IPS Empress Esthetic
Since the early 90s, the press technology has stood for accurately fitting all-ceramic restorations and has enthused...See more patients, dentists and dental technicians alike. IPS Empress Esthetic is the material of choice when it comes to the fabrication of pressed, highly-esthetic single tooth restorations. In addition to the excellent strength values, the leucite glass-ceramic ingots are distinguished for their exceptional esthetics. The homogeneous material scatters light naturally and provides a balanced chameleon effect. With IPS Empress Esthetic, you can use a ceramic which offers more than pure performance. In fact, it effectively combines accuracy of fit, efficiency and esthetics. IPS Empress Esthetic is available in a total of 7 degrees of translucency, distributed among 12 ingots. The slightly shaded TC ingots are available in 6 shades. E T Ingots Given their high translucency, E T ingots are used for the fabrication of smaller restorations, such as inlays or onlays. The ingots can be used for older patients with a strongly translucent, glassy residual dentition or for younger patients with a residual dentition of low opacity. E O Ingots The E O ingots with increased opacity are ideally suitable for pressing crowns and veneers for patients with a residual dentition of medium to very high opacity and to match the restoration with bleached teeth. E TC Ingots The shaded E TC ingots are available in 6 shades. Given their chroma, they are particularly suitable for the cut-back technique, in which incisal materials are layered in the incisal and/or occlusal third after pressing. Advantages •Highly esthetic pressed restorations •12 ingots in 7 levels of translucency •True-to-nature light scatting and balanced chameleon effect •Excellent press results and accuracy of fit •Flexural strength of 160 MPa
The Daily Bite
A study conducted by the Long Group, an independent research group, predicts that by 2019, there could be nearly 7,000 fewer dentists, assuming the number of annual dental school graduates—currently 4,500—remains consistent.
