Specification :

The IPS e.max system is composed of a number of independent components. Therefore, you can choose the materials that are most suited to fulfilling the requirements of each individual case.
The system includes an innovative lithium disilicate ( LS2) material, which is suitable for fabricating single-tooth restorations, as well as a high-strength zirconium oxide material, which is designed for producing long-span bridges. The fact that a common layering scheme is used together with predictable shade matching represents a considerable advantage in the fabrication of combination work.
A common layering ceramic is responsible for these outstanding results.

The demand for aesthetic all-ceramic restorations has considerably increased over the past few years. Consequently, all-ceramic restorations have become an integral part of aesthetic dentistry. CAD/ CAM techniques and high-strength zirconium oxide ceramics are gaining in importance in dentistry.
IPS e.max comprises highly aesthetic and high-strength materials for both the PRESS and CAD/ CAM technique.

IPS e.max® , from Ivoclar, is a new all-ceramic system which offers a wide range of restorative options for both pressable and CAD/ CAM technology. This modern and innovative product covers the entire spectrum of all-ceramic indications ranging from thin veneers to 10 unit bridges.

How it works?
The system includes a number of components and materials that may be used depending on the requirements of the case; IPS e.max lithium disilicate, zirconium oxide, and ceram. The e.max ceram is the layering ceramic used to veneer lithium disilicate or zirconia oxide frameworks.
