In the early 90’s, press technology revolutionized the use of ceramics in the
fabrication of fixed restorations/prostheses. Pressable ceramics allowed us to combine the strength of a reinforced glass ceramic core with the esthetic results of conventional layering porcelains. The latest IPS e-max line of products by Ivolcar Vivadent comprises highly esthetic and high-strength materials for the press technology.

 Highlights of the IPS e-max system
 - Highly esthetic and high-strength all-ceramic materials can be combined
 - One layering ceramic for glass- and zirconium oxide
 - Predictable shade results and similar clinical behaviour even in different    restoration
 - Lithium disilicate glass ceramic with a flexural strength of 400 Mpa.
 - Maximum versatility provided with a modular system
 - Adhesive, self-adhesive and conventional cementation

IPS Empress Esthetic
Another Ivoclar Vivadent product which has evolved into the “gold standard” in Press Technology is the IPS Empress system. Introduced about 15 years ago, the IPS Empress material is made of an extremely homogeneous leucite-reinforced glass ceramic which scatters light like natural enamel and blends in seamlessly with the surrounding dentition, making it the material of choice for highly esthetic all-ceramic single tooth restorations (inlays, onlays, anterior veneers or crowns).

 Highlights of the IPS Empress system
 - More than 15 years of experience with leucite glass-ceramics
 - Leucite based glass ceramic exhibits excellent light-optical properties, resulting
   in lifelike translucency and a true-to-nature appearance of the fabricated    restorations
 - Material exhibits a flexural strength value of 160 Mpa
 - Exhibits high precision and accuracy of fit
