Block concept
IPS Empress CAD Blocks
The shading and translucency control of the IPS Empress CAD Blocks is based on a newly developed translucency concept
built on the A-D, Chromascop, and Bleach BL shade guides.
The IPS Empress CAD Blocks are available in two degrees of translucency and as a polychromatic block. The blocks are
precisely coordinated with the respective indications and thus enable excellent shade match with the corresponding shade
guide. Depending on the indication, the blocks provide a true-to-nature chameleon effect, life-like brightness value, or a
natural shade transition.
IPS Empress CAD HT (High Translucency)
These blocks are available in the 9 most popular A–D shades, 3 Chromascop shades, and 4 sizes. Given their high
translucency, HT blocks are ideally suitable for the fabrication of smaller restorations (e.g. inlays and onlays). Restorations
made of HT blocks convince users with their true-to-nature chameleon effect and outstanding adaptation to the residual
tooth structure. The blocks demonstrate life-like fluorescence in order to permit optimum integration into the natural
residual tooth structure under different light conditions.
IPS Empress CAD LT (Low Translucency)
These blocks are available in the 9 most popular A–D shades, 3 Chromascop shades, 4 Bleach BL shades, and 4 sizes. Given
their high brightness value compared to the HT blocks, the LT blocks are ideal for the fabrication of larger restorations (e.g.
anterior and posterior crowns). Restorations made of LT blocks convince users with their true-to-nature brightness value
and chroma, which prevents a greying of the incorporated restorations. The blocks demonstrate a life-like fluorescence in
order to enable optimum integration into the natural environment, even under varying light conditions. Restorations made
of LT blocks are also ideally suitable for the cut-back technique.
IPS Empress CAD Multi
These blocks are available in the 5 most popular A–D shades and 3 sizes. Given the
natural shade gradient from the dentin to the incisal areas, restorations made of
IPS Empress CAD Multi Blocks demonstrate a maximum of aesthetics and naturalness. In
conjunction with the flexible positioning of the restoration within the block, the true-to-
nature opacity and translucency gradient enables a multitude of aesthetic possibilities.
The IPS Empress CAD Multi Block features a transition of fluorescence very similar to
that of natural teeth, which results in excellent integration into the residual dentition.
Given the innovative combination of true-to-nature transition of shade, translucency,
and fluorescence, highly aesthetic restorations are fabricated in an easy way.
