IPS e.max CAD

IPS e.max CAD unites modern processing technology with a high-performance material. The lithium disilicate (LS2) glass-ceramic is manufactured in an innovative technological process, unique in the dental industry. The glass-ceramic is processed for the dental surgery or dental laboratory in the lithium metasilicate state (prepared for milling), the material exhibits its unusual "bluish" colour and strength of approximately 150 MPa. In this "blue" phase, the restorations can be manually adjusted or cut-back in a fast and efficient fashion. IPS e.max CAD acquires its final strength of 360 MPa and the desired aesthetic characteristics, such as tooth colour, translucency and brightness, during a simple and quick crystallization process.

IPS e.max CAD is suitable for the fabrication of highly aesthetic monochromatic and cut-back single tooth restorations, such as veneers, inlays, onlays, anterior, and posterior crowns. With its homogeneity and light scattering behaviour, IPS e.max CAD provides a balanced chameleon effect. In addition of the light-optical properties, IPS e.max CAD restorations are distinguished for their lifelike translucency (4 levels of translucency), high aesthetics, and a flexural strength of 360 MPa.
