IPS e.max® CAD is a Computer-Aided Designed lithium disilicate ceramic restoration that delivers an exceptional fit, precise contours, perfect contacts, a high flexural strength of 360MPa, and natural-like aesthetics unaffected by the shade of the prepared tooth.
Also designed and milled with CAD/CAM technology, Layered Zirconia (or Cercon®) is a zirconia substructure with porcelain overlay. When needing to meet the demands for both strength and natural esthetics, Layered Zirconia is the ideal alternative to conventional PFM restorations.
Zr-40℠ is a fully-contoured zirconia restoration with no porcelain overlay. Zr-40℠ crowns are designed and milled using CAD/CAM technology and glazed to a smooth surface. With a flexural strength of 850 MPa, the solid zirconia crowns and bridges are nearly unbreakable. Solid zirconia has quickly become the preferred replacement for full-cast and porcelain to metal restorations in the posterior. Zr-40℠ crowns and bridges are perfect for patients who clench and grind their teeth.
IPS Empress® is a homogenous leucite-based ceramic that scatters light like natural enamel to blend seamlessly with the surrounding dentition and deliver accuracy in fit. Its wear compatibility, true-to-nature esthetics, and improved strength of 160 MPa has proven itself with over 15 years of clinical success.
