IPS e.max CAD/CAM Milled is a high-performance dental material used for creating crowns, veneers, inlays, onlays, and bridges. It is part of the IPS e.max system, which is known for its aesthetic qualities and durability. The material is made from lithium disilicate glass-ceramic, a type of ceramic that offers high strength (up to 500 MPa) while maintaining a lifelike appearance similar to natural enamel. The CAD/CAM (Computer-Aided Design/Computer-Aided Manufacturing) technology is used to mill the restoration with precision, ensuring a perfect fit and optimal function.
Advantages
Offers high strength (up to 500 MPa), making it ideal for both anterior and posterior restorations.
