The world’s best-selling glass-ceramic
Benefits
Considerations
- Good strength
- Excellent translucency, fluorescence and opalescence yielding superior aesthetic properties
- Accuracy of fit, shape and function
- With the PRESS technique, two different types of ingots are available: IPS e.max® Press, a high-strength glass-ceramic and IPS e.max® ZirPress, an aesthetic glass-ceramic which is pressed onto zirconium oxide in a fast and efficient procedure
- CAD/CAM applications have either the highly aesthetic IPS e.max® CAD ceramic glass blocks for extra strength or the high strength IPS e.max® ZirCAD zirconium oxide can be selected, depending on the case requirements
- The nano-fluorapatite layering ceramic IPS e.max® Ceram completes the all-ceramic system. This material is used to veneer all IPS e.max® components, no matter if they are glass-ceramic or zirconium oxide
- Ceramics employed are issued with US IdentCeram® certificates to verify the American Dental Association classification and content of the restorative materials
The IPS e.max® system is a great choice in metal-free aesthetics and durability, offering a great balance between translucency and strength. It is suitable for both the Press and CAD/CAM techniques.
Why IPS e.max®?
IPS e.max® is an innovative lithium disilicate glass-ceramic material, which can create aesthetic and lifelike restorations. IPS e.max® crowns also offer great fit and consistent quality.
Note: The shades of the underlying stump and cement need to be considered as any discolouration may affect the final shade of the restoration.
