IPS e.max CAD LT (chairside)

The demand for all-ceramic restorations has considerably increased over the past few years. Consequently, all-ceramic restorations have become an integral part of aesthetic dentistry. Economical CAD/CAM techniques and digitalization are gaining in importance in dentistry.
Both IPS Empress and IPS e.max offer you tailor-made products for chairside use. You can choose the preferred strength, aesthetics and cementation technique to fabricate all-ceramic single tooth restorations in an efficient chairside procedure.

Innovation in the CAD/CAM Technology

With IPS e.max CAD LT you can benefit from an innovative material which offers more than pure performance. In fact, it effectively combines strength, esthetics and efficiency. For the first time ever, fully anatomical, all-ceramic crowns can be directly fabricated chairside with IPS e.max CAD. Subsequently, conventional cementation can be used to efficiently and easily place the restorations.

You can take advantage of the impressive material properties of IPS e.max CAD. The lithium disilicate glass ceramic is efficiently milled in its “soft” state in the CEREC from Sirona. At this stage, the material exhibits an unusual bluish colour.
During a subsequent short (approx. 30 min) crystallization process in the Programat CS in your dental office, the IPS e.max CAD restorations attain their final physical properties including the high strength of 360 MPa, which enables conventional or self-adhesive cementation.
In addition, the restorations aquire the desired aesthetic properties, such as tooth colour, excellent translucency and brightness.

What are the benefits? Fast machining of materials and efficient crystallization and cementation processes. High strength, esthetic conventionally cementable all-ceramic crowns can be fabricated in about one hour!
