IPS Empress CAD are leucite-reinforced glass-ceramic blocks for the CAD/CAM application. They are suitable for the fabrication of full-contour single-tooth restorations.
Your benefits
IPS Empress CAD allows you to efficiently fabricate highly esthetic single-tooth restorations with a flexural strength of 185 MPa[1].
After grinding in an authorized CAD/CAM unit[2], IPS Empress CAD is easily and quickly polished to a high gloss.
IPS Empress CAD blocks are available in two translucency levels (HT, LT) and as polychromatic Multi blocks. These are available in A–D shades, Chromascop and bright modern Bleach shades.
-
Multi blocks are polychromatic blocks characterized by a natural progression of shade and fluorescence from the dentin to the incisal area.
-
HT blocks feature a natural chameleon effect and are thus suitable for the fabrication of smaller restorations (e.g. inlays).
-
LT blocks are ideally suitable for the fabrication of larger restorations (e.g. partial crowns, crowns) thanks to their chroma and brightness value.
Finish your IPS Empress CAD restorations:
-
Polish, e. g. with OptraGloss®
-
Customize, e.g. using the IPS e.max® CAD Crystall./ products
IPS Empress CAD blocks are equipped with a holder suitable for the following authorized CAD/CAM systems: PrograMill (Ivoclar), CEREC® (Dentsply Sirona), PlanMill® (Planmeca) and Ceramill® (Amann Girrbach).
