The first patented metal-ceramic containing oxyapatite

STYLE. A brief look at metal-ceramics Metal-ceramics systems are used 365 days of the year. They are a constant companion in the dental lab. They are used as a matter of course, and the results achieved with them are predictable. Their clinical reliability is proven. Their contribution to the success of the dental lab is quite considerable. Metal-ceramic techniques are simply state-of-the-art. Ivoclar Vivadent continues to build on its forty years of experience in developing metal-ceramic systems and has turned to exploring entirely new possibilities: The result is a metal-ceramic the like of...

What's new about IPS Style ? ® IPS Style® is the first patented metal-ceramic material to contain the oxyapatite crystals. These crystals in combination with leucite and ­­ fluor-apatite crystals and the matching glass phases are responsible for the excellent handling characteristics and optical properties of this low-fusing mixed glass-ceramic. The IPS Style ceramic system is designed for the classical CTE range. It comprises components for the traditional one and multi-layer techniques. IPS Style is not only easy and efficient to use, but also highly esthetic: The ceramic is coordinated with...

MAKE IT FAST. IPS Style is fast... ® Optimized shrinkage behaviour High edge strength The optimized shrinkage of IPS Style allows technicians to achieve the desired results quickly and efficiently. The restoration contours are virtually impeccable already after the first firing. The sculpted shape, the finely created details as well as the morphology of the restoration remain unchanged during the firing process. This reduces the need for multiple firings and therefore saves valuable time. Shrinkage behaviour of the ceramic and wetting properties of the opaquer – a comparison: Under standardized...

... extremely fast Layering with only one material The IPS Style layering materials for the traditional multi-layer technique considerably simplify routine procedures. The single-layer ceramic IPS Style Ceram One further enhances the efficiency of the laboratory. It allows the fabrication of full-contour, esthetic metal-ceramic restorations to be realized more easily. IPS Style Ceram One comprises dentin and incisal materials, which are optimally matched – for true-to-nature shading and translucency.

MAKE IT EASY. IPS Style is easy to use... ® Non-slump consistency, intuitive handling IPS Style is used in the same way as conventional metal-ceramics systems. There's only one big difference: IPS Style exhibits outstanding stability and excellent modelling properties. The layering materials remain exactly where they have been placed. IPS Style benefits the working style of both newcomers and experienced users – for outstanding results.

... and makes life easier Approved for all frameworks Coordinated shade system IPS Style is suitable for all types of frameworks in the indicated CTE range, irrespective of the system used to produce them: precious metal or non-precious metal alloys, digital or analogue, casting or milling. On non-precious metal alloys, e.g. Colado® CAD CoCr4 or Colado® CC, IPS Style can even be used without a ceramic bonder – for unlimited functionality in just a few working steps. The metal-ceramic IPS Style and the all-ceramic IPS e.max® system follow one common shade scheme. As a result, complex clinical...

MAKE IT NATURAL. IPS Style is esthetic… ® Infinite play of colours All the shaded IPS Style components, ranging from the opaquer to the incisal materials, contain oxyapatite crystals. The high brightness of IPS Style produces natural-looking results in the mouth. Regardless of the number of firing cycles needed to complete the restoration, the results show excellent shade stability. The wide range of materials accommodates a myriad of individual requirements.

... and imparts an esthetic effect of depth The effect of oxyapatite crystals Conventional layering ceramic Exceptionally bright material IPS Style® Layering ceramic (diagram) Through light scattering and diffuse reflection, the fine needle-like fluorapatite crystals enhance the brightness of the material. Needle-shaped oxyapatite crystals have a high capacity to reflect light, which helps to create an effect of depth. The content of oxyapatite crystals varies in the different materials, ranging from the opaquer to the incisal materials – for the selective adjustment of the translucency. Cluster...

MAKE IT UNIQUE. IPS Style is perfect for laboratories … ® IPS Ivocolor The versatile IPS Ivocolor staining and glazing assortment is a component of the IPS Style ceramic system. It is suitable for the characterization of restorations. IPS Ivocolor is coordinated with all* the press, CAD and layering ceramics from Ivoclar Vivadent, including the all-ceramic IPS e.max®. One shade system for many ceramics. Digital Shade Assistant (DSA) Exclusive design paired with smart technology: The patented DSA shade selection function of the high-tech Programat® P710 ceramic furnace allows the tooth colour...

… and brings perfection to dental practices Suitable cementation Restorations layered with IPS Style can be cemented with either the versatile luting composite Multilink® Automix, the self-adhesive resin cement SpeedCEM® Plus or the glass ionomer cement Vivaglass® CEM. The esthetic luting composite Variolink® Esthetic, which is designed for the placement of demanding ceramic restorations, is recommended for the cementation of IPS Style veneers. Care and protection Restorations made with IPS Style need the same type of professional cleaning and long-term care as the gingiva and the oral mucosa....
