IPS e.max Press

IPS e.max Press are biocompatible lithium disilicate (LS2) glass-ceramic ingots. They offer the fit, form and function which is expected from pressed ceramics. In addition, they offer improved flexural strength (400 MPa). With optimized aesthetic properties creating all-ceramic restorations that offer true-to-nature results has never been so easy.

IPS e.max Press is suitable for the fabrication of highly aesthetic cut-back and monochromatic single tooth restorations, such as veneers, inlays, onlays, anterior, posterior crowns, 3 unit Anterior bridges and Implant solutions. With its homogeneity and light scattering behaviour, IPS e.max Press provides a balanced chameleon effect. In addition of the light-optical properties, IPS e.max Press restorations are distinguished for their lifelike translucency (5 levels of translucency), high aesthetics, and a flexural strength of 400 MPa.

Dominance of the central incisors: All-ceramic crowns on endodontically treated central incisors

31 Oct 2012 | Clinical Excellence

Discoloured teeth are often the result of endodontic treatment. Although metal-ceramic crowns may cover even severely discoloured tooth structure, the metal frame often causes the areas beneath the crown margins to appear dark. The framework does not allow light to pass through the remaining tooth structure and the dark margins of the metal sub...
