IPS e.max Press is an innovative lithium disilicate glass-ceramic ingot for the press technique.
The lithium disilicate (LS2) IPS e.max Press ingots are available in five translucency levels and in an Impulse version. The polychromatic IPS e.max Press Multi ingots are particularly attractive, showing a lifelike progression of colour.
The ingots are selected to suit the case at hand and the preferred processing technique (staining, cut-back or layering technique). The restorations are characterized or veneered using the matching IPS e.max Ceram staining materials or layering ceramic. The results look very natural, regardless of the shade of the prepared tooth.
IPS e.max Press restorations can be placed with a variety of proven luting materials, which are available for a wide spectrum of indications. Crowns and bridges made of IPS e.max Press accommodate self-adhesive and conventional luting protocols (e.g. SpeedCEM). Inlays, (thin) veneers and occlusal veneers are placed with the adhesive technique (e.g. using Variolink Esthetic).
IPS e.max Press HT:
HT ingots are supplied in 16 A–D and 4 Bleach BL shades. Due to their high translucency – similar to that of natural enamel – these ingots are suitable for producing small restorations (e.g. inlays). Their lifelike "chameleon effect" allows these restorations to adapt seamlessly to the natural tooth structure. The restorations are efficiently customized with the staining technique.
