Applying the IPS Empress Esthetic Veneer materials
IPS Empress Esthetic Veneer Wash Pastes
Given the 2 : 1 effect of the wash pastes, i.e. bonding and characterization in one step, highly aesthetic restorations can
be fabricated very efficiently.
The neutral wash paste produces the direct bond to the reduced restorations and is always applied first on the restoration;
it enables a homogeneous bond. Subsequently, the reduced restorations are individually characterized using the 5 standard
wash pastes. Ideal shade gradations permit individualized characterizations of the highest order. The 5 standard wash
pastes may be individually shaded using the 5 wash paste modifiers or the neutral paste.

IPS Empress Esthetic Veneer Incisal Opal
The opalescent materials are available in three different gradations (low, medium, and high translucency).
They feature an incisal-like fluorescence and true-to-nature opalescence. The high stability and excellent
modelling properties permit detailed layering of life-like incisal edges. The opalescent effect
demonstrates high firing stability.
IPS Empress Esthetic Veneer Transpa
The Transparent materials in 2 shade nuances are used for the true-to-nature reproduction of
transparent areas, particularly in the incisal third.
IPS Empress Esthetic Veneer Incisal
The Incisal materials are available in 6 shade nuances and are used for additional characterizations in the
incisal area.
IPS Empress Esthetic Veneer Chroma Modifier
These materials support the shade intensity of the reduced restoration and are available in shades
110/A1 and 210/A3.
IPS Empress Esthetic Veneer Brightener
Used to increase the brightness value.
IPS Empress Esthetic Veneer Build-Up Liquid
The Build-Up Liquid is used to mix the IPS Empress Esthetic Veneer materials and the IPS Empress Add-
On corrective material. IPS Empress Esthetic Veneer Build-Up Liquid must be used since other build-up
liquids may contain organic additives that could leave a residue.
33

Cut-back technique
Before the cut-back is carried out, the following points must be observed:
– Use only suitable, fine-grained (grain size < 60 µm), ceramic-bonded grinding instruments or diamonds at a speed of up
to 20,000 rpm and little pressure.
– Carefully finish the restoration margins using rubber and silicone polishers (Speed: <10,000 rpm)
– Overheating the glass-ceramic must be prevented.
– If the wrong grinding instruments are used, marginal chipping and local overheating may occur.
– Smooth out attachment point of the holder and take the proximal contact points into account.
– Before the cut-back the veneer or anterior crown should correspond with the final tooth shape.
– The incisal length must be exactly defined and the occluding surfaces taken into account.
– A palatal silicone key is used as a reference for the cut-back.
– The silicone key should slightly embrace the incisal edge.
Before the cut-back the veneer or anterior crown should correspond with the final tooth shape. Fabricate a palatal silicone key.
Please see page 27 for information about the
fabrication of a control die using IPS Natural Die
Material.
The control die made of IPS Natural Die Material is the optimum basis for sound
shade reproduction.
34

The cut-back is conducted in 3 steps. Only in this way is a targeted and controlled reduction possible. The following
working procedure should be observed:
– Use only suitable grinding instruments for the cut-back (e.g. ceramic-bonded grinding instruments and diamonds) at low
speed.
– Too much pressure and excess heat development during grinding must be prevented.
– The thickness of the reduced IPS Empress CAD restoration must not fall below the required minimum of 0.5 mm.
– Step 1: Proximal cut-back - the mesial and distal ridges are reduced.
– Step 2: Labial/incisal cut-back - volume and length are tapered and reduced
– Step 3: Mamelon cut-back - design life-like mamelons using abrasive silicone disks at low pressure.
– Refrain from designing too extreme mamelons with undercuts.

Veneering of IPS Empress CAD with IPS Empress Esthetic Veneer
The IPS Empress CAD restoration is veneered and finished in 3 steps:
Step 1: IPS Empress Esthetic Veneer Wash Paste for an excellent bond and in-depth shading
Step 2: IPS Empress Esthetic Veneer for individualized aesthetics in the incisal third
Step 3: IPS Empress Universal Shade/Stains and Glaze for final staining and glazing
Wash firing with IPS Empress Esthetic Veneer Wash Pastes
The wash firing enables an optimum bond to the reduced IPS Empress CAD restorations.
The following working procedure should be observed:
– Extrude IPS Empress Esthetic Veneer Wash Paste neutral from the syringe and thin it with a small amount of IPS Empress
Universal Glaze and Stain Liquid, if required.
– Apply IPS Empress Esthetic Veneer Wash Paste neutral thinly on the entire surface to be veneered, in order to enable an
optimum bond.
– Depending on the individual patient situation, design mamelons.
– Apply internal effects using Modifier (pure or diluted).
– The mamelons and internal effects are applied on the unfired Wash Paste neutral layer.
– Note: The shade intensity will not be noticeably changed during firing.
– Place veneers and anterior crowns on the honey-comb firing tray with the help of metal pins. Additionally support the

Table on Page 44. The following working procedure should be observed:
– Mix IPS Empress Esthetic Veneer ceramic materials with the IPS Empress Esthetic Veneer Build-Up Liquid.
– The mixed material should demonstrate good stability. If this is not the case, either too much or too little Build-Up Liquid
was added.
– Build up the materials in accordance with the reduction using a ceramic brush.
– If a life-like incisal third is desired, various materials maybe combined and layered.
– Once the tooth shape has been completed, allow the ceramic material to dry for a short period of time.
– Place veneers and anterior crowns on the honey-comb firing tray with the help of metal pins. Additionally support the
veneers with a small amount of IPS Object Fix.

Finishing and preparing for stain and glaze firing
Before the stain and glaze firing, the restoration has to be finished as follows:
– Finish the restoration using diamonds and give it a true-to-nature shape and surface structure, such as growth lines and
convex/concave areas.
– The areas that are not covered with layering ceramic have to be smoothed out and prepolished using silicone disks in
order to obtain an even gloss on the surface after glaze firing.
Finish the restoration with diamonds and give it a true-to-nature shape and surface structure.
38

Stain and glaze firing with IPS Empress Universal
The stain and glaze firing is carried out using IPS Empress Universal Shade, Stains, and Glaze material. Depending on the
situation, they can be conducted together or one after the other (see pages 26–28 for further details). Before the stain and
glaze firing, the restoration must be free of dirt and grease. Any contamination after cleaning must be prevented.
The following working procedure should be observed:
– Before staining and glazing, clean the restoration with ultrasound in a water bath or using the steam jet.
– To check the shade, wet the inner aspects of the restoration with IPS Empress Universal Glaze and Stain Liquid, position
the restoration on the control die, and check shade and effects.
– Extrude IPS Empress Universal Glazing Paste from the syringe and mix thoroughly.
– Thin the material to the desired consistency using IPS Empress Universal Glaze and Stain Liquid. Do not excessively dilute
the material, since this may render the glazing procedure difficult to control.
– Apply the glazing material a little thicker on areas that are not covered with layering ceramic. In this way, an even gloss
can be achieved.
– The glazing material must not come into contact with the inner aspects of the restoration.
– Avoid pooling and excessively thick glazing material layers.
– Excessively thin glazing material layers result in an unsatisfactory gloss.
– To intensify the dentin shade in the cervical and central crown third, mix the corresponding Shade material and apply it
directly into the unfired glazing material layer.
– Place veneers and anterior crowns on the honey-comb firing tray with the help of metal pins. Additionally support the
veneers with a small amount IPS Object Fix.
Optional
– If the restoration has been optimally prepolished (silky-mat gloss) in the cervical area (not covered with layering ceramic),
the glazing material can be applied in these areas only. The layering ceramic features a true-to-nature gloss without the
glazing materials.
– If a more intensive shade is required in the cervical area, we recommend conducting a separate stain firing.
Clean restoration with ultrasound in a water bath or using the steam jet. Evenly apply the glazing material to the entire outer surfaces of the restoration.
Apply the mixed Shades directly into the unfired glazing material layer. Completely layered IPS Empress CAD crown and veneer fabricated in the cut-back technique.

IPS Empress Add-On 770 °C/1418 °F is available.
Procedure:
– Before the adjustment, the restoration must be free from dirt and grease. For that purpose, thoroughly clean the
restoration using the steam jet.
– Mix IPS Empress Add-On 770 °C / 1418 °F to a workable consistency. Make sure that the add-on material and liquid are
evenly mixed so that an optimum firing result can be achieved.
– Apply the mixed add-on material on the cleaned, desired areas using a brush and slightly blot them with an absorbent
cloth.
– Position the adjusted restoration on the firing tray and fire in the ceramic furnace.
– After firing, manually polish the supplemented areas to a high gloss.

General Information
Preparing for cementation
Conditioning of the ceramic surface in preparation for cementation is decisive for generating a sound bond between the
luting material and the all-ceramic restoration.The following working procedure should be observed:
– Leucite-reinforced glass-ceramic materials are generally etched with IPS Ceramic Etching Gel and subsequently silanated
using Monobond-S.

Conventional cementation and blasting of finished IPS Empress CAD restoration is contraindicated!
41

Firing parameters
Firing of leucite-reinforced glass-ceramic restorations
– Always use the honey-comb firing tray to fire the restorations.
- Support inlays, onlays, and partial crowns with a firing pillow and place them on the honey-comb firing tray.
- Place veneers as well as anterior and posterior crowns on metal pins and position them on the honey-comb firing tray.
- As an alternative to the firing pillow and to better secure the restoration on the metal pins (particularly with veneers), a
small amount of IPS Object Fix may also be used.
- The firing temperatures must be observed at all times. Increasing the firing temperature will result in severe vitrification
between the framework and the veneering ceramic, which may lead to crack formation later on.
- Depending on the working habits, the glaze and stain firing procedures may also be conducted with a temperature
increase rate of 60 °C/108 °F per minute.
- If a vacuum pump is available, the stain and glaze firing procedures may also be carried out with a vacuum in place.
- Restorations supported with a firing pillow on the honey-comb tray are exposed to less heat due to their lower position
in the firing chamber. In order to achieve a true-to-nature gloss nonetheless, it is recommended to extend the holding
time from 1 minute to 2 minutes.
- The firing parameters specified in this Instructions for Use are coordinated with the Ivoclar Vivadent ceramic furnaces
(tolerance range ±10 °C/18°F).
– If furnaces other than those from Ivoclar Vivadent are used, temperature adjustments may be necessary.
– These firing parameters represent standard values applicable to the ceramic furnaces from Ivoclar Vivadent.The
temperatures indicated also apply to furnaces of older generations, e.g. P20, P90, P95, P80, P100, P200. If one of these
furnaces is used, however, the temperatures may deviate by ± 10°C/18°F, depending on the age and type of the heating
muffle..
– If a non-Ivoclar Vivadent furnace is used, temperature corrections may be necessary.
– Regional differences in the power supply or the operation of several electronic devices by means of the same circuit
may render adjustments of the firing and press temperatures necessary.

IPS
Empress
– el Original
Hace más de 20 años, IPS Empress revolucionó el tratamiento de la cerámica y gracias
a sus muchas ventajas, tales como la estética, IPS Empress se ha convertido en el
"punto de referencia". Se han realizado más de 33 millones de restauraciones de IPS
Empress en todo el mundo y el uso de "IPS Empress" como sinónimo de cerámica sin
metal, habla de un aspecto natural y duradero, un éxito continuo y el alto estándar de
calidad del material.
En el campo de la cerámica sin metal, además de la tecnología de INYECCIÓN de
probada calidad, también se ha desarrollado la tecnología CAD/CAM. Con el fin de
convertir también a esta tecnología en el punto de referencia, el futuro sistema IPS
Empress, incluirá productos para ambas tecnologías de trabajo. Seremos capaces de
aprovecharnos de esos 20 años de experiencia clínica y de una convincente estética,
independientemente de si la restauración esté realizada con la técnica de INYECCIÓN o
CAD/CAM.
IPS Empress Esthetic se aplica con la tecnología de INYECCIÓN, mientras que
IPS Empress CAD lo hace con la tecnología CAD /CAM. Ambos materiales se com-
ponen de cerámica de vidrio reforzada con leucita altamente estética, probada clínica-
mente durante muchos años. Las dos cerámicas se caracterizan por unos excelentes
valores de resistencia y un extraordinario aspecto estético. De esta manera, se pueden
utilizar para la elaboración de restauraciones unitarias totalmente estéticas, tales como
inlays, onlays, carillas y coronas.
Por consiguiente, ambos productos se pueden maquillar y/o glasear utilizando
IPS Empress Universal Shades/Stains, o realizar estratificaciones individualmente,
utilizando la cerámica de estratificación, IPS Empress Esthetic Veneer.
De esta manera, el sistema IPS Empress seguirá siendo sinónimo de restauraciones de
cerámica sin estructura metálica totalmente anatómicas y altamente estéticas.

Información de Producto
Material
IPS Empress CAD se utiliza para la elaboración de restauraciones
unitarias anatómicas y altamente estéticas por medio de la tec-
nología CAD/CAM.
Los bloques IPS Empress CAD están fabricados con cerámica de
vidrio reforzada con leucita, que se compone de una fase de vidrio y
otra cristalina. Los cristales de leucita de pocas micras, crecen de
manera uniforme, en un proceso de fases múltiples, directamente
desde la fase de cristal amorfo. Durante la fabricación de los bloques
y en un proceso totalmente automatizado, el producto semielabora-
do en forma de polvo se prensa hasta obtener dichos bloques, lo
que permite un máximo de homogeneidad. Debido a la diferencia de
los coeficientes de expansión térmica (CET) entre la fase de vidrio y la
fase cristalina (leucita), el enfriamiento después de la sinterización
produce una resistencia a la compresión en la fase de vidrio. Este
mecanismo tiene como resultado un aumento de la resistencia y
permite que IPS Empress CAD consiga una resistencia a la flexión de
160 MPa. El éxito de este tipo de material ha sido probado durante
20 años. Las restauraciones fresadas presentan una gran precisión de
ajuste y una superficie homogénea. Por consiguiente, las restaura-
ciones pueden maquillarse utilizando IPS Empress Universal Stains y/o
estratificaciones utilizando IPS Empress Esthetic Veneer.
