IPS e.max – one system for every indication
IPS e.max is an innovative all-ceramic system which covers the entire all-ceramic indication range – from
thin veneers to 12-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 sin-
gle-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.
IPS e.max CAD
The shades and translucency levels of the IPS e.max CAD blocks are based on the overarching IPS e.max
shade system.
The IPS e.max CAD blocks are available in three different levels of opacity; the opaque MO blocks are for
labside use (layering technique). The more translucent LT and HT blocks are suitable for the chairside
fabrication of fully anatomical restorations (staining technique). The selection of the translucency level is
based on the clinical requirements (indication, shade of the prepared tooth, desired tooth shade)
presented by the patient.
