IPS e.max
IPS e.max is a high-strength, all-ceramic material used in dentistry for various restorative treatments. Here are some key points about IPS e.max.
IPS e.max is made from lithium disilicate glass-ceramic, which provides excellent strength and aesthetics.
It has a high flexural strength of around 500-530 MPa, making it suitable for both anterior and posterior restorations3.
IPS e.max offers a natural appearance with its range of translucency levels and shades, making it ideal for visible teeth.
It can be used for crowns, veneers, inlays, onlays, and three-unit anterior bridges. It is also suitable for minimally invasive preparations3.
IPS e.max has a proven track record with a high survival rate and long-term clinical success.
