Allgemeine Informationen
Vorbereitung zum Befestigen
Die Konditionierung der Keramikoberfläche als Vorbereitung zur Befestigung ist für einen innigen Verbund zwischen dem
Befestigungsmaterial und der Vollkeramik-Restauration entscheidend. Folgende Vorgehensweise ist zu beachten:
– Leuzitverstärkte Glaskeramiken werden generell mit IPS Ceramic Ätzgel angeätzt und anschliessend mit Monobond-S
silanisiert.

Brennparameter
Brandführung von leuzitverstärkten Glaskeramik Restaurationen
– Zum Brennen der Restaurationen immer den Wabenträger verwenden.
– Inlays, Onlays und Teilkronen mit Brennwatte unterstützen und auf dem Wabenträger positionieren.
– Veneers sowie Front- und Seitenzahnkronen auf Metallstifte setzen und auf dem Wabenträger positionieren.
– Als Alternative zur Brennwatte und zur besseren Fixierung der Restaurationen auf den Metallstiften (speziell bei Veneers)
kann auch eine kleine Menge IPS Object Fix verwendet werden. Innenflächen müssen nicht vollständig bedeckt sein.
– Die Verarbeitungstemperaturen sind zwingend einzuhalten. Eine Erhöhung der Brenntemperatur bedeutet, dass eine
starke Verglasung zwischen Gerüst und Verblendkeramik stattfindet, die zu Spätsprüngen führen kann.
– Eine Absenkung der Brenntemperatur bedeutet, dass die Keramik unterbrannt und sehr spröde wird, was zu
Abplatzungen führen kann.
– Je nach Verarbeitungsgewohnheit können die Malfarben- und Glanzbrände auch mit einer Aufheizrate von 60 °C/min.
durchgeführt werden.
– Falls eine Vakuumpumpe vorhanden ist, können die Malfarben- und Glanzbrände auch mit Vakuum durchgeführt
werden.
– Die auf dem Wabenträger liegenden, mit Brennwatte unterstützten Restaurationen bekommen durch die tiefere Position
in der Brennkammer weniger Wärme ab. Um dennoch einen natürlichen Glanzgrad zu erreichen, empfiehlt es sich, die
Haltezeit von 1 Minute auf bis zu 2 Minuten zu verlängern.
– Die in den Verarbeitungsanleitungen angegebenen Parameter sind auf Ivoclar Vivadent Öfen (Toleranzbereich ±10 °C /
±18°F) abgestimmt.
– Wird kein Ivoclar Vivadent Ofen verwendet, können eventuell erforderliche Temperaturanpassungen nicht ausgeschlossen
werden.
– Die angegebenen Brennparameter sind Richtwerte und gelten für die Ivoclar Vivadent Öfen. Bei Brennöfen der älteren
Generation, z.B. P20, P90, P95, P80, P100, P200 gelten diese Temperaturangaben ebenfalls als Richtwerte, können jedoch
je nach Alter der Brennmuffel um ca. ± 10°C/18°F abweichen.
– Wird kein Ivoclar Vivadent Ofen verwendet, können nötig werdende Temperaturkorrekturen nicht ausgeschlossen
werden.
– Regionale Unterschiede der Netzspannung oder das Betreiben mehrerer Elektrogeräte an einem Stromkreis können dazu
führen, dass die Temperaturen korrigiert werden müssen.

IPS
Empress
– the Original
Nearly 20 years ago, IPS Empress revolutionized the processing of ceramic and thanks
to its many advantages, such as aesthetics, IPS Empress has been established as the
"benchmark". More than 33 million restorations fabricated of IPS Empress throughout
the world and the use of "IPS Empress" as a synonym for all-ceramics speak for the
durable life-like appearance, the ongoing success, and the high quality standard of the
material.
In addition to the tried-and-tested PRESS technology, the CAD/CAM technology has
also developed in the area of all-ceramics. In order to supply the "benchmark" for
this technology as well, the future IPS Empress System will comprise products for both
processing technologies. You will be able to benefit from roughly 20 years of clinical
experience and convincing aesthetics, irrespective of whether the restorations were
fabricated with the PRESS or CAD/CAM technique.
IPS Empress Esthetic is available for the PRESS technology, while IPS Empress CAD
is used in the CAD/CAM technology. Both products consist of the highly aesthetic,
leucite-reinforced glass-ceramic that has been clinically tried-and-tested for many years.
The two ceramics are characterized by excellent strength values and outstanding
aesthetic appearance. They may thus be used for the fabrication of fully anatomic
single-unit restorations, such as inlays, onlays, veneers, and crowns.
Both products may subsequently be stained and/or glazed using IPS Empress
Universal Shades/Stains, or individually veneered using the IPS Empress Esthetic
Veneer layering ceramic.
In this way, the IPS Empress System will remain synonymous for highly aesthetic, fully
anatomical all-ceramic restorations, irrespective of the processing technology.

IPS
Empress CAD –
Product Information
Material
IPS Empress CAD is used for the fabrication of highly aesthetic, fully
anatomical single-unit restorations by means of the CAD/CAM
technology.
IPS Empress CAD blocks are made of a leucite-reinforced glass-
ceramic which consists of a glass and a crystal phase. Leucite crystals
of few microns evenly grow in a multi-stage process directly from the
amorphous glass phase. During the fabrication of the blocks, the
semi-finished product in powder form is pressed to blocks in a fully
automated procedure, which enables a maximum of homogeneity.
Given the difference in the coefficients of thermal expansion (CTE)
between the glass phase and the crystal phase (leucite), cooling after
sintering produces compressive stress in the glass phase. This
mechanism results in an increase in strength and enables IPS Empress
CAD to achieve a flexural strength of 160 MPa. This type of material
has been successful, as well as proven for almost 20 years. The
milled restorations feature excellent accuracy of fit and a
homogeneous surface. Subsequently, the restorations may be
stained using IPS Empress Universal Stains and/or veneered using
IPS Empress Esthetic Veneer.

Block concept
IPS Empress CAD Blocks
The shading and translucency control of the IPS Empress CAD Blocks is based on a newly developed translucency concept
built on the A-D, Chromascop, and Bleach BL shade guides.
The IPS Empress CAD Blocks are available in two degrees of translucency and as a polychromatic block. The blocks are
precisely coordinated with the respective indications and thus enable excellent shade match with the corresponding shade
guide. Depending on the indication, the blocks provide a true-to-nature chameleon effect, life-like brightness value, or a
natural shade transition.
IPS Empress CAD HT (High Translucency)
These blocks are available in the 9 most popular A–D shades, 3 Chromascop shades, and 4 sizes. Given their high
translucency, HT blocks are ideally suitable for the fabrication of smaller restorations (e.g. inlays and onlays). Restorations
made of HT blocks convince users with their true-to-nature chameleon effect and outstanding adaptation to the residual
tooth structure. The blocks demonstrate life-like fluorescence in order to permit optimum integration into the natural
residual tooth structure under different light conditions.
A–D
Chromascop
IPS Empress CAD LT (Low Translucency)
These blocks are available in the 9 most popular A–D shades, 3 Chromascop shades, 4 Bleach BL shades, and 4 sizes. Given
their high brightness value compared to the HT blocks, the LT blocks are ideal for the fabrication of larger restorations (e.g.
anterior and posterior crowns). Restorations made of LT blocks convince users with their true-to-nature brightness value
and chroma, which prevents a greying of the incorporated restorations. The blocks demonstrate a life-like fluorescence in
order to enable optimum integration into the natural environment, even under varying light conditions. Restorations made
of LT blocks are also ideally suitable for the cut-back technique.
A–D
Chromascop Bleach BL
IPS Empress CAD Multi
These blocks are available in the 5 most popular A–D shades and 3 sizes. Given the
natural shade gradient from the dentin to the incisal areas, restorations made of
IPS Empress CAD Multi Blocks demonstrate a maximum of aesthetics and naturalness. In
conjunction with the flexible positioning of the restoration within the block, the true-to-
nature opacity and translucency gradient enables a multitude of aesthetic possibilities.
The IPS Empress CAD Multi Block features a transition of fluorescence very similar to that
of natural teeth, which results in excellent integration into the residual dentition. Given
the innovative combination of true-to-nature transition of shade, translucency, and
fluorescence, highly aesthetic restorations are fabricated in an easy way.

Preparation guidelines and minimum thicknesses
Successful results with IPS Empress CAD can only be achieved if the guidelines below and minimum layering thicknesses
are strictly observed. The following minimum thicknesses are required for IPS Empress CAD restorations.
Inlays and Onlays
Static and dynamic antagonist contacts must be taken into consideration. The preparation margins must not be located on
centric antagonist contacts.
A preparation depth of at least 1.5 mm and an isthmus width of at least 1.5 mm must be observed in the fissure area.
Prepare the proximal box with slightly diverging walls and observe an angle of 100–120° between the proximal cavity walls
and the prospective proximal inlay surfaces. For inlays with pronounced convex cavity walls without adequate support by
the proximal shoulder, marginal ridge contacts should be avoided. Round out internal edges in order to prevent stress
concentration within the ceramic material. Eliminate the proximal contacts on all sides. Do not prepare slice-cuts or feather
edges.
Provide at least 2 mm of space in the cusp areas. The shoulder must not show any inclinations, i.e. it must show a 90°
angle to the residual tooth structure. Onlays are indicated if the preparation margin is less than approximately 0.5 mm
away from the cusp tip, or if the enamel is severely undermined.

Veneers
If possible, the preparation should be entirely located in the enamel. The incisal preparation margins should not be located
in the area of the abrasion surfaces or dynamic occlusal surfaces. By preparing orientation grooves using a depth marker,
controlled enamel reduction can be achieved. Opening of the proximal contacts is not required.
For preparations without involving of the incisal edge (only labial reduction), the preparation depth in the cervical
area should be at least 0.6 mm and at least 0.7 mm in the labial area.
For preparation reduction of the incisal edge (labial/incisal reduction), the preparation depth in the cervical area should
be at least 0.6 mm, and at least 0.7 mm in the labial area. The incisal edge must be reduced by 1.0 mm. The extent of the
incisal reduction depends on the desired translucency of the incisal area to be built up. The more transparent the incisal
edge of the intended veneer, the more pronounced the reduction should be. Discoloured teeth may require more
preparation.
Anterior and posterior crowns
The anatomical shape is evenly reduced while observing the given minimum thicknesses. A circumferential shoulder is
prepared with rounded inner edges or a chamfer. The width of the circular shoulder should be at least 1 mm. The
incisal/occlusal third is reduced by 2 mm. For anterior crowns, the labial and/or palatal/lingual part of the tooth should be
reduced by at least 1.5 mm. The incisal width of the preparation should measure at least 1 mm (milling tool geometry) in
order to permit optimum milling of the incisal edge during CAD/CAM processing.
