The expansion of dental ceramics began in the 19th century but it was only around the 1970s that efforts started being directed toward creating teeth that looked undisguisable from real-looking teeth, with the ultimate objective of creating the ideal combination between dental restorations and aesthetics. With ceramic dentistry mainly being used for single tooth restorations, the discovery and thereby introduction of a newly found crystal structure, opened up an array of possibilities. Launched in 2005, the IPS e max system remains one of the greatest innovations within this field, covering a multitude of dental restorations it also has the advantage of working great with CAD or CAM technology, meshing great with modern digital techniques designed to accompany dental ceramics. Due to the efficiency of this system and the progress within the field of dental ceramics, IPS e max crowns have become extremely popular and are among the most expensive types of crowns in dentistry.
Made out of e mac material, more precisely, this specific component is made from a large block of lithium disilicate thus forming a uniquely light material or chemical compound. Durable, strong, and aesthetically pleasing, IPS e max crowns aren’t known as the best for any reason, they’re your best option when looking at dental restoration and, are widely used for front teeth restorations due to their aesthetic qualities. Although there have been some incidents when trying to install multiple units of this crown on posterior teeth, these still remain a great choice for both front and back tooth restorations. As previously mentioned, dental ceramics have evolved along with the advancements in technology thus, getting an e max crown in a single session is now possible. CAD and CAM technology create a beautiful crown that combines, esthetics and fortitude making covering damaged, stained, or disfigured teeth.
The favorable aspects this crown brings don’t stop there, they can be used for a wide range of restorations like posterior crowns, veneers, inlays, onlays, screw-retained dental implant crowns, and three-unit anterior bridges while requiring minimalistic preparation making them fully worth the investment. Costing around one thousand and a hundred to, a thousand and six hundred throughout the U.S. (pricing will be affected by a number of factors such as location, the experience of the dentist, teeth size, and so on) IPS e max crowns are a great and relatively affordable alternative to zirconia-based restorations for example and, are among if the not the best crown for restorations in the anterior region. When aware of all of these factors it comes with no surprise to learn that IPS e-max crowns are quickly rising in popularity and will no doubt soon become one of the most popular crowns.
