IPS e.max

Designed with simplicity and versatility in mind, IPS e.max is the ultimate in metal-free aesthetics and strength offering high-strength materials for both the press and the CAD/CAM technique.

IPS e.max offers the ideal balance of CAD/CAM technology and cutting-edge press technique.

The decision to use IPS e.max is a decision to take advantage of the unlimited possibilities of all-ceramics, no matter which technique you choose.

The nano-fluorapatite layering ceramic IPS e.max Ceram completes the all-ceramic system. This material is used to veneer all IPS e.max components, no matter if they are glass-ceramic or zirconium oxide.

A single, consistent layering ceramic scheme as well as predictable shade results allow you to offer your dentists and patients highly personalized and natural-looking restorations even for complex cases, independent of the frameworks material.

IPS e.max CAD

High strength, highly aesthetic glass-ceramic ingot for Press technique.

High strength, highly aesthetic glass-ceramic for the CAD/CAM technique.

The PRESS technique has established itself as a state-of-the-art processing method over the past 19 years and it has become synonymous with aesthetic and accurately fitting all-ceramic restorations.

IPS e.max Press are new biocompatible lithium disilicate glass-ceramic ingots. They offer the fit, form and function which is expected from pressed ceramics. In addition, they offer improved flexural strength (400 MPa).

The aesthetic properties have been optimized. Creating all-ceramic restorations has been simplified and they offer true-to-nature properties like never before.

How can you get closer to the future? By creating it! IPS e.max CAD unites modern processing technology with a high-performance material. The lithium disilicate glass-ceramic is manufactured in an innovative technological process, unique in the dental industry.

The glass-ceramic is processed in a crystalline intermediate phase. In this “soft” state, the material exhibits its unusual “bluish” colour and strength of approximately 160 MPa.

In this “blue” phase, the restorations can be manually adjusted or cut-back in a fast and efficient fashion. IPS e.max CAD acquires its final strength of 360 MPa and the desired aesthetic characteristics, such as tooth colour, translucency and brightness, during a simple and quick crystallization process at 850 °C. Subsequently, the crowns can be stained and glazed or veneered with IPS e.max Ceram.
