All-Ceramics Systems

• IPS e.max

IPS e.max is a modern and innovative system which covers the entire spectrum of all-ceramic indications ranging from thin veneers to crowns and 10-unit bridges. IPS e.max offers impeccable esthetic restorations, which are also characterized by high mechanical strength.

Depending on the case at hand and the required strength, the most suitable all-ceramic material can be chosen.

• • Lithium disilicate (LS2), which demonstrates superb esthetic properties, is used to restore single teeth in the anterior and posterior region.
  • The zirconium oxide ceramic IPS e.max ZirCAD, however, is the material of choice for large restorations, for example, posterior bridges, which are exposed to high masticatory forces.

• IPS Empress System

The IPS Empress System offers all-ceramics dental restorations with the benefits of high precision and aesthetic appearance. More than 33 million restorations have been fabricated with the IPS Empress boasts material in the last 15 years. As a result, the system has gained a reputation for producing long-lasting, natural-looking results and maintaining high quality standards.

The IPS Empress material is made of an extremely homogeneous leucite-based ceramic, which scatters light like natural enamel and blends in well with its surroundings. Restorations fabricated with the material exhibit lifelike translucency and a true-to-nature appearance.

The highly aesthetic all-ceramic single tooth restorations, such as inlays, onlays, crowns and veneers blend in seamlessly with the surrounding dentition.

• • IPS Empress Esthetic: Press ceramic product; demonstrates exceptional light-optical properties and high strength.
  • IPS Empress CAD: CAD/CAM processing technology allows fabrication of IPS Empress all-ceramic restorations chairside while at the same time demonstrates exceptional light-optical properties and high strength.

Metal-Ceramics Systems

• IPS d.SIGN

IPS d.SIGN is composed of fluorapatite glass-ceramic material that has true-to-nature properties ranging from the light optical features to the enamel-like abrasion behavior. Aesthetic benefits:

• • True-to-nature light scattering with high translucency and brightness of the ceramic enabling thorough masking of the metal framework
  • Well-balanced relationship between chroma and brightness similar to the natural counterpart
  • High surface quality

• IPS InLine / IPS InLine PoM

IPS InLine is the conventional metal ceramic layering technique while IPS InLine PoM is the precision Press-on-Metal Ceramic technique. IPS InLine is an economical option for a variety of clinical applications and offers excellent shade matching with minimal time and effort. IPS InLine PoM offers precision results by maximizing shade selection, function and surface structure of the restoration. Other benefits of IPS InLine PoM are efficient processing (achieved with little technical effort and expenditure of time) and high quality aesthetic results.

• IPS Classic

IPS Classic is a well-proven metal-ceramic system. Some of its key features are:

• • Efficient and economical to process
  • High quality aesthetic results
  • Easy handling
  • Special ceramic materials for individualized characterization

Cost of dental ceramics

The cost will be determined by the dental treatment that will be needed – veneers, crowns, bridges, and your particular case.
