High-strength zirconia
IPS e.max ZirCAD allows you to produce aesthetic, monolithic zirconia restorations efficiently in your dental practice with the help of efficient speed sintering programs.
The high-strength zirconia ceramic has been a firm favourite of dentists and patients for many years and offers versatile options for your chairside treatment. IPS e.max ZirCAD blocks are available as MT Multi (with shade and translucency gradation) or monochromatic as LT (low translucency).
Superior strength
IPS e.max ZirCAD features a high flexural strength of 1200 MPa (LT) and 850 MPa (MT Multi)[1]. A fracture toughness of 5.1 MPa m1/2 underlines the superior mechanical properties of the material[2].
Low wall thicknesses
Due to the material’s high flexural strength and fracture toughness, it can be used to fabricate restorations with very thin walls. As a result, the teeth can be prepared according to minimally invasive principles and then conventionally cemented[1].
Natural aesthetics*
IPS e.max ZIrCAD MT Multi combines two raw materials for a realistic, natural progression of translucency. There is a high degree of translucency in the incisal area and high opacity in the dentine area – an appearance resembling that of natural dentition*.
Fluorescent effect*
IPS e.max ZirCAD restorations can be enhanced with a natural fluorescence in combination with IPS e.max CAD Crystall./ Glaze Paste Fluo*.
Versatile cementation options
IPS e.max ZirCAD restorations can be cemented conventionally, adhesively or self-adhesively[3-4]. This allows you to choose the appropriate cementation method for each clinical situation.
10-year guarantee
You get a 10-year guarantee on all your placed IPS e.max restorations. The IPS e.max Guarantee also applies retroactively for five years to restorations that were permanently placed on 1 July 2015 or later.
Various processing techniques
The options available after sintering include:
- Polishing
- Glazing and firing
- Optional staining, glazing and firing
Minor corrections (e.g. proximal contact areas) can be applied to IPS e.max ZirCAD restorations using IPS e.max CAD Crystall./Add-On.
IPS e.max ZirCAD MT Multi
IPS e.max ZirCAD MT Multi cleverly combines the properties of two types of materials. The class 5Y-TZP zironia imparts a high level of translucency to the incisal region. The more opaque class 4Y-TZP zirconia is responsible for reinforcing the stability of the dentin region of 850 MPa[1].
The realistic progression of shade and translucency from the opaque dentine region to the translucent incisal region and the corresponding colour effect is ensured by IPS e.max ZirCAD MT Multi without any additional characterisation for maximum lifelike results*.
