Investment and Duplicating Materials in the Dental Laboratory
Published on May 6, 2026 · 5 min read time
The role of investment material in press ceramics
When pressing lithium disilicate and feldspathic ceramics, the heat resistance of the investment material directly determines the accuracy of the final restoration. A low-quality investment material can cause micro-cracks and dimensional change during pressing.
Feguramed's Einbettmasse Presskeramik line is built with high heat resistance specifically to meet this demand.
Duplicating silicones: the foundation of accuracy
Model duplication requires repeating many stages of prosthetic work, and detail loss can accumulate with each repetition. A duplicating silicone with a low shrinkage rate minimizes that risk.
Feguramed's Dubliersilikone product ensures that even the finest anatomical detail is transferred accurately.
The importance of model plaster and polishing pastes
A model plaster's expansion coefficient and surface hardness affect every subsequent stage of prosthetic work. Polishing pastes, in turn, determine the final appearance of metal and ceramic surfaces.
Feguramed's Polierpasten line, formulated separately for different material types, delivers a mirror-finish result.
What sets Feguramed's four decades of experience apart?
Operating in Buchen, Germany since 1981, Feguramed exhibits annually at the IDS trade fair in Cologne, keeping up with the latest industry developments and continuously refining its product line.
Meridian brings this experience directly to Azerbaijani laboratories, ensuring consistency at every stage of the laboratory workflow.
