IPS e.max Press® – Crafting Esthetic Restorations with Proven Strength

In the world of restorative dentistry, where precision, durability, and esthetics must go hand in hand, IPS e.max Press® stands out as a true symbol of excellence. Made from high-quality lithium disilicate glass-ceramic (LS2), this pressable ceramic material not only impresses dentists and lab technicians with its natural-looking results and flexibility, but also provides long-term peace of mind thanks to its well-documented clinical success.

Clinically Proven Reliability

With a survival rate of up to 97.8% and over 10 years of clinical follow-up, IPS e.max Press® is a safe and time-tested solution for a wide range of esthetic restorations. From ultra-thin veneers to full crowns and inlays/onlays, this material has consistently delivered performance both in the lab and in the patient’s mouth.

Outstanding Mechanical Properties

IPS e.max Press® is not only beautiful—it’s incredibly strong:

• Biaxial flexural strength up to 470 MPa
• Fracture toughness ranging from 2.5 to 3 MPa·m½

These properties allow technicians to create thinner, more precise restorations that still ensure long-term durability and resistance to fracture in the oral environment.

Flexible Processing Techniques

IPS e.max Press® supports three major fabrication techniques to match your workflow and esthetic goals:

• Staining technique: compatible with Multi, HT, MT, LT, and Impulse ingots
• Cut-back technique: suitable for Multi, HT, MT, LT, and Impulse ingots
• Layering technique: designed for MO and HO ingots

This flexibility empowers dental professionals to select the most appropriate approach for each case.

Versatile Ingots for Every Indication

IPS e.max Press® offers seven types of ingots, varying in translucency, opacity, and optical effects:

• HT (High Translucency): for highly esthetic veneers
• MT (Medium Translucency) and LT (Low Translucency): ideal for full-contour crowns
• MO (Medium Opacity) and HO (High Opacity): suitable for restorations on discolored abutments or implants
• Impulse: for special light-reflective effects
• Multi: polychromatic ingots with lifelike* color transition from cervical to incisal

Whether you’re working on veneers, thin veneers, occlusal veneers, crowns, or inlays/onlays, there’s a suitable IPS e.max Press® ingot for every case.

Efficient Production – Higher Output, Greater Value

IPS e.max Press® allows for multiple restorations to be fabricated in a single pressing cycle, optimizing time, material usage, and laboratory efficiency.

Conclusion

IPS e.max Press® is the perfect fusion of science and artistry in esthetic dentistry.
With lifelike esthetics, exceptional strength, versatile clinical applications, and full adaptability across fabrication techniques, this pressable ceramic material is more than just a product—it’s a tool for creating world-class restorations that improve quality of life and patient satisfaction.
