The IPS e.max Press Multi ingots revolutionize the press technique. They are composed of clinically proven lithium disilicate glass-ceramic (LS2), which exhibits a high flexural strength of 500 MPa. The ingots show a graduated level of shade and translucency similar to that of natural teeth: The chroma and opacity of the material are higher in the cervical and dentin region, and the incisal areas are more highly translucent. 

High strength and stability 

IPS e.max-LS2 crowns have been producing impressive results in the posterior region for many years due to their high strength and stability. Now, the ability to press multi-colored, natural-looking crowns eliminates the need to follow time-consuming layering methods. Highly efficient results are achieved in a single press sequence. Press in multicolor, then glaze and finish! 

The IPS e.max Press Multi ingots are available in one size and in the following shades: A1, A2, A3, A3.5, B1, B2, C1, C2, D2 and BL2. 

The intelligent, user-friendly Programat EP 3010 and EP 5010 press furnaces are fully compatible with the IPS e.max Press materials. Innovative technology has been developed and patented to process the new polychromatic IPS e.max Press Multi material*.

*A software update is available for the Programat EP 3000 and EP 5000 furnaces and for the EP 3010 and EP 5010 to enable pressing of IPS e.max Press Multi. 

Indications 

• Anterior and posterior crowns 

• Veneers 

• Hybrid abutment crowns 

Comprised of biocompatible lithium disilicate, IPS e.max Press provides the fit, form and function of a pressed ceramic with maximum aesthetic characteristics, and exceptional flexural strength at 400 MPa.

Available in Various Degrees of Translucency

IPS e.max Press ingots are available in varying degrees of translucency for maximum versatility. Ingots come in the High Translucency (HT) created for inlays, onlays and veneers, Low Translucency (LT) which is ideal for creating one-step fully anatomical restorations, Medium Opacity (MO) is intended for devitalized, slightly discolored preparations, and High Opacity (HO) is for preparations that are non-vital and severely discolored. The LT ingots are available in the 9 most popular A-D shades as well as 4 contemporary bleach shades.

Conventional or Adhesive Bonding

Due to their high strength, the restorations can be conventionally cemented. Alternatively, they can be adhesively bonded. This provides maximum flexibility to address clinical needs.

Full Contour or Cut-Back / Build-up Technique

IPS e.max restorations are available in two forms. You can choose full contour that provides high strength and beautiful aesthetics as an alternative to zirconia and precious metal. For more demanding cases, we can fabricate restorations utilizing the cut-back and build-up technique. Final veneering with IPS e.max Ceram, a proprietary nano-fluorapatite layering ceramic, offers unparalleled esthetics.

• Outstanding aesthetics combined with high flexural strength

• Exceptional wear profile on the antagonist tooth, even kinder than natural enamel

• 5 year clinical data

• Conventional or adhesive cementation options for clinical flexibility

We are confident that we can provide you with the high quality you have come to expect from our laboratory in this new and versatile all-ceramic restoration.
