Leucite glass-ceramics
IPS Empress CAD restorations have been in clinical use for decades. Due to the pronounced chameleon effect and natural fluorescence[1] the material faithfully mimics the natural appearance of teeth. IPS Empress CAD is known for exceptional esthetics and can be polished to a high gloss quickly and easily: grind – polish – done. The innovative polychromatic IPS Empress CAD Multi block is a special highlight in this range. The block features a natural progression of shade and fluorescence from dentin to incisal.[1]
Processing options:
After the grinding process, the restorations can be: – polished – optionally: stained, glazed
Types of restorations:
- Crowns
- Inlays, onlays, partial crowns
- Veneers
Benefits:
