IPS E.MAX
IPS E.max is the ultimate in metal-free esthetics and durability offering high-strength materials. When esthetics cannot be compromised, e.max offers many benefits over PFM. Composing both of Lithium Disilicate and Zirconium Oxide, e.max offers supreme esthetics, versatility, and clinically-proven strength.
The material is used in Crystal Dental Lab in conjunction with either the press or the CAD/CAM technology. Given the high strength of 360-400 MPa, the restorations offer flexible cementation options. Depending on the patient situation, the restorations may be veneered in a highly esthetic manner or, if fabricated as monolithic restorations, stained.
