Programat* A story of success • ■ ivoclar ’■ vivadenl: passion vision innovation

40 years of innovation Forty years ago, the first Programat furnaces were tested in the dental market. In 1977, the Programat P1 was presented to a specialist audience for the first time at the International Dental Show in Düsseldorf, Germany. Already at that time, the opening mechanism of the shell-shaped furnace head caused a sensation. Since then, one innovation has followed the next. The Programat brand has embarked on an upward trajectory all around the world and is now the market leader in ceramic furnaces *. Thousands of happy customers Today's Programat platform comprises three...

A platinum thermocouple integrated into the lower part of the Programat P1 measures the temperature in the firing chamber. The temperature reading is shown on a 7-segment display. With a basic rotary potentiometer, the temperature can be controlled up to 1,180 °C. Platinum thermocouple for measuring the firing temperature 1976 • Swivelling furnace head • Modular design with removable furnace head, electronic controls and cooling tray • Compact unit with five pro

I was amazed to hear that Ivoclar Vivadent launched a furnace with a built-in infrared camera. When I tested the Programat furnace for the first time, I was surprised by the firing results. I would never have thought that I could measure the temperature on the objects being fired so accurately with the help of this technology. Gérald Ubassy Dental Technician, France The Programat P710 is equipped with a built-in infrared camera in addition to an integrated thermocouple. The infrared camera identifies the restorations in the firing chamber and measures the temperature on the objects to be...

Temperature is ideal Temperature is too hot Programat® P10 Chemical and physical impacts such as contamination and residue brought into the firing chamber by the firing objects continuously cause slight shifts in the temperature characteristics. For this reason, it is recommended that the temperature is checked with an independent system and, if necessary, recalibrated from time to time. In the past 40 years, the conventional silver test has become the established method for temperature calibration all around the world. Several factors come into play when using this method. The user decides...

The Programat P710 is my kind of furnace because for me it's very important that the furnace is calibrated perfectly. With the ATK 2 temperature calibration system I can check and calibrate the temperature in the furnace precisely. Only a perfect temperature enables perfect firing results. Oliver Brix Dental Technician, Germany The new Programat P510 and P710 furnaces are equipped with ATK2 technology (automatic temperature calibration 2). The process control function runs the calibration process automatically with the help of the ATK2 sample, using a highly accurate double range...

Programat® P90 The P90 made its debut on the dental market in 1987 and was the first Programat furnace to feature a membrane-sealed keypad. All essential parameters are shown in the 7-segment display above the parameter head and can be easily selected and changed via the keypad. — Numeric membrane-sealed keypad for an easy selection of parameters 1987 • Compact, timeless and practical design • Easy-to-operate and easy-to-clean membrane-sealed keypad • 5 special colour versions (RAL colours) • 90 programs

We have been exclusively using Programat furnaces in our laboratory for many years. The furnaces are reliable, robust and easy to operate. The programs are perfectly matched to the ceramic materials from Ivoclar Vivadent. This gives us the reliability we need in our laboratory. Christoph Zobler Dental Technician, Austria The Programat P510 furnaces are equipped with a 7-inch colour touch screen. In spite of its complexity, the furnace is easy to operate. Three clicks and the correct program is selected and started. The main functions (start, stop, open furnace head, etc) can be controlled...

Programat® P80 Heating elements must meet demanding requirements. They should offer a long service life and provide an even heat distribution in the firing chamber to ensure optimally sintered dental ceramics. In addition, they should provide quick and reliable heating across the entire temperature range. The heating elements of the P80 are not yet encased in a quartz glass sheathing. This offers the advantages of a high heating performance and strong robustness. — Heating wire in the heating muffle 1997 • Electronic vacuum sensor and LED quality display • Graphic firing curve display with...

In Japan, total perfection and precision are a basic requirement for a product in professional practice. The firing results I have achieved with the Programat P710 have convinced me of its benefits. For this reason, I prefer to use this furnace. Shigeo Kataoka Dental Technician, Japan The new Programat P310, P510 and P710 furnaces feature the QTK2 muffle technology with SiC bottom reflector. An outstandingly powerful heating element is seated behind a quartz glass cylinder and enables an extremely homogeneous heat distribution in the firing chamber. Given the high-performance heating...

Programat® X1 With the Programat X1 in 1997, a futuristic and extravagant design entered the market. The furnace features a large monochrome graphic display. Users can choose between five languages to operate the unit. Data and parameters can be entered via the membrane-sealed keypad with a separate number block. The screen displays not only figures and programs but also firing curves over several stages. A viewing window enables users to watch the progression of the firing procedure in the firing chamber. This is particularly convenient when performing soldering work or calibrating the...

I look not only for an excellent firing performance in a furnace. Its optical design also plays an important role for me because ever more patients come to us to the laboratory for shade matching. The Programat P710 combines a top modern design with technical perfection and inspires confidence in our patients. Oliver Morhofer Dental Technician, Germany Digitally networked Users can connect their smartphones to the Programat furnace via the Bluetooth interface to establish hands-free telephone capabilities. So they can call up the dentist whilst their hands stay free. The smartphone will...
