e.max at SBO is used for cases where a good balance between aesthetics and strength are required. We use them for dentine bonded crowns and overlays posteriorly and in the anterior region when some opacity is required i.e. the underyling tooth is dark and could show through if crown is translucent. For maximum strength or to hide dark teeth we recommend zirconia, or for maximum aesthetics and translucency we recommend i-esthetic.

We use IPS e.max CAD glass-ceramic blocks to produce our e.max restorations.The IPS e.max System is further enhanced by the nano-fluorapatite layering ceramic IPS e.max Ceram, which is used as a veneering material for IPS e.max

The system allows us to take advantage of a single, standardized layering scheme to offer our dentists and their patients restorations with maximum individuality and naturalness.

IPS e.max CAD is a lithium silicate glass-ceramic block for the CAD/CAM Technology. It is manufactured in an innovative process, which results in the exceptional homogeneity of the material. In its crystalline intermediate state, the block can be easily milled with CAD/CAM equipment.
