IPS e.max ZirCAD Prime is suitable for the fabrication of Full contour 4-unit and multi-unit bridges with a maximum of 2 pontics.
Flexural Strength:
IPS e.max ZirCAD Prime: 650 MPa (incisal) / 1200 MPa (dentin)
IPS e.max ZirCAD Prime Esthetic: 650 MPa (incisal) / 850 MPa (dentin)
IPS e.max ZirCAD Prime Esthetic is a specialist disc that allows natural-looking crowns to be created efficiently
IPS e.max ZirCAD Prime Esthetic has progressively higher translucency in the incisal zone. The compaction of the discs by means of 'Cold Isostatic Pressing' (CIP) ensures not only an enhanced microstructure but also optimised translucency.

We recommend polishing the occlusal surface before glazing, as the glaze layer may have only limited durability when it comes into contact with the antagonists. If the cusp of the antagonist has contact with a smooth surface after the glaze has worn off, polishing counteracts the wear of the antagonist cusp. It is not imperative that IPS e.max ZirCAD is glazed. The material is easy to polish with suitable ceramic polishing systems.
IPS e.max ZirCAD restorations can be cemented adhesively, self-adhesive, or conventionally. For conventional cementation (e.g. ZirCAD Cement), however, an appropriately retentive preparation design must be observed. If this is not possible, adhesive or self-adhesive cementation should be preferred, e,g. with Variolink Esthetic or SpeedCEM. Plus it is not advisable to use traditional phosphate cements, as they would negatively influence the light transmission of the all-ceramic and therefore compromise the aesthetic appearance of the all-ceramic restorations.
Yes. To ensure a chemical bond, the inner aspect must be blasted with AL2 O3 25 – 70 µm, or AL2 O3, 70 – 110 µm, at 1.5 bar. This applies to conventional, self-adhesive or adhesive cementation. For adhesive cementation, conditioning with Monobond Plus is required. With conventional and self-adhesive cementation, conditioning is not necessary.
