Emax is an all ceramic system that is based on lithium disilicate glass and consists of quartz lithium dioxide phosphoroxide alumina potassium oxide and trace elements.

Emax lithium disilicate ceramics.

Ivoclar vivadent s patented lithium disilicate material is truly a revolution for the dental industry. Lithium disilicate glass ceramics ldgc are aesthetic dental materials derived from sio2 li 2 o al 2 o 3 k 2 o zro 2 p 2 o 5 glass systems via solid state reaction route 140 143. A great alternative to pfm. The resulting restorations exhibit lifelike esthetics independent of the shade of the preparations.

From the team that introduced the ips empress line revolutionizing esthetics in ceramics ips e max is twice the strength of empress using a lithium disilicate glass ceramic block. For the cad cam technology the innovative lithium disilicate block ips e max cad or the high strength zirconium oxide ips e max zircad is used depending on the case requirements. Ips e max lithium disilicate. Empress 2 was classified as a glass ceramic a subgroup of particle filled glasses and contained approximately 70 crystalline lithium disilicate filler 1 2 3.

Lithium disilicate 2sio 2 li 2 o dental ceramics were first introduced in 1988 for use as a heat pressed core material marketed as ips empress 2 ivoclar vivadent lichtenstein. This unrivalled material combines highly esthetic qualities with exceptional user friendliness. Emax based all ceramic prostheses are rapidly gaining widespread popularity in cosmetic dentistry due to their excellent esthetics durability and strength. Ips e max is a lithium disilicate glass ceramic that has optimized translucency durability and strength for full anatomical restorations.
