Usage
Indications
– Characterization and veneering of IPS e.max Press restorations
– Characterization and veneering of IPS e.max ZirPress restorations
– Characterization and veneering of IPS e.max CAD restorations
– Characterization and veneering of IPS e.max ZirCAD frameworks
– Characterizing and veneering Straumann ® Anatomic IPS e.max ®
Abutments
– Characterization and veneering of frameworks, implant
abutments and implant superstructures made of
– sintered zirconium oxide and/or HIP zirconium oxide, as well as
– presintered zirconium oxide
and demonstrating a CTE range of 10.5-11.0 x 10 -6 K -1
[100-500 °C].
– Layered veneers on fire-resistant investment materials
– Creation of gingival portions on restorations made of IPS e.max
ZirCAD or IPS e.max ZirPress
Contraindications
– Patients with severely reduced residual dentitions
– Patients suffering from bruxism
– Any other use not listed in the indications
Important processing restrictions
If the following notes are not observed, successful work with
IPS e.max Ceram cannot be ensured:
– The necessary veneering layer thickness must be observed.
– The required layer thickness relation between the framework and
the layering ceramic must be observed.
– IPS e.max Ceram materials must not be mixed with other dental
ceramics
– Zirconium oxide frameworks with a CTE different from the one
stipulated must not be veneered.
– Veneering of zirconium oxide frameworks which were not con-
ditioned according to the stipulations for IPS e.max ZirCAD, e.g.
blasting with Al
2
O
3
.
– Metal-frameworks must not be veneered.
– Other pressed ceramics (e.g. IPS Empress ® Esthetic) must not be
veneered.
– Aluminium oxide frameworks (e.g. Procera Alumina,
Vita In-Ceram 200 Al Cubes) must not be veneered.
– Slipped and CAD/CAM-fabricated Vita InCeram frameworks (e.g.
In-Ceram Classic Spinell, Alumina, Zirconia) must not be
veneered.
– Cast and CAD/CAM-fabricated titanium oxide must not be
veneered.
– IPS e.max Ceram ZirLiner and Margin materials should not be
used on IPS e.max Press and IPS e.max CAD.
– Inlays, onlays without framework (CAD / ZrO
2
/ Press)
Side effects
If a patient is known to be allergic to any of the components of
IPS e.max Ceram, the material should not be used.
Warnings:
– Ethyl acetate is highly inflammable – keep it away from sources
of ignition. Do not inhale the vapours.
– Hexane is highly inflammable and detrimental to health. Avoid
contact with the skin and eyes. Do not inhale the vapours and
keep the material away from sources of ignition.
– Do not inhale ceramic dust during finishing – use suction
equipment and a face-mask.
