THE BEST CHOICE FOR METAL CERAMIC RESTORATION (PART 2)

 The IPS Style layering materials for the traditional multi-layer technique considerably simplify routine procedures. The single-layer ceramic IPS Style Ceram One further enhances the efficiency of the laboratory.

Its dentin and incisal materials are optimally coordinated with each other to enable a straightforward method for the fabrication of full-contour metal-ceramic restorations – for restorations with true-to-nature shading and translucency.

Sound crystal structure

The two IPS Style Ceram Opaquer materials feature the same chemical structure as the IPS Style veneering materials. Even if applied in very thin layers, they provide an excellent masking effect, irrespective of the way in which they are applied: e.g. conventional or spray-on technique.

It is the oxyapatite crystals that impart the masking properties: Their content is especially high in the opaquer materials. Given their high light reflecting capabilities, they create a luminous effect from within the restoration, regardless of whether the opaquer is used in the powder or paste delivery form.

Non-slump consistency, intuitive handling

IPS Style is used in the same way as conventional metal-ceramics systems.

Theres only one big difference: IPS Style exhibits outstanding stability and excellent modelling properties. The layering materials remain exactly where they have been placed.

IPS Style benefits the working style of both newcomers and experienced users – for outstanding results.

 Approved for all frameworks

IPS Style is suitable for all types of frameworks in the indicated CTE range, irrespective of the system used to produce them: precious metal or non-precious metal alloys, digital or analogue, casting or milling.

On non-precious metal alloys, e.g. Colado® CAD CoCr4 or Colado® CC, IPS Style can even be used without a ceramic bonder – for unlimited functionality in just a few working steps.

 Infinite play of colours

 All the shaded IPS Style components, ranging from the opaquer to the incisal materials, contain oxyapatite crystals. They impart an excellent basic brightness to restorations, leading to natural-looking intraoral results. Regardless of the number of firing cycles needed to complete the restoration, the results show excellent shade stability. The wide range of materials accommodates a myriad of individual requirements.

The effect of oxyapatite crystals

Opacity produced by the needle-shaped crystals: Incident light is scattered and reflected diffusely. The high reflection capacity of the crystals determines the esthetics of the restoration and integrates the colour of the opaquer into the play of light and colour of the restoration.

Exceptionally bright material

Through light scattering and diffuse reflection, the fine needle-like fluorapatite crystals enhance the brightness of the material. Needle-shaped oxyapatite crystals have a high capacity to reflect light, which helps to create an effect of depth.

The content of oxyapatite crystals varies in the different materials, ranging from the opaquer to the incisal materials. The oxyapatite content is especially high in the opaquer – for the selective adjustment of the translucency.

Conclusion

IPS Style includes components that are optimally combined for the ceramic application technique. All materials are suitable for stains and glazes of the versatile IPS Ivocolor range.
 
Oxyapatite crystals are contained in all color components, from opaque materials to enamel materials. This allows control of the clarity or opaqueness of the required restoration. Complementary leucite and fluorapatite crystals and coordinated glass phases give this low-melting composite glass ceramic its unique processability and optical properties.
