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 esthetics 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 esthetic 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 MT (Medium Translucency) ingots
The MT ingots are available in selected Bleach BL and A–D shades.
