A sophisticated concept

IPS e.max is the sum of many good ideas. The well-thought-out system comprises innovative lithium disilicate ceramics(LS2) which are predominantly used in the fabrication ofsingle-tooth restorations as well as high-strength zirconiumoxide materials that are suitable for producing long-spanbridges. One common layering ceramic is used on both theframework materials. Therefore, all the different parts ofcombination dentures have the same appearance becauseof a consistent layering scheme and exact shade matching.

The IPS e.max Press and CAD lithium disilicate ceramics are

characterized by their high strength (360 400 MPa). De-pending on your personal preference, you can process the

materials using traditional press or modern CAD/CAMtechnology. The restorations may even be conventionallycemented, if this is appropriate to the indication.

The IPS e.max ZirCAD zirconium oxide ceramic is thematerial of choice for fabricating larger restorations,for example, posterior bridges because of its outstandingfinal strength.

Variety makes dental lab technology so interesting. Luckily,there is a system that takes this aspect into account.

All you need for natural-looking restorations

Whatever you are planning, IPS e.max Press is prepared forit. The IPS e.max Press ingots are available in four levels oftranslucency and two sizes each. As a result, you have awide selection of ingots from which to choose the one thatsuits your preferred processing technique (staining, cut-backor layering technique) and the case to be treated (eg dis-coloured stump).

The restorations are characterized or veneered withmatching staining materials or IPS e.max Ceram layeringceramic.

The press material for the fabrication of full-contour resto-rations is available in 16 A-D and four Bleach BL shades.Group shades are available for the layering technique.

HT ingotsThese new highly translucent (HT)ingots are suitable for producing

minimally invasive full-contour restorations, such as inlays,onlays and veneers. The restorations are customized withIPS e.max Ceram staining materials (Shades/Essence).

LT ingotsThese ingots showing low translu-cency (LT) are used in the fabrication

of full-contour partial and full crowns. In the anterior regionin particular, the esthetic appearance of the restorations ismaximized by employing the cut-back technique in con-

junction with IPS e.max Ceram.

MO ingotsFrameworks that are placed on vitalor slightly discoloured prepared teeth

are best fabricated with the ingots of medium opacity (MO).They form an ideal base for lifelike restorations completedwith IPS e.max Ceram layering material. They are available infive shade groups (MO 0 - MO 4).

HO ingotsIn cases where the prepared tooth structure is discolouredor titanium abutments are used, you do not have to forgoesthetic all-ceramic IPS e.max Press restorations. The HOingots featuring high opacity successfully mask dark back-grounds to achieve highly esthetic results. The ingots areavailable in three different shades (HO 0, HO 1, HO 2).

The highlights

High strength (400 MPa) and outstanding esthetics

Minimally invasive restorations

Four levels of translucency for maximum flexibility

Lifelike esthetics independent of the shade of the prepared tooth

Depending on the indication, adhesive, self-adhesive or conventional cementation is possible

IPS e.max ZirPress: All you need for the press-on techniqueFluorapatite glass-ceramic ingots

IPS e.max ZirPress responds to the needs of modern dentaltechnicians. IPS e.max ZirPress allows you to combine thepress and the CAD/CAM technique and to benefit from theprecision fit and high strength offered by zirconium oxidematerials. The fluorapatite glass-ceramic ingots are designedfor pressing onto IPS e.max ZirCAD and other ZrO2 frame-works with a CTE of 10.5 to 11.0.

The working procedure in the fabrication of long-spanbridges is simplified in particular due to the fact that therestoration is built up in wax and then faithfully reproduced

in ceramic. You can concentrate on reproducing the formand function of the tooth, because the fluorapatite materialtakes care of the esthetic appearance and translucency ofthe tooth and the precision fit of the ceramic shoulder.

IndicationsThe press-on technique efficiently produces zirconium oxidesupported (multi-unit) bridges, inlay-retained bridges andcrowns as well as implant superstructures. IPS e.max ZirPressmay be used to reproduce gingival parts and to press ontoStraumann Anatomic IPS e.max abutments.

Prof Dr Daniel Edelhoff, Germany

All-ceramic inlay-retained bridges offeran interesting treatmentoption for the future, as

they involve a minimallyinvasive technique and

show outstanding esthe-tics. The framework

structure made of the partiallysintered zirconium oxide ceramicin combination with a glass-ceramic(IPS e.max ZirPress) seems to have

solved the strength problem at last.

All you need for the staining and layering techniques

IPS e.max ZirPress ingots are offered in three differentlevels of opacity in A-D shades and in four Bleach BL shades.In addition, two gingival shades are available. As severalingots can be pressed in the IPS Investment Ring System atthe same time, they are supplied in only one size. The resto-rations are characterized with the staining materials orveneered with the layering materials of the IPS e.max Ceramassortment.

HT ingotsThese highly translucent ingots are used for the fully anato-mical technique. The restorations are customized with theIPS e.max Ceram staining materials. This technique alsoallows inlay-retained bridges to be fabricated with all-ceramic materials without additional effort.

LT ingotsThese ingots showing low translucency are ideal for the cut-back technique. After the partially anatomical restorationshave been pressed on the frameworks, you can completethe incisal area individually as you wish using the IPS e.maxCeram materials.

MO ingotsThe MO ingots are used for pressing accurately fitting ceramicshoulders, bridge pontics and the cervical third before therestoration is completed with the IPS e.max Ceram material.

Gingiva ingotsThese two ingots facilitate the fabrication of gingival parts,particularly of large (implant) restorations, since the materialdoes not shrink and therefore helps to reduce the numberof firing cycles.

IPS e.max ZirCAD: All you need for the CAD/CAM techniqueYttrium-stabilized zirconium oxide blocks

Due to its excellent final strength, IPS e.max ZirCAD is thematerial of choice in situations where high strength is re-quired, for example, in posterior bridges.

IPS e.max ZirCAD is processed in a partially sinteredchalk-like state with the inLab or inLab MC-XL System *).The frameworks are designed with the dedicated software.Subsequently, the restoration is machined in detail. At thisstage, it is about 20 percent larger than its final size. Next,the restoration is sintered in the Sintramat high-temperaturefurnace. In this process, the framework shrinks to its final

size. Furthermore, the homogenous microstructure producedduring the sintering process imparts the material with itstypical high fracture toughness. Inaccuracies are kept to aminimum due to the fact that the sintering program ismatched to the IPS e.max ZirCAD material.

The IPS e.max ZirCAD frameworks are conventionally veneeredwith the IPS e.max Ceram layering ceramic. Alternatively,IPS e.max ZirPress is pressed onto them. The speciallydeveloped zirconium liner helps to generate a sound bond,irrespective of the technique that you use.

IndicationsIPS e.max ZirCAD is indicated for long-span bridge frame-works in the anterior and posterior region. In addition, itcan be used to fabricate primary parts for the telescopetechnique as well as implant superstructures and crowns.

Zirconium oxide restora-tions no longer have thereputation of lookingartificially white. Whethertheir lifelike appearanceis achieved by using the

sophisticated build-up

technique or colouredframeworks is unimportant.IPS e.max ZirCAD MO 1 and 2 are solidly coloured blocksin which the colour is evenly distributed. The brightnessof the sintered frameworks is precisely adjusted to therelated shade group. If you do not likewhite zirconium oxide, you will appre-ciate the coloured IPS e.max ZirCADblocks. Their shade and brightness aswell as their handling properties areof a very high standard.

IPS e.max ZirCAD is supplied in seven block sizes and inthree shades (MO 0, MO 1, MO 2). The smaller blocks areused to fabricate frameworks for single teeth, while thelarger blocks are used to produce long-span bridge frame-works or for batch processing.

White lines at the transition between zirconium oxidesupported restorations and the gingiva as well as excessivebrightness should be prevented, as they could impair theesthetics of the result. The new coloured blocks (MO 1 andMO 2) and the colouring liquids (4 colours) for imparting

colour to white frameworks (MO 0) are helpful in thisrespect.

Combination dentures are particularly difficult to produce.Therefore, the shade system of the IPS e.max ZirCAD blocksis coordinated with that of IPS e.max Press and CAD MO.

Therefore, a sound colour basis is created for pro-ducing excellent esthetic veneering results irres-pective of the IPS e.max framework material used(lithium disilicate or zirconium oxide).

It important to know how to use every materialwithin the system to full advantage.

IPS e.max CAD: All you need for the CAD/CAM techniqueLithium disilicate ceramic blocks

IPS e.max CAD the impressive combination of uniquenessand high performance!

The innovative lithium disilicate ceramic (LS2) fulfils thehighest esthetic demands and unites state-of-the-arttechnology with exceptional user friendliness.

The material is designed for fabricating esthetic, high-strength restorations using efficient CAD/CAM processingtechnology. The ceramic is machined in a soft intermediatestate in which it has exceptional milling properties and an

unusual bluish colour. In this state, the material can bemanually adjusted or cut back in a few quick and easy stepsand the fit can be checked. Subsequently, the material iscrystallized at 850 C. In this process, IPS e.max CAD acquiresits final strength of 360 MPa and the desired estheticproperties, such as tooth colour, translucency and brightness.

Depending on the requirements, the frameworks are eitheresthetically built up with IPS e.max Ceram or the full-contour restorations are efficiently characterized.

IndicationsYou can fabricate restorations for individual teeth, forexample, veneers, inlays and partial and full crowns, withIPS e.max CAD. If needed, the restorations can be con-ventionally placed. The material is also suitable for thefabrication of implant superstructures.

The addition of variouslevels of opacity to the

product range opens upnew possibilities for

achieving outstandingshade results. The newHT ingots can be used tofabricate highly translu-cent veneers in whichthe natural tooth colourdominates the final shade.

IPS e.max Ceram: All you need for the layering techniqueNano-fluorapatite layering ceramic

The lifelike esthetic appearance of the IPS e.max Ceramlayering ceramic is certain to impress you. The unique combi-nation of translucency, brightness and opalescence producestrue-to-nature light scattering and a balanced relationshipbetween the brightness and chroma of the restoration.

Forget the challenging task of having to adjust the shade ofdifferent restorations when you are working with a varietyof framework materials. A common veneering material isthe key to producing highly esthetic results with the differentIPS e.max materials, irrespective of whether the substructure

is made of lithium disilicate (LS2) or zirconium oxide. Youbenefit from one, common layering scheme and accurateshade matching. Furthermore, dental professionals andpatients alike will appreciate the fact that all the restorationsexhibit the same clinical behaviour and therefore, comparablewear and surface gloss.
