IPS e.max ZirCAD MT 14 mm

Description

IPS e.max ZirCAD MT is a medium-translucency, pre-sintered zirconia for the fabrication of aesthetic and durable all-ceramic restorations. The material combines reliable mechanical stability with higher translucency than conventional high-strength zirconia and is suitable for both monolithic and layered restorations.

Product facts

• Translucency level: MT, Medium Translucency
• Shade system: Classic A–D shades and special shades for individual colouring
• Applications: Anterior and posterior restorations
• Indications: Crowns and bridges of up to three units with one pontic
• Restoration options: Monolithic, cut-back or ceramic-veneered
• Processing: Milling in the pre-sintered state followed by sintering

Benefits

The material provides a balanced combination of strength and aesthetics. Its medium translucency creates more natural light transmission than more opaque zirconia materials, while the flexural strength provides stability for single crowns and short-span bridges.

Shade and aesthetics

IPS e.max ZirCAD MT is homogeneous throughout the disc and does not contain an integrated shade or translucency gradient. The pre-shaded A–D versions provide an efficient basis for shade-matched restorations, while dedicated Colouring and Effect Colouring Liquids can be used for individual characterisation before sintering.

Applications

Suitable for full-contour crowns and bridges of up to three units with one pontic in both anterior and posterior regions. The material can also be used for reduced restorations completed using the cut-back technique or ceramic veneering.

Processing

The material is supplied in a pre-sintered state and is milled in a compatible dental CAD/CAM system. Before sintering, the restoration can be individually characterised with IPS e.max ZirCAD MT Colouring and Effect Colouring Liquids. After sintering, it can be polished, stained and glazed or completed with a compatible veneering ceramic.
