In 1991, Ivoclar Vivadent came up with a completely new way of fabricating dental restorations. As one of the worldwide leading manufacturers of integrated solutions for high-quality dental applications, the dental company from Liechtenstein had the pioneering idea of pressing all-ceramic materials and subsequently developed the press technique. This process is regarded as a milestone in esthetic dentistry and as a proven and future-proof manufacturing method.

The new Programat S2 sintering furnace is being released on the market concurrently with the new generation of the successful Programat furnace series. The new furnace is the result of the consistent further development of the predecessor Programat S1 1600. It is a compact unit that provides exceptionally accurate sintering results combined with a high level of user friendliness.

For over 40 years, Ivoclar Vivadent has been at the forefront of continuous innovations in the field of dental furnaces and is a global market leader in this segment. Now, the success story grows with the launch of the second generation of the current Programat series - offering the next level of modern, intuitive and smart furnace design. To mark the launch of the upcoming new generation, the company offers an additional extra for the first 100 pre-orders.

Ready-for-use, fast application and highly esthetic results – this characterizes the new IPS Style Ceram Paste Opaquer. It has a particularly high degree of opacity due to the large proportion of oxyapatite crystals – for restorations that resemble that of natural dentition.

The sintering furnace Programat S1 1600 features a new speed program for IPS e.max ZirCAD Prime zirconium oxide. Since IDS 2019, all new furnaces have been equipped with this new software. Customers who already have a Program S1 1600 or the previous model Programat S1 can download and install the software V6.0 for free.
