Block Concept
IPS e.max CAD is available in the A-D and Bleach BL shades as well as in three levels of translucency
(HT, LT, MO) and two sizes (I 12, C 14). From a processing point of view, basically all restorations can
be fabricated from any block. Both the IPS e.max CAD HT and IPS e.max CAD LT blocks are used for
chairside applications (staining technique).
For reasons of esthetics, however, the following processing techniques and indications are recommend-
ed for the individual blocks (translucency levels):
IPS e.max CAD HT (High Translucency)
The HT Blocks are available in 16 A-D and 4 Bleach BL shades and 2 sizes (I 12, C 14). Given their
high translucency, HT blocks are ideally suitable for the fabrication of smaller restorations (e.g. inlays and
onlays). Restorations made of HT blocks convince users with their true-to-nature chameleon effect and
the exceptional adaption to the remaining tooth structure.
IPS e.max CAD LT (Low Translucency)
The LT Blocks are available in 16 A-D and 4 Bleach BL shades and 2 sizes (I 12, C 14). Due to their
high brightness values compared to the HT blocks, LT blocks are ideally suitable for the fabrication of
larger restorations (e.g. anterior and posterior crowns). Restorations made of LT blocks convince users
with their lifelike brightness value and chroma. This prevents the incorporated restorations from graying.
The cut-back technique can also be ideally used for restorations made from LT blocks.
