e.max, Zirpress
IPS e.max ZirPress are fluorapatite glass-ceramic ingots to be pressed on frameworks.

This practical technique allows the efficient fabrication of zirconium oxide-reinforced crowns and multi-unit bridges.
IPS e.max ZirPress ideally combines the PRESS and CAD/CAM techniques, since the strength of zirconium oxide frameworks is optimally combined with the aesthetics and accuracy of fit of the press ceramic in the press-on technique.

The ingots are used to press onto both IPS e.max ZirCAD and other zirconium oxide frameworks in the CTE range of 10.5 - 11.0. The fluorapatite crystals contained in the ingots control the interplay of translucency, opacity and brightness. Therefore, the less translucent zirconium oxide frameworks are optimally masked.
