An example of such a tooth colored, fracture resistant material is zirconium oxide. A dental manufacturer, Ivoclar- Vivadent has released the IPS E. Max System. This ceramic system can be fabricated in a Press manner to increase the strength of the restoration.This glass-ceramic ingot of Lithium Dislicate gives increased hardness and fracture resistance to the permanent onlay or crown. A more aesthetic use of the E. Max System is with a CAD/CAM machine. Anterior crowns and attractive veneers are produced by this method.
I would like to offer some frequently asked questions concerning these ceramic restoratives!
QUESTION: Some of my co workers have found their crowns have chipped? Have the technician and dentist solved this difficulty?
ANSWER: The composition of the newer ceramic restorations can withstand a patient who demonstrates bruxism. The marginal fit is very precise, insuring a durable procedure.
QUESTION: How attractive are the anterior crowns and veneers?
ANSWER: The manner in which light reflects onto these restorations is most life like and natural.No other dental material compares to the glass-ceramic, lithium disilicate, E. Max Crown.
Please note pre and post op cases.
