Nearly 20 years ago, IPS Empress revolutionized the processing of ceramic and thanks to the many advantages of the
leucite- reinforced glass-ceramic, such as esthetics, IPS Empress has been established as the "benchmark". More than
33 million restorations fabricated of IPS Empress throughout the world and the use of "IPS Empress" as a synonym for
all-ceramics speak for the durable life-like appearance, the ongoing success, and the high quality standard of the material.
In addition to the tried-and-tested PRESS technology, the CAD/CAM technology has also developed in the area of all-
ceramics. In order to supply the "benchmark" for this technology as well, the IPS Empress System comprises products for
both processing technologies. You will be able to benefit from roughly 20 years of clinical experience and convincing
esthetics, irrespective of whether the restorations were fabricated with the PRESS or CAD/CAM technique.
IPS Empress Esthetic is available for the PRESS technology, while IPS Empress CAD is used in the CAD/CAM
techno logy. Both products consist of the highly esthetic, leucite-reinforced glass-ceramic that has been clinically tried-
and-tested for many years. The two ceramics are characterized by excellent strength values and outstanding esthetic
appearance. They may thus be used for the fabrication of full-contour single-tooth restorations, such as inlays, onlays,
veneers, and crowns.
Both products may subsequently be stained and/or glazed using IPS Empress Universal Shade / Stains / Glaze , or
individually veneered using the IPS Empress Esthetic Veneer layering ceramic.
In this way, the IPS Empress System will remain synonymous for highly esthetic, full-contour all-ceramic restorations,
irrespective of the processing technology.
