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 MT:
The MT ingots are provided in the following shades: A1, A2, A3, B1, BL2, BL3 and BL4. These medium-translucency ingots are used in cases where a brighter material than HT and a more translucent material than LT is needed. Restorations made of the MT ingots are ideal for the staining and cut-back techniques.
