IPS e.max® (Lithium Disilicate)

e.max a lithium disilicate glass ceramic material is a highly aesthetic restoration that has a high strength of 400 MPa. It can be cemented conventionally or with adhesives.

Lithium disilicate (LS2) glass-ceramic is ideally suitable for the fabrication of monolithic single-tooth restorations. This innovative ceramic provides highly esthetic results and, compared to other glass-ceramics, demonstrates a strength that is 2.5 to 3 times higher. Supported with zirconium oxide, it may also be used for bridges in the posterior area.
