Maximize the Esthetic and Strength of Metal-Free Restorations
IPS e.max is a monolithic, lithium disilicate ceramic that delivers outstanding esthetic and precision fit. It is an affordable alternative to PFMs and zirconia-based restorations.
With IPS e.max, you can offer your patients beautiful restorations that demonstrate high mechanical strength. Its unique formulation provides an average flexural strength of 500 MPa, making it the ideal high-strength solution for single-unit anterior and posterior crowns, veneers, inlays, onlays, screw-retained implant crowns, three-unit anterior bridges, or restorations with minimum preparation dimensions.
IPS e.max is a registered trademark of Ivoclar Vivadent.
Clinicians Report® Ceramic Crown Study
After more than eight years of clinical use in the independent Clinicians Report® study (Nov., 2018, Vol. 11, Issue 11), IPS e.max CAD delivered a 95% survival rate. The 5% failure was due to a breakdown in the cementation of the crown and not the lithium disilicate material itself. When comparing this data to other glass-based products at only one year of clinical use, it is clear to see why more dentists are reaching for IPS e.max CAD.
Clinical Studies
This patient felt that his existing PFMs did not appear natural.
All-ceramic IPS e.max crowns were chosen for their lifelike esthetics and ease of cementation.
This patient had multiple teeth with sever decay. IPS e.max crowns were placed on teeth #6—11. Root canals were also needed.
After the endodontic post-and-core procedures were completed, teeth #6, #7, & #9 began to darken. IPS e.max blocks out dark stump shades.
This patient had an existing amalgam and recurrent decay on tooth #5. Upon removal, it was evident a full-coverage crown would be required.
Because the patient was concerned about metal showing in the mouth, IPS e.max was used. Note its lifelike esthetics.

- Slide 3
In [my] case, it did a great job of blocking out a dark root and a gold post. It is notable that IPS e.max has no understructure, yet it can still be cemented conventionally and block out dark stump shades.
Indications
IPS e.max is ideal for anterior single crowns, inlays, onlays, veneers and bridges up to 3 units.
