These are manufactured by the latest CAD CAM technology, wherein Lithium disilicate ingots are milled and the full contour crown thus obtained is stained to give a natural look. A to D shades are available with different levels of translucency. IPS e.max CAD unites modern processing technology with a high-performance material. The glass-ceramic is processed for the laboratory in a crystalline intermediate phase. IPS e.max CAD acquires its final strength of 530 MPa and the desired esthetic characteristics, such as tooth color, translucency and brightness, during a simple and quick crystallization process.
