IPS e.max CAD unites modern milling processing technology with a high-performance material. The lithium disilicate glass-ceramic is manufactured in an innovative technological process, unique in the dental industry. The glass-ceramic is processed for the laboratory in a crystalline intermediate phase. In this “soft” state, the material exhibits its unusual “bluish” color and strength of approximately 160 MPA. In this “blue” phase, the restorations can be manually adjusted or cut-back in a fast and efficient fashion. IPS e.max CAD acquires its final strength of 500 MPa and the desired esthetic characteristics, such as tooth color, translucency and brightness, during the crystallization process.
Indications: veneers, inlay-onlay, single anterior-posterior restorations.
