Veneering ceramics play a key role in the esthetics of a restoration. Only a subtle interplay of shade, translucency, opalescence, fluorescence and brightness allows for a lively appearance of the natural and restored dentition. IPS e.max® Ceram is a highly esthetic fluorapatite layering ceramic that offers a proven track record of over ten years. The material forms part of the IPS e.max system and is designed for the veneering of frameworks made of IPS e.max lithium disilicate glass-ceramics (LS2) and zirconium oxide (ZrO2), e.g. IPS e.max ZirCAD and Zenostar®*. A consistent layering...

Efficiency and ease of handling Intuitive modelling properties and a pleasant stability are characteristics that have delighted users for many years. Exceptional firing behaviour and low shrinkage minimize the need for adjustments. The materials do not change their shade even if they are fired several times and they demonstrate a compact surface finish. They thus meet all the expectations placed on a state-of-the-art veneering ceramic. IPS e.max Ceram materials are designed for the customized layering of full-coverage veneers, the cut-back technique and the layering of veneers.

IPS e.max Ceram – a 10-year success story IPS e.max® Ceram on IPS e.max Press (Thorsten Michel) Natural-looking restorations Until a few years ago, lithium disilicate and zirconium oxide were only available in medium or high opacity versions. For many years, these materials have been successfully used to provide frameworks that are more opaque than recently developed variations and reflect large amounts of light. The amount of light reflected causes the restorations to look brighter. The classic IPS e.max Ceram Dentin and Incisal materials are tailored to the brightness of these frameworks...

Extended range of possibilities with IPS e.max Ceram IPS e.max® Ceram (Power) on IPS e.max Press (Oliver Brix) Increased brightness with "Power Dentin" and "Power Incisal" Today's translucent substructures reflect less light, reducing the brightness of the completed restoration. To redress the reduction in brightness, the IPS e.max Ceram range has been extended to include two new materials: "Power Dentin" and "Power Incisal". These two materials provide a natural brightness on translucent frameworks without necessitating a modification of the customary layering scheme. What is more, the...
