IPS Empress®
 The IPS Empress® and IPS Eris™ system,
available for crowns, 3- unit bridges, inlays,
onlays and laminates, is the closest to gold
for fit and function. They are both highly
durable with marginal accuracy and excellent
wear characteristics. Because they are
metal-free, there is no black metal shadow
at the gum line. Rather than looking dull or
lifeless, the crowns are luminous and
life-like. And they can cement with
conventional cement such as glass ionomer,
or they can be adhesively placed.
One of the greatest challenges facing the dental industry is achieving optimum esthetics with a metal-free restoration. While there are many all-ceramic systems offered today that are metal-free and strong, the marginal adaptation is far from that of traditional gold-palladium crowns. Quite often, the marginal adaptation is so loose that the crown falls off the die. Inlays and onlays have gaps that need to be filled with composite cement. Many dentists are reluctant to make all ceramic crowns due to the fear of decay under the exposed margin and fear of crowns dislodging or breaking.
 The IPS Empress® system is a Fluorapatite
glass ceramic which mimics natural
translucency, brightness and shades,
providing life-like esthetics that duplicate
natural dentition. More than 15 years
of successful clinical experience has
proven the IPS Empress® system as the
leader in metal-free all-ceramic esthetic
restorations and the Esthetic Revolution in
dentistry. |
