IPS e.max Press is the reliable lithium disilicate glass-ceramic for the press technology.[1] It is used to fabricate single-tooth restorations, hybrid abutment restorations and 3-unit bridges (premolar region). IPS e.max Press combines aesthetics with a high flexural strength of 470 MPa.[2] Combined with the high clinical evidence[1]. the ceramic offers safety[3] and for the laboratory the possibility to fabricate aesthetic and stable restorations.
The IPS e.max Press ingot range comprises 5 translucency levels and impulse ingots; depending n the translucency level in Group, A-D or Bleach BL shades. Depending on the number of restorations to be fabricated, the ingots are available in two sizes (Small and Large). IPS e.max Press is part of the IPS e.max all-ceramic system.
IPS e.max® Press LT (Low Translucency) Ingot
The LT ingots are available in 16 A-D shades and 4 Bleach shades.
