Is IPS e.max Press suitable for the fabrication of 3-unit bridges up to the first molar as the abutment?
The material can be used for 3-unit bridges from the first premolar to the first molar as abutment. However, the molar must
be given a fully anatomical design and connector dimensions of 20 mm2 (IPS Connector C6) must be observed. ( top of page)

Is IPS e.max Press suitable for the fabrication of fully anatomical crowns?
IPS e.max Press can be used for fully anatomical crowns. However, the opacity of the ingots somewhat
limits the aesthetic results. This fact must be considered during the fabrication. ( top of page)

Is IPS e.max Press suitable to press-over Captek or other metal frameworks?
IPS e.max Press cannot be pressed-over Captek and other metal frameworks, since the
corresponding CTE values are not coordinated with each other. ( top of page)

Can IPS Empress Universal Shades, Stains and Glaze be used for IPS e.max Press?
IPS Empress Universal Shades, Stains, and Glaze have been especially developed for the IPS
Empress System and thus cannot be used for IPS e.max products. ( top of page)

Can IPS e.max Alox plungers also be used for IPS Empress?
IPS e.max Alox plungers are exclusively for the IPS e.max System and the corresponding investment ring system specifically developed
for this purpose. Since the diameter has been increased, the Alox plunger would not fit into the IPS Empress investment ring system. ( top of page)

Can the IPS e.max Alox Plunger Separator also be used for other pressed ceramics, such as IPS Empress Esthetic?
The IPS e.max Alox Plunger Separator can only be used for IPS e.max Press and IPS e.max ZirPress ingots, since the press temperature
of the IPS Empress Esthetic ingots of 1075°C (1967°F) is too high and results in the Separator losing its effect. ( top of page)

Can other press furnaces be used to press IPS e.max Press ingots?
IPS e.max Press is specifically coordinated with the Ivoclar Vivadent press furnaces (EP 500, EP 600, and EP 600 Combi).
If other press furnaces are used, the parameters have to be adjusted accordingly by the user. ( top of page)

May IPS e.max Press frameworks be blasted using Al2O3 after completion (on the cavity side)?
IPS e.max Press restorations must not be sand blasted prior to cementation, since this would damage the
ceramic surface and alter its properties. Prepare the internal surfaces by etching. ( top of page)

May IPS e.max Ceram Margin materials also be used for IPS e.max Press?
IPS e.max Ceram Margin materials must not be used on the glass-ceramic materials (IPS e.max Press and CAD),
since the firing temperatures are too high and the reduction for the shoulder would weaken the restoration. ( top of page)

Can IPS e.max Press restorations also be conventionally cemented?
IPS e.max Press restorations may be either adhesively or conventionally cemented. For conventional cementation, however, an appropriately
retentive preparation design must be observed. If this is not possible, adhesive cementation, e.g. with Variolink¨ II and Multilink¨ should be used.
Vivaglass CEM is available for conventional cementation. We advise against the use of traditional phosphate cements, since they negatively
influence the light transmission through the all-ceramic and compromise the aesthetic appearance of the all-ceramic restorations. ( top of page)
