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 single-
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,
because due to the system components you obtain exactly what you need.
– The components for 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-zirconium oxide technique.
– Depending on the case requirements, two types of materials are available for the CAD/CAM
technique: the innovative IPS e.max CAD lithium disilicate glass-ceramic blocks and the IPS e.max
ZirCAD high-strength zirconium oxide.
– 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 Ceram
The versatile layering ceramic is optimally coordinated with the materials of the IPS e.max System.
Matching the shade when using different framework materials is clearly facilitated by the universal
layering diagram and the precise shade coordination. After all, the veneering ceramic is the key to highly
esthetic results within the IPS e.max System – both on lithium disilicate (LS
2
) and zirconium oxide (ZrO
2
).
The unique combination of translucency, brightness and opalescence leads to natural light scattering and
a balanced relationship between brightness and chroma.
In addition to the traditional dentin and incisal materials in A–D, Chromascop and Bleach shades, there is
a sophisticated range of additional materials (Impulse, Essence, Stains, etc.) for individual esthetics during
internal and external characterization. With the Gingiva ceramic materials, true-to-nature gingival areas
are designed, which are particularly important for implant-retained restorations.
