In the field of aesthetic and restorative dentistry, material selection plays a crucial role in ensuring durability, aesthetics, and long-term oral health. IPS e.max Press and IPS e.max CAD are two outstanding lithium disilicate glass-ceramic materials, offering the perfect combination of strength, fracture resistance, and high aesthetics. Here are three key reasons why this material has become the top choice for dentists and dental technicians.
Superior Strength and Optimal Restoration Performance
IPS e.max lithium disilicate not only provides exceptional aesthetics but also boasts high strength and impressive fracture resistance. While occlusal adjustments using a diamond bur may damage the material’s surface, studies show that when the abraded surface is properly polished, it does not affect the clinical durability or lifespan of the restoration. This is a significant advantage that not all materials on the market can achieve.
Thermal Insulation and Reduced Tooth Sensitivity
One of the standout advantages of IPS e.max is its excellent thermal insulation properties. This glass-ceramic material helps absorb and balance temperature changes, protecting teeth from extreme heat or cold. This plays a crucial role in minimizing tooth sensitivity, ensuring greater comfort for patients after restoration.
Strong Bonding with Tooth Structure, Reducing the Risk of Decay
IPS e.max lithium disilicate forms a strong bond with natural tooth structure when processed using etching and bonding techniques. Acid etching creates a robust micromechanical bond between the restoration material and enamel while minimizing micro-movement of the restoration.
This prevents bacterial infiltration, thereby reducing the risk of cavities and pulp inflammation. The process includes etching the tooth surface with phosphoric acid to remove bacteria, followed by applying a desensitizing agent to protect the tooth before bonding the restoration with a dentin adhesive. As a result, the need for future endodontic treatment is nearly eliminated.
Conclusion
With its outstanding strength, thermal insulation properties, and secure bonding to tooth structure, IPS e.max Press and IPS e.max CAD have become the trusted choice in restorative dentistry. The combination of advanced technology and precise procedures ensures optimal treatment outcomes, providing the highest satisfaction for patients. If you are looking for a comprehensive restoration solution, IPS e.max is the ideal choice for both dentists and patients alike.
