Block concept IPS e.max CAD
IPS e.max CAD is basically available in three levels of translucency (HT, LT, MO) and three block sizes
(I12, C14, B40). Depending on the translucency level, different block sizes are available. For esthetic
reasons, IPS e.max CAD HT blocks are used in the IPS e.max CAD-on technique.
IPS e.max CAD HT (High Translucency)
IPS e.max CAD HT (High Translucency) B40 blocks are available in 9 A–D shades and 1 Bleach BL
shade. For the fabrication of IPS CAD-on bridge restorations, only B40 blocks are used. Due to their
translucency, IPS e.max CAD HT blocks are ideally suitable for the fabrication of IPS e.max CAD-on
restorations in the staining technique. IPS e.max CAD-on restorations fabricated from HT blocks exhibit a
lifelike brightness value and translucency. To characterize and glaze IPS e.max CAD-on restorations, only
the IPS e.max CAD Crystall./Shades, Stains and Glaze are used.
