IPS E.MAX CERAM – NATURAL BEAUTY AND HIGH-END ESTHETICS FOR DENTAL TECHNICIANS

In the pursuit of creating restorations that are perfect in both function and esthetics, dental technicians are constantly challenged by the demands for accurate shade matching, translucency, durability, and natural appearance. IPS e.max Ceram, the premium layering ceramic system from Ivoclar, is the ideal solution to help you achieve these goals with ease, consistency, and creative flexibility.

Consistent Esthetics – Anywhere, Anytime

One of the most outstanding features of IPS e.max Ceram lies in its excellent balance between brightness and chroma. The classic Dentin and Incisal materials are specifically designed to match the standard A–D shade guide, allowing technicians to reproduce natural tooth colors with precision and minimal adjustment.

For cases that require a brighter-than-usual appearance – such as esthetic anterior restorations – the Power Dentin and Power Incisal shades provide enhanced brightness without changing the standard layering protocol. Whether you’re working on a translucent or opaque substructure, the final result remains natural and beautiful.

Unleash Your Creativity with IPS e.max Ceram Selection

To elevate artistic control, Ivoclar has developed the IPS e.max Ceram Selection – a collection of twelve unique Enamel and Effect shades that offer:

  • Lifelike optical effects such as grey, amber, ivory nuances, and cervical halo reflections.
  • Enhanced depth and subtle gradient transitions between layers.
  • Greater customization for each restoration based on the patient’s individual characteristics, rather than relying solely on standard shades.

Thanks to their vivid colors and natural light-reflecting properties, technicians can now replicate enamel and dentin characteristics with exceptional realism – a growing demand among today’s esthetically driven patients.

Fully Compatible with IPS Ivocolor Stain and Glaze System

To ensure a smooth finishing process, IPS e.max Ceram is fully compatible with the IPS Ivocolor system – a modern stain and glaze solution. This allows technicians to:

  • Easily adjust shades after ceramic firing.
  • Create brilliant translucency and natural light reflection.
  • Achieve consistent coloration across different ceramic materials.

Versatile Indications – Broad Applications

IPS e.max Ceram isn’t limited to single-unit restorations. It is widely applicable to a variety of techniques, including:

  • Layering over lithium disilicate frameworks (such as IPS e.max Press or e.max CAD).
  • Veneering zirconia substructures (e.g., IPS e.max ZirCAD).
  • Creating layered veneers that are thin, bright, and highly esthetic.
  • Reproducing gingival tissue with specialized Gingiva ceramic materials – ideal for cases with gum recession or esthetic crown lengthening.

  • Predictable and stable esthetic outcomes
