E.Max

E.max press crowns can be cemented and prepped just like a PFM.  They can have feather edge margins (unlike e.max CAD) and are stronger than e.max CAD.  With the price of precious metal these days it is a more aesthetic, and stronger choice for about the same price.  Send us your case today and get 50% off your first case!

There are now two ways to fabricate your lithium disilicate restorations: pressed to the model or CAD/CAM.  Pressing the material is done in a similar way that metal frameworks are cast to a model.  A wax-up of the planned contours is created on the model, sprued, invested, and heated material is spun into the void in the stone.  The average compressive strength of e.max Press is 400 MPa.

Alternatively, a scan of the model allows the technician to design a digital wax pattern and mill it from a solid block of lithium disilicate.  This is faster and less expensive than the press technique.  The compromise is that the compressive strength of e.max CAD drops to 360 Mpa.

Strength and lifelike aesthetics

"Pressed" all-ceramic has been successfully used for over

20 years and it stands for aesthetic, bio-compatible restorations with excellent accuracy of fit.

The IPS e.max Press lithium disilicate glass-ceramic (LS2) offers accuracy of fit, shape and function as you expect it from your press ceramic, as well as outstandingly high strength of 400 MPa. Long-term clinical studies confirm the good material properties.
