IPS e.max is an innovative all-ceramic system which covers the entire all-ceramic indication range – from
thin veneers to 10-unit bridges.
IPS e.max delivers high-strength and highly esthetic materials for the Press and the CAD/CAM
technologies. The system consists of innovative lithium disilicate glass-ceramics used mainly for single-
tooth restorations and high-strength zirconium oxide for large-span bridges.
Every patient situation presents its own requirements and objectives. IPS e.max meets these
requirements. Due to the system components you obtain exactly what you need.
– The components of the Press technology include the highly esthetic IPS e.max Press lithium disilicate
glass-ceramic ingots and the IPS e.max ZirPress fluorapatite glass-ceramic ingots for the fast and
efficient press-on-zirconia technique.
– Depending on the case requirements, two types of materials are available for CAD/CAM techniques:
the innovative IPS e.max CAD lithium disilicate blocks and the high-strength zirconium oxide IPS e.max
ZirCAD.
– The nano-fluorapatite layering ceramic IPS e.max Ceram, which is used to characterize/veneer all
IPS e.max components – glass or oxide ceramics – completes the IPS e.max System.

The shades and translucency levels of the IPS e.max CAD blocks are based on the overarching IPS e.max
shade system. The system has a flexible design and can be used in conjunction with the A-D,
Chromascop as well as Bleach BL shade guides.
The shades of the Press ingots and CAD/CAM blocks offered in the IPS e.max System are all coordinated
with each other. They are available in different degrees of opacity and/or translucency. The selection of
the translucency level is based on the clinical requirements (shade of the prepared tooth, desired tooth
shade) presented by the patient, as well as the desired processing technique (layering, cut-back, staining
technique).
The more opaque HO (only IPS e.max Press) and MO blocks are predominantly suitable for the layering
technique, while the more translucent LT and HT blocks are used for the cut-back and also the staining
technique.
