IPS e.max press is indicated for full anterior or posterior crowns, veneers, inlays, onlays, as well as three-unit bridges having only one pontic with the second bicuspid as the most distal abutment.
IPS e.max®
IPS e.max® is the ideal choice for high esthetic cases that require exceptional durability. It has four levels of translucency for an appearance that mimics natural dentition. In addition to its lifelike appearance, this lithium disilicate glass-ceramic also features a flexural strength of 500 MPa. It is 2.5-3 times stronger than any other glass-ceramic alternative. Our team can customize these restorations as either a full-contour monolithic or cut-back and layered with porcelain for the anterior. IPS e.max® contains additional impulse ingots for maximum flexibility and fracture-resistance. Our team fabricates IPS e.max® as highly accurate crowns, bridges, and implant-supported crowns.
Features:
- Customizable
- Translucent Esthetics
- 500 MPa
- Fracture-Resistant
Bridges which include molars, Maryland style bridges and bridges which have a short vertical height that does not allow for adequate connector height.
Anterior full-coverage crowns require a chamfer or shoulder margin. A circular shoulder is prepared with rounded inner edges or a chamfer at an angle of 10-30°: the width of the shoulder/chamfer is approx. 1 mm. Facial reduction is 1.5 – 2 mm; 1 – 1.5 mm lingual contact clearance. Incisal reduction is 1.5 – 2 mm with rounded internal line angles, and an incisal edge at least 1mm wide to permit optimum milling of the incisal edge during CAD/CAM processing.
Posterior full-coverage crown requires a chamfer or shoulder margin. A circular shoulder is prepared with rounded inner edges or a chamfer at an angle of 10-30°: the width of the shoulder/chamfer is approx. 1 mm. Occlusal reduction is 1.5 – 2 mm: axial reduction (buccal, lingual and interproximal) is 1.5 mm with rounded internal line angles.
IPS e.max layered – can be either cemented using a resin reinforced glass ionimer such as Relyx Luting cement. Or bonded using a resin cement, when extra strength is needed due to lack of retention on the prep, use a resin cement such as Relyx Unicem or Relyx Ultimate.
If adjustments are needed, use fine diamonds with water and light pressure. Always remove the crown when adjusting or bond/cement crown before adjustments are made.).
