IPS e.max Ceram Incisal 20 gr - Porcelain Powder on Zircon

Versatile Veneering Ceramic for Lithium Disilicate and Zirconium Oxide

IPS e.max Ceram is a fluorapatite veneering ceramic with proven high aesthetic properties that has been followed and validated for over a decade. This material is a crucial part of the IPS e.max system and is used for veneering IPS e.max lithium disilicate glass ceramics (LS2) and zirconium oxide (ZrO2) substrates. This broad compatibility offers versatile aesthetic solutions in dental restorations, and it can be used on various substrates, including both lithium disilicate and zirconium oxide.

Integrated Veneering System: The integrated veneering system offered by IPS e.max Ceram enables technicians to achieve consistent color harmony regardless of the substrate material used during restoration. This feature ensures aesthetic continuity and compatibility, especially in restorations involving two different materials, such as zirconium and lithium disilicate. Consequently, it enhances efficiency in daily laboratory work by saving both time and cost.

Efficiency and Ease of Use:

• Familiar Modeling Characteristics: One of the main reasons for IPS e.max Ceram's longstanding preference among dental technicians is its familiar modeling characteristics and satisfactory stability. These modeling features allow users to shape restorations more easily and efficiently.
• Excellent Firing Responses: Furthermore, the material’s excellent responses during firing and low shrinkage rate minimize the need for adjustments. Considering that post-firing corrections can be time-consuming and labor-intensive, this characteristic of IPS e.max Ceram provides a significant advantage for technicians. The material maintains its stability during firing, preserving the aesthetic appearance and structural integrity of the restoration.
• Color and Opacity Stability: Even after numerous firings, the color and opacity of the material remain consistent, contributing to the creation of smooth and naturally appearing surfaces.

Cutting-Edge Features: IPS e.max Ceram meets all the expectations for a modern veneering ceramic, providing dental technicians with the flexibility and reliability they need. Additionally, this material allows technicians to complete the final appearance of restorations smoothly and aesthetically flawlessly.

Application Areas for IPS e.max Ceram:

• Crown Applications: IPS e.max Ceram is an ideal choice for all crown applications, restorations done with the cut-back technique, and veneer layering, among various restorative methods.
• Veneer Restorations: These extensive application areas further demonstrate the material’s versatility. Particularly in veneer restorations, excellent aesthetic results can be achieved even with thin layers. Additionally, restorations using the cut-back technique highlight the material’s aesthetic advantages and firing stability.

Advantages:

• Versatile Veneering Ceramic for Lithium Disilicate and Zirconium Oxide: IPS e.max Ceram is a veneering ceramic with a wide range of applications suitable for both lithium disilicate glass ceramic substrates and zirconium oxide substrates. This feature provides dental technicians with the flexibility to achieve high aesthetic results regardless of the substrate material.
• Integrated Veneering System for Consistent Aesthetic Results: The integrated veneering system offered by the material ensures color harmony and aesthetic consistency in restorations, even when different substrate materials are used.
• Ease of Use with Familiar Modeling and Impressive Stability: The familiar modeling characteristics and stability that IPS e.max Ceram has been appreciated for over the years allow technicians to shape restorations easily and enhance the reliability of processes.
• Minimal Shrinkage and Excellent Firing Response: The material shows minimal shrinkage during firing, which significantly reduces the need for post-firing corrections and speeds up the technician's workflow.
• Stable Color and Opacity Over Multiple Firings for Smooth Surfaces: IPS e.max Ceram maintains its color and opacity even after multiple firing cycles, ensuring the creation of smooth and naturally appearing surfaces without compromising aesthetic integrity.

Conclusion: IPS e.max Ceram offers an excellent balance of aesthetics and functionality in restorations, providing the reliability and quality that dental technicians need. This material is an ideal veneering ceramic for modern dental laboratory applications, delivering consistent and high aesthetic results on substrates such as lithium disilicate and zirconium oxide.
