E.max

IPS E.max® Press/CAD is a reformulated glass ceramic consisting of lithium disilicate that delivers outstanding esthetics. Its ability to balance versatility and simplicity yields confidence when restoring even the most complicated cases.

IPS E.max® is a lithium disilicate glass ceramic that has optimized translucency, durability and strength for full anatomical restorations. New technologies and optimized processing parameters have evolved beyond previously available lithium disilicate ceramics for predictable, vibrant results.
