Reinforced glass-ceramics has been successfully used in all-ceramics in press technology for 15 years. Glass-ceramics can not only be just pressed but also milled by means of a state-of-the-art CAD/CAM technique.

IPS e.max Press are new highly aesthetic lithium disilicate glass-ceramic ingots with optimized homogeneity and high strength. They allow the fabrication of restorations with a high accuracy of fit. The strength of 400 MPa which has been unmatched to date by glass-ceramics enables conventional cementation.

In cases where the patient has non-vital teeth, it is also possible to produce pressed all-ceramic restorations with the help of IPS e.max Press, since the ingots are also available with high opacity.

IPS e.max CAD is based on the same materials technology as IPS e.max Press and ideally unites the CAD/CAM processing technique with a high-performance lithium disilicate ceramic. The IPS e.max CAD blocks are used for fabricating tooth-coloured restorations with high strength in an innovative manufacturing process.

Indications:
	Anterior and posterior crowns
	Anterior and premolar bridges (only IPS e.max Press)
	Implant superstructures

Independent of the processing, both glass-ceramics IPS e.max Press and IPS e.max CAD offer a natural shade effect and promote light transmission into the restoration.

Thanks to the high strength values, IPS e.max Press and CAD restorations can be adhesively, self-adhesively and conventionally cemented.

Product Highlights:
	Highly aesthetic lithium disilicate glass-ceramic
	Lifelike aesthetics independent of the shade of the prepared tooth
	Adhesive, self-adhesive and conventional cementation due to the unrivalled strength of 360-400 MPa
