Expanded options, new materials from Ivoclar Vivadent

IPS e.max CAD, lithium disilicate glass-ceramic block, is now available in additional sizes to expand options and indications, including bridges.

In addition to I12 and C14, the larger C16 size block is available for full-contour, single-unit restorations with large vertical dimensions, such as large canines or crowns over custom abutments.

It is available in the nine most popular A–D shades (A1, A2, A3, A3.5, B1, B2, C1, C2, D2) and one bleach shade (BL2) in the LT translucency.

Additionally, the new IPS e.max B32 block is recommended for the fabrication of three-unit monolithic bridges in the second premolar and forward region.

It is also available in the nine most popular A–D shades (A1, A2, A3, A3.5, B1, B2, C1, C2, D2) and one bleach shade (BL2) in the LT translucency.

The wide array of clinical options combined with high esthetics, in addition to the more than 10 years of clinical success, makes IPS e.max CAD an ideal choice for permanent, E4D-fabricated restorations, according to the company.

Telio CAD has been recently launched for E4D to create temporary crowns and bridges. Telio CAD is an acrylate polymer block that features physical properties that exceed traditional provisional materials as well as esthetics comparable to permanent CAD/CAM restorations.

This provisional CAD/CAM material eliminates the need for traditional impressions and allows for a streamlined process using the digital scans taken by the E4D system.

Telio CAD is available in two block sizes (B40L and B55) and six shades (BL3, A1, A2, A3, A3.5, B1). The combination of physical properties and esthetics make Telio CAD an ideal temporary restorative material for implants and other clinical situations requiring long-term temporary placement.
