have proven to be the restoration of choice among dentists worldwide.

IPS Empress®
IPS Empress® revolutionized the processing of ceramic materials more than15 years ago. This process has evolved into the “gold standard” for both dental professionals and patients due to the many advantages of leucite-reinforced glass-ceramic. These advantages include excellent aesthetic properties and high precision. With more than 33 million restorations fabricated with the material to date, the system has gained a reputation for producing long-lasting, natural-looking results with high quality standards.

IPS e.max Press®
The new IPS e.max® Press material delivers the fit, form and function expected from Press ceramics with increased strength and optimized optical properties. IPS e.max® Press has a flexural strength of 400 MPa and is indicated for anterior and posterior crown copings and anterior 3-unit bridges. Three opacity levels with a comprehensive shade range (Vita A-D) and four bleached shades offer the most aesthetic restorations.

Sculpture/FibreKor®
With Sculpture/FibreKor® brand, you’re prescribing a material that is beautiful, biocompatible, translucent and durable. Use Sculpture material alone for inlays, onlays or crowns. With its blend of PCDMA resin and unique glass filler, Sculpture brand material has a refractive index similar to tooth enamel, so restorations transmit and reflect light like natural teeth. Building on technology from the aerospace industry, FibreKor material unites high strength fibers to create a material that is as strong as non-precious alloy. Sculpture/FibreKor material is the foundation for beautiful, lightweight, translucent, lifelike restorations that your patients will love.
