• Choice between adhesive, self-adhesive and conventional cementation[9] 98% customer satisfaction[10] with IPS e.max Press Lifelike esthetics* and precise shading The optimized translucency, the vibrant and warm shades and the specialized shading of IPS e.max Press form the basis for true-to-nature* esthetics. The excellent quality of the margins is most noticeable in finely tapering margins. Ideally suited for different requirements Due to the many different processing options, you have the flexibility you need. Your dental technician will create the desired restoration according to the individual requirements: stained, or partially or fully veneered[8]. A combination of veneered restorations in the anterior and monolithic restorations in the posterior region also produces a harmonious overall outcome. Wide variety of applications You can prepare in your customary way to ensure dependable results. IPS e.max Press can be used to fabricate very thin restorations that require only minimal removal of tooth structure. Thin veneers, veneers and occlusal veneers Tooth structure-preserving customized solutions for corrective cosmetic treatments. If sufficient space is available, preparation can be dispensed with altogether. Inlays and onlays Glass-ceramic materials have been successfully used to produce long-lasting restorations, such as inlays and onlays, for almost 30 years. The esthetic and clinical results speak for themselves. Anterior and posterior crowns Pressed glass-ceramic crowns have been a very popular restorative solution for posterior teeth for many years. Because of their impressive esthetic properties, they come into their own in the anterior region in particular, where individuality is desired. Anterior and premolar bridges 3-unit bridges made of IPS e.max Press are suitable for the anterior and premolar region up to the second premolar as the terminal abutment. The clinically proven material quality enables stable and esthetic restorations. Hybrid abutments and hybrid abutment crowns Your laboratory may use IPS e.max Press to fabricate individual abutments that can be bonded to a titanium base and then fitted with a permanent crown, or they may create hybrid abutment crowns that combine the abutment and the crown in one and therefore eliminate the need for bonding in the mouth and the removal of excess material. For remarkable results – also on dark prepared teeth The overall effect of a restoration is based on the smooth integration of its shape and shade into the mouth of the patient. Differences in the shade of the restoration and the remaining natural tooth structure have a negative effect on the esthetic appearance of the final outcome. The prerequisite for a natural-looking* all-ceramic restoration is the successful interplay of the shade of the prepared tooth, the material selected and the cementation material used. It is important for you to inform your laboratory about the shade of the prepared teeth. This enables the laboratory to choose the IPS e.max Press material with the suitable level of translucency. As a result, impressive esthetic results can be achieved, even if the prepared teeth are quite dark. Cementation Polishing
