IPS e.max CAD
The highly esthetic lithium disilicate glass-ceramic (LS2)
The world's best-selling glass-ceramic!
97.2% survival rate over a period of 10 years.
Lithium-disilicate glass ceramic blocks. To produce fully anatomic restorations with maximum stability, resilience as well as proven clinical properties. The blocks are processed in a "soft" intermediate state in which the innovative material shows its characteristic bluish colour. In a quick crystallisation process the restoration gains its final stability and the desired aesthetic properties such as tooth shade, translucence and brightness.

Convincing Quality of IPS e.max CAD
97.2% survival rate over a period of 10 years
Advantages:
High-strength and tough material
More than 10 years of ongoing quality testing show that IPS e.max CAD offers a high biaxial flexural strength of 530 MPa[2]. In addition, it shows a high fracture toughness of 2.11 MPa m1/2[3]. This combination is particularly sought after in minimally invasive dentistry.
Maximum versatility
From crowns, occlusal veneers, and inlays to hybrid abutments – IPS e.max CAD covers a unrivalled scope of applications in CAD/CAM glass-ceramics.
More than 10 years of clinical evidence
Clinical long-term success and scientifically documented results – the blue block has been on the market since 2005 and has since proven itself clinically.
High esthetics
High esthetic standards are fulfilled due to the four different levels of translucency, the A–D shades and the special Bleach and Impulse shades.
Versatile cementation options
IPS e.max CAD restorations can be cemented adhesively, self-adhesively or conventionally, depending on the restoration type.
10-year guarantee
IPS e.max guarantee on all IPS e.max CAD restorations.
Physical data:
