Leucite glass-ceramics

IPS Empress CAD restorations have been in clinical use for decades. Due to the pronounced chameleon effect and natural fluorescence[1] the material faithfully mimics the natural appearance of teeth. IPS Empress CAD is known for exceptional esthetics and can be polished to a high gloss quickly and easily: grind – polish – done. The innovative polychromatic IPS Empress CAD Multi block is a special highlight in this range. The block features a natural progression of shade and fluorescence from dentin to incisal.[1]

Processing options:

After the grinding process, the restorations can be: – polished – optionally: stained, glazed

Types of restorations:

• Crowns
• Inlays, onlays, partial crowns
• Veneers

Benefits:

• Highly esthetic restorations, efficiently created
• Material with a flexural strength of 185 MPa[2] that has been in clinical use for decades
• Optimum adjustment to the natural tooth structure due to the chameleon effect

Block sizes:
