A popular brand name of a high-strength, all-ceramic material, known as Lithium Disilicate glass-ceramic, is IPS Emax. Emax, manufactured by Ivoclar Vivadent, is regarded as the aesthetic gold standard in contemporary restorative and cosmetic dentistry, offering an unparalleled combination of natural appearance, strength, and versatility. It is a monolithic material, meaning the restoration is milled or pressed into one solid block, which reduces the chances of chipping or breaking.
Major Characteristics and Uses
- Composition and Strength : The lithium disilicate is used as the core material, providing a flexural strength of approximately 500 MPa (when pressed), which is significantly stronger than traditional porcelain, while remaining free of metal.
- High-quality Aesthetics : This is the main advantage that Emax possesses. The high translucency and opal look and feel are very similar to those of natural tooth enamel, and as such, it can blend perfectly with the rest of the natural teeth. It comes in all levels of translucency (HT, MT, LT, MO) and fits all clinical requirements, such as thin veneers and full crowns surrounding dark tooth structures.
- Broad-Use Version : Emax can be used in many applications:
- Veneers and Thin Veneers (for better aesthetics).
- Onlays and Inlays (to restore a tooth conservatively).
- Single Crowns (front and back).
- 3-unit Bridges (anterior region).
- Implant Abutment Crowns.
- Less Preparation : Emax is of high strength, which means that less conservative tooth reduction is necessary than with older types of ceramic materials; the initial tooth structure remains intact.
