These dental furnaces are designed for both firing ceramic restorations and for pressing ceramics, thus they are able to work with multiple dental materials and dental laboratory workflows. A combination furnace should include programs for firing a range of dental ceramic materials, as well as the ability to create customized programs to meet the needs of any lab. The press functions of these furnaces use a combination of temperature and pressure in order to press ceramic materials into the proper restoration design. A combination furnace is a great piece of equipment for a lab that provides a variety of restoration options and needs equipment that can accommodate a wide range of workflows. As with any equipment purchase, be sure your furnace is backed by a reputable company with training and support.
