IPS e.max ZirCAD MT Multi 16 mm

Description

IPS e.max ZirCAD MT Multi is a pre-shaded, polychromatic and multi-translucent zirconia for the fabrication of aesthetic all-ceramic restorations. The material combines high strength in the dentine region with increased translucency towards the incisal region, creating a natural progression of both shade and light transmission.

Product facts

• Size: 98.5 × 16 mm
• Type: Pre-shaded polychromatic multilayer zirconia
• Material: Yttria-stabilised zirconium oxide
• Material structure: Combination of 4Y-TZP and highly translucent 5Y-TZP
• Shade structure: Integrated gradient from the dentine to the incisal region
• Translucency: Gradually increasing translucency towards the incisal region
• Flexural strength: Approximately 850 MPa in the high-strength region
• Shade system: Selected classic A–D shades and bleach shades
• Applications: Anterior and posterior restorations
• Indications: Crowns and 3-unit bridges with one pontic
• Restoration options: Monolithic, cut-back or individually stained and glazed
• Processing: Milling in the pre-sintered state followed by sintering

Benefits

The combination of different zirconia classes provides a balanced progression between strength and translucency. The high stability in the dentine region supports the restoration, while the more translucent incisal portion contributes to natural light transmission and harmonious integration with the surrounding dentition.

Shade and aesthetics

The integrated shade and translucency gradient mimics the transition from a more chromatic and opaque dentine region to a lighter and more translucent incisal region. This allows lifelike monolithic restorations to be produced with limited need for additional characterisation.

Applications

Suitable for full-contour crowns and 3-unit bridges with one pontic in both anterior and posterior regions. The material is particularly useful for restorations requiring a natural shade progression and good translucency without extensive ceramic layering.

Processing

The material is supplied in a pre-sintered state and is milled in a compatible dental CAD/CAM system. The vertical position of the restoration within the disc affects the distribution of the dentine and incisal regions. After sintering, the restoration can be polished, stained and glazed or completed using the cut-back technique and a compatible ceramic.
