.
• Apply the conductive paint evenly with a brush up to the preparation limit and make a connection
to the exposed metal rod.
• Only apply a single coat. Touch up any defective spots.
• Let the conductive silver paint dry for about 30 minutes.
• Please stick to this time in order to prevent contamination of the goldplating bath.
• With metal telescopes, cover the uneven shoulder with plastic.

Inserting the electrode disk
• The prepared electrodes are attached to the glass slide in the direction of the arrow.
• The glass slide is placed on the holder and locked from the outside with the lever.
• The parameters Coating Thickness, Object Type and Automatic Plaster Release On/Off are
entered into the device.
• The display shows the required goldplating bath and activator amounts as well as the beaker
glass to be used.
• The user must fill in the required amount accordingly.
• Press the START key to begin the process.
