There are many questions to ask yourself when choosing crown and bridge materials. IPS e.max® is the next generation of crown and bridge materials.
IPS e.max® is a full contoured, pressed lithium disilicate restoration that features a variety of design options, high strength and “Empress-like” esthetics.
Cement or Bond?
e.max gives you the freedom of choice. If you prefer to cement go ahead. Looking for a stronger crown to tooth interface for a short clinical crown length e.max is bondable.
Anterior or Posterior?
Impact utilizes e.max press the strongest pressable glass ceramic ingot available with a flexural strength of 400 MPa. So it’s strong enough for the posterior. If it’s esthetics you’re looking for, different ingot opacities and cutback techniques make it possible to rival the esthetics of Empress.
Crown or Bridge?
