IPS e.max CAD crown offers advantages

For the past several months, we have been offering e.max restorations as our newest all-ceramic option. The e.max system was created by Ivoclar Vivadent, and improves upon the strength and aesthetics of other pressed zirconia crowns.

In a recent article, Dr. Michael DiTolla discussed his experiences with this system.

"I have been excited since I first began placing e.max crowns because of how good I think they look. Because it is milled from a single block, I can take advantage of the benefits of CAD/CAM, and can dial in digitally consistent contacts, occlusion and anatomy. With CAD/CAM, I can make it much more consistent than was the case when technicians were doing this by hand. The low remake rate of the e.max crown proves this."
