IPS e.max System Indication Overview

Lithium Disilicate (LS2)

Ivoclar Vivadents patented lithium disilicate material is truly a revolution for the dental industry. Never before has a material been able to combine high strength, high esthetics and ease of use into one product, until now.

Lithium disilicate (LS2)

IPS e.max lithium disilicate material exhibit superior durability featuring 360400 MPa of flexural strength. When fabricated to full-contour, the monolithic structure is the most robust ceramic crown tested to date.

360-400 MPa
of flexural strength.

Why lithium disilicate (LS2) for single-unit restorations?

- Lithium disilicate combines high strength and high esthetics - Broad indication range because of the high strength of 360-400 MPa - depending upon on the indication Lithium disilicate offers flexibility when it comes to cementation - Various translucency levels and a comprehensive shade range allow versatile esthetic options

- Ideally suitable for indications, that require high strength, such as anterior and posterior (widespan) bridges - frameworks are milled to contour approximately 20-25% larger than required and subsequently sintered. At this, they shrink to their final size and obtain their typical, high fracture toughness. - Finally IPS e.max ZirCAD frameworks are conventionally veneered using the IPS e.max Ceram layering ceramic or pressed over using the IPS e.max ZirPress fluorapatite ingots.

Product information High performance all-ceramic for dental applications (>900 MPa) Excellent biocompatibility and low heat conductivity Delicate framework design adhesive, self-adhesive or conventional cementation Due to its excellent final strength, the material is capable of fulfilling the clinical requirements in the posterior region (bridges) by withstanding the high chewing forces in that area.

Single Crowns to 3-unit Bridges

Multi-Unit Bridges

Layer thicknesses

- The IPS e.max ZirCAD framework material is the high-strength component of your restoration and must always be given a design that supports the overall shape of the restoration and the cusps. - In large preparations, the excess available space must be compensated by the corresponding dimensions of the high-strength IPS e.max ZirCAD component and not by the pressed-on or layered-on materials. - The following minimum thicknesses have to be observed:

Colouring Liquids Drying Times

- with targeted drying (e.g. infrared, convection, warm air stream) the drying time can be clearly reduced. - Drying times are to be considered after milling and after colouring with liquids

Colouring Liquids - Application

Long-span bridge frameworks

from inLab Software 3D V 3.60 long span frameworks (> 5 units) stack milling

Long-span bridge frameworks

For long-span bridge frameworks (> 5 bridge units), the following supplementary/different working steps have to be observed. CAM construction
The IPS e.max ZirCAD B65L-17 and IPS e.max ZirCAD B85L-22 are processed using inLab MC XL (from Software version: inLab 3D V 3.60). Users have the option to either mill long-span frameworks or to process several frameworks in one milling procedure by means of stack milling. After the selection of various frameworks (milling data) they are automatically placed within the bloc and the milling procedure can be started.

Long-span bridge frameworks

Use the one-piece milling tools and the manual bloc chuck to process the large blocks.

Long-span bridge frameworks

Place the framework in the firing sagger either on the sinter support structure or with the occlusal surface facing down.

Long-span bridge frameworks

For long-span bridge frameworks (> 5 bridge units), the following supplementary/different working steps have to be observed. Finishing and Preparation for sintering
after stack milling, the frameworks must be separated very carefully observe the following sequence when separating:
1. Connection at the outermost end 2. Attachment point to the bloc 3. Attachment point to the bloc 4. Individual units from each other

Single-tooth frameworks as well as smaller bridges frameworks are carefully separated from each other with a diamond Do not separate long-span bridge frameworks from the sinter support structure.

Long-span bridge frameworks

For long-span bridge frameworks (> 5 bridge units), the following supplementary/different working steps have to be observed. Framework finishing after sintering
For sintering, an empty firing sagger without ZrO2 beads is used. Place the framework in the firing sagger either on the sinter support structure or with the occlusal surface facing down. Separate the sinter structure with a diamond separating disk (under water cooling)

Sintering process

SINTERING ZrO2 CROWNS IN JUST 90 MINUTES Short sintering process saves a lot of time: approx. 90 minutes instead of 5-8 hours for a single-unit framework

More efficiency, because crowns and bridges on ZrO2 base structures can now be fabricated in one working day.

Sinterprozess

short sintering times the time-saving sintering process has a positive effect on the production costs
(less energy is consumed power Saving Technology)

Graphic display with proven membrane-sealed keypad OSD operating status display Easily accessible sintering chamber Compact design and light weight

Sintering Regeneration Firing (optional):

Basically, adjustments of sintered IPS ZirCAD frameworks should be kept to a minimum. A Regeneration firing is only recommended after: - Large-scale adjustment of the IPS e.max ZirCAD framework (e.g. reduction of cusps and overall thickness) - Use of grinding instruments not listed in the IPS e.max grinding tool recommendations. - Grinding with diamond grinding tools (graining >100 m). Please note: Fractures or cracks in the IPS e.max ZirCAD framework caused by rough finishing, e.g. blasting with high pressure, cannot be healed by a Regeneration firing.
