IPS e.max® — CAD Clinical Advantages and Procedures

February 15, 2016

In this presentation, you will be introduced to a relatively new material called IPS e.max® CAD (Ivoclar Vivadent; Amherst, N.Y.). Unlike traditional PFM or zirconia-based restorations, IPS e.max CAD is milled from a single block that maintains a consistent shade throughout. With this material, there is no need to opaque out the dark metal substructure found in PFMs or keep the bright white zirconia substructure from bleeding through the ceramic. This presentation discusses the IPS e.max process used by the laboratory. It also features eight clinical cases showing how IPS e.max may be used for a variety of clinical needs.
