IPS Empress® 

Method
In the IPS Empress system, the restoration with all its functional specifications is modeled in wax.  Once the wax restoration has been invested and burned out, the heated, softened ceramic is pressed into the mould.

Material
The ceramic is based on glass that contains latent nucleating agents.  In a process comprising several stages, controlled crystillization is used to produce leucite crystals, measuring a few microns in the glass Matrix.

The semi-finished product of leucite-reinforced ceramic powder is pressed into ingots and sintered.  These ingots are the basic components from which dental technicians press restorations.

Advantages

• Outstanding esthetics
  -For perfect integration into the natural environment.  For restorations to blend with natural teeth.

• Excellent fit because of new thermoplastic processing
  -For accurately fitting restorations with optimum marginal seal.

• Very strong crowns, veneers, and inlays/onlays
  -For long-lasting restorations on which patients can rely

• Biocompatible ceramic material
  -For avoiding gingival trauma.

• IPS Empress Ceramic wears almost like tooth enamel

IPS Empress®2

The IPS Empress® 2 System is comprised of two new and distinctly different ceramic materials.  The framework material of IPS Empress2 is composed of lithium disilicate, and a fluorapatite ceramic used in the layering phase of the fabrication of the restorations.  These new materials provide more than three times the strength of the original IPS Empress, thus expanding the indications for use.  The new IPS Empress2 material provides strength and esthetics for single-unit crowns and three-unit bridges.  The original IPS Empress materialcontinues to be indicated for esthetic inlays, onlays, and veneers.
