Since its launch, the IPS e.max system from Ivoclar Vivadent has reportedly become a leading all-ceramic mainstay that has benefited laboratories, clinicians and patients alike. Consisting of lithium disilicate glass ceramic materials, IPS e.max Press and IPS e.max CAD, the IPS e.max system has now been expanded to include a comprehensive selection of zirconium oxide discs and blocks under the brand IPS e.max ZirCAD.

Digital technology is constantly changing­-even within the last 12 months.

Exploring the ways that technology is changing one of the oldest dental workflows.

Ivoclar Vivadent has introduced new MT shades for its IPS e.max CAD products, which is designed to be milled in the Wieland Select hybrid dental milling machine.

Harald Bürke, R&D expert in dental ceramics at Ivoclar Vivadent, tells Dental Lab Products how the latest in press ceramics, the IPS e.max Press Multi, came together.

Ivoclar Vivadent has announced the release of IPS e.max Press Multi, the first polychromatic ingot available for the press technique.

The Zenotec select hybrid is the new milling system exclusively developed for IPS e.max CAD and IPS Empress CAD.

By now everyone is well aware of the successes of IPS e.max, which has proven to deliver strong, esthetic restorations in all areas of the mouth. In fact, long-time prosthodontist Dr. Kenneth Malament, a world-renowned researcher and educator on all ceramics, says his choice is Ivoclar Vivadent’s ceramic  for all of his single unit restorations. But where this material really has a unique spot is in the posterior areas.

The design of this case was complex. By using digital design it was possible to design the implant abutments at the same time as the final restorations.

Introduced in 2007, Dr. Michael DiTolla, DDS, FAGD, and director of Clinical Education and Research for Glidewell Laboratories, says IPS e.max truly reshaped the dental laboratory landscape.

The iTero® imaging system is now available as a single hardware platform with software options for restorative and orthodontic procedures. Here are just a few reasons you might want to incorporate this improved powder-free system from Align Technology into your practice.

Laboratory ceramists and their dentists often are faced with restorative cases that demand the use of a singular material capable of simultaneously providing conservative esthetics and sufficient functional strength. Lithium disilicate is increasingly being used in clinical situations demanding the highest physical and optical characteristics.
