Metal-FREE Ceramics

Ivoclar Vivadent emax Press

IPS e.max Press

IPS e.max Press are lithium disilicate glass-ceramic ingots for the press technique.

The innovative IPS e.max Press lithium disilicate glass-ceramic (LS2) offers excellent fit, form and function combined with high strength of 500 MPa. The material is supplied in seven levels of translucency and ingot two sizes. The resulting restorations exhibit lifelike esthetics, regardless of the clinical situation.

IPS e.max Press is used to produce single-tooth restorations, bridges for the anterior and premolar region, inlays, onlay, implant superstructures and custom implant abutments.

A wide selection of ingots are available from which users can choose to suit their preferred processing technique (staining, cut-back or layering technique) and clinical demands. The restorations are characterized or veneered with coordinated staining materials or layering ceramic from the IPS e.max Ceram assortment. Materials intended for full-contour restorations are available in 16 A-D and four Bleach BL shades. The substructure materials for the layering technique are supplied in varing levels of chromatic shades.

Available ingots:

Multi ingots

These polychromatic and polytranslucent ingots provide a natural shade progression from the margin to the incisal edge, and enable technicians to achieve a strong and highly esthetic restoration without needing to cutback and layer.

HT ingots

The high translucency ingots (HT) are ideal for the fabrication of minimally invasive full-contour restorations, such as inlays, onlays and veneers. The restorations can then be characterized with staining materials in the IPS e.max Ceram line.

MT ingots

The medium translucency ingots (MT) are perfect for a variety of indications from thin veneers to 3-unit bridges and are ideal for restorations requiring a higher brightness level than HT and more translucency than LT.

LT ingots

Full-contour partial crowns and crowns are fabricated beautifully with the low translucency ingots (LT). In the anterior region in particular, the esthetic appearance of the restorations is maximized by employing the cut-back technique.

MO ingots

The medium opacity ingots (MO) are used to fabricate substructures for vital or slightly discolored teeth. They create an ideal basis for lifelike restorations completed with the layering technique.

HO ingots

In cases where the prepared tooth structure is discolored or titanium abutments are used, the HO ingots mask the dark background to achieve highly esthetic results.

Impulse Opal ingots

The best option for enamel replacement. Restorations fabricated with these ingots exude exceptionally opalescent properties making them ideal for (thin) veneers with light teeth requiring an opalescent effect.

IPS Object Fix Flow

Auxiliary firing pastes with different levels of viscosity to support allceramic restorations (particularly IPS e.max® CAD) during firing and crystallization. The pastes are used to stabilize and secure the restorations on the silicon nitride support pins or directly on the silicon nitride firing tray. The pastes are easy to apply and remove after the firing procedure.

Ivoclar Vivadent e.max ZirCAD/ZirLiner

IPS e.max ZirCAD MT Multi

IPS e.max ZirCAD MT Multi is a new polychromatic zirconia from Ivoclar Vivadent. It is the most esthetic, high strength multi-translucent zirconia on the market, offering up to 30% higher flexural strength and 50% higher fracture toughness compared to other common translucent zirconia materials.

IPS e.max ZirCAD MT Multi, has been designed with a special powder formulation which offers high biocompatibility and excellent flexibility. This pre-shaded medium translucency (MT) multi zirconium oxide was designed to be the ideal zirconia choice for cases in which high mechanical stability and natural looking dentition are of the essence.

Designed for both the anterior and posterior region, the integrated progression of shade and translucency in IPS e.max ZirCAD MT Multi maximizes the appearance of monolithic crowns and bridges. Unlike some other multi zirconia discs on the market, which only change the shading through the disc with pigments, IPS e.max ZirCAD MT Multi offers innovative shading technology to provide a true evolution of material composition from MT to HT zirconia. The results are restorations that demonstrate a natural progression of chroma and translucency from dentin to enamel. Not only does this allow for a beautiful restoration, it also allows for the efficient production of restorations in A-D shades without requiring further characterization or staining.

The unique formulation of IPS e.max ZirCAD MT Multi provides the perfect combination of zirconia strength, color, and translucency; the ideal zirconia choice for cases in which high mechanical stability, thin restoration walls, and natural looking dentition are of the essence. Only requiring 0.8 mm of tooth reduction in the anterior and 1.0 mm of tooth reduction in the posterior, IPS e.max ZirCAD MT Multi allows for conservative preparations without compromising the longevity of the restoration.

Customized esthetics   
Coordinated veneering materials, such as IPS e.max Ceram and IPS Ivocolor, provide a large number of individualization possibilities. These materials are also suitable for IPS e.max lithium disilicate, allowing your laboratory to carry one system for both lithium disilicate and zirconia restorations.

Indications:

• Full-contour crowns and bridges
• Crown and bridge frameworks
• Implant-supported superstructures

IPS e.max lithium disilicate and IPS e.max zirconium oxide offer versatile all-ceramic solutions for every case. IPS e.max is the only system that brings these two materials together in a single, comprehensive, easy to use solution that allows all indications in fixed prosthetics to be covered with an all-ceramic option.
