IPS e.max Lithium Disilicate, Lithium disilicate (LS2) glass-ceramic is ideally suitable for the fabrication of monolithic restorations or veneered restorations in the anterior and posterior region. Due to its natural-looking tooth colouring and excellent light-optical properties, this material produces impressive results.
PFM (Porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns) : PFM's can be thought of as a hybrid between all-metal and all-ceramic dental crowns because they're made out of both materials.
Patients with devitalized teethEven if the preparations demonstrate a dark shade (e.g. as a result of discolouration or titanium abutments), all-ceramic restorations may be used. In this case, it is important for you to inform your laboratory about the die shade, and the dental technicians then selects the IPS e.max lithium disilicate material in the required opacity in order to design the true-to-nature esthetic appearance.
