2000 to 2015: Pressing, milling, cutting and the trend to monolithic restorations
Digital techniques for processing dental ceramics started entering dental practices in the mid 1980s. In dental laboratories, the trend towards digital procedures manifested itself around the year 2000. Since then this technology has made considerable inroads in dental laboratories, so that nowadays digitally manufactured restorations such as those made with press ceramics are considered to be state of the art. The interest in digital processing of high-performance ceramics, such as zirconium oxide, to produce frameworks and monolithic restorations has grown quite considerably over the past few years. Due to the fact that zirconium oxide has now become available in various translucency levels, it can now also be used to achieve esthetic results.
Following on from the innovations introduced in the 1990s, the trend-setting all-ceramic IPS e.max system was launched in 2005. The material has set new standards in dental ceramics in terms of its optical and mechanical properties. It is the first modular, fully integrated all-ceramic system of its kind on the market.
It includes highly esthetic, high-strength materials for the press and CAD/CAM techniques and it covers the entire spectrum of dental restorations, ranging from single tooth restorations to long-span bridges. A broad range of translucency levels is available to accommodate the individual needs of patients and the preferred working techniques of dental professionals.
Since the system’s introduction, IPS e.max has clinically proved itself a million times over. Therefore, it is not surprising that the IPS e.max system and by extension lithium disilicate glass-ceramics have become exceedingly popular. What is more, press ceramics, which have been around for almost 25 years, are now also available in the form of pressable multi-coloured ingots for highly esthetic monolithic restorations.
Looking ahead: We are in for an exciting time!
