Ivoclar Vivadent IPS Empress Esthetic - Manual (Page 3)

3
Nearly 20 years ago, IPS Empress revolutionized the processing of ceramic and thanks
to its many advantages, such as aesthetics, IPS Empress has been established as the
“benchmark”. More then 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 future IPS Empress System will comprise products for both
processing technologies. You will be able to benefit from roughly 20 years of clinical
experience and convincing aesthetics, 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 technology. Both products consist of the highly aesthetic,
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 aes-
thetic appearance. They may thus be used for the fabrication of fully anatomic single-
unit restorations, such as inlays, onlays, veneers, and crowns.
Both products may subsequently be stained and/or glazed using IPS Empress
Universal Shades/Stains , or individually veneered using the IPS Empress Esthetic
Veneer layering ceramic.
In this way, the IPS Empress System will remain synonymous for highly aesthetic, fully
anatomical all-ceramic restorations, irrespective of the processing technology.
