IPS Empress glass ceramic is a very aesthetic leucite-based material spreading the incident light naturally and creating a balanced chameleon effect. It provides a comfortable use with its translucency and real-like appearance. Since the IPS Empress Esthetic, press ceramic and IPS Empress CAD machinable ceramic blocks are equivalent in terms of material content, both materials show resistance to 160 MPa in addition to their light optical properties.
All-ceramic single tooth restorations in veneers, inlays, onlays and crowns therefore adapt to their natural environment. A careful preparation of the teeth positively influence the adaptation and the duration of the restorations. Tooth structure can be preserved with minimum tooth erosion.
