Product Information

IPS

Material

IPS e.max Ceram is a low-fusing

nano-ﬂuorapatite glass-ceramic

which permits the veneering and

characterization of restorations

fabricated using either the press

technology and/or the CAD/CAM

technology. This glass-ceramic,

which contains nano-ﬂuorapatite

crystals, demonstrates a crystal structure similar to that of vital

teeth. The optical properties are controlled by the nano-

ﬂuorapatite crystals in the size range of 100–300 nm and micro-

ﬂuorapatite crystals with a length of 1–2 µm. The individual

IPS e.max Ceram materials contain different concentrations of the

apatite crystals, which then enable a unique and adjustable

combination of translucency, brightness and opalescence,

depending on the type of layering material. The IPS e.max ZirLiners

are yet another innovation of this new material concept. They

enable an exceptionally good bond with the zirconium oxide frame-

work and demonstrate high light transmitting capability coupled

with high ﬂuorescence. They thus make the white and not very

translucent zirconium oxide frameworks look as if they have been

shaded and permit the adjustment of the basic zirconium oxide

shade of the framework to the shade of the IPS e.max Press and

IPS e.max CAD glass-ceramics. In this way, the achieved layering

concept permits the fabrication of highly esthetic restorations that

demonstrate optimum stability of shape both on shaded/translucent

glass-ceramic frameworks and on less translucent zirconium oxide

frameworks. The uniform material composition and, consequently,

homogeneous clinical properties, irrespective of the framework

material used, underlines the comprehensive IPS e.max restorative

concept.

IPS e.max Ceram is based on the tried-and-tested shade concept of

other Ivoclar Vivadent veneering materials. In this way, a continuous

concept covering composites, metal-ceramics and all-ceramics has

been achieved. The easy application makes the time-consuming

re-familiarization with the individual veneering materials a thing of

the past.
