INTRODUCTION
There have been significant technological advances in
the field of dental ceramics over the last 10 years which
have made a corresponding increase in the number of
materials available. Improvements in strength, clinical
performance, and longevity have made all ceramic
restorations more popular and more predictable

DEFINITION FOR DENTAL CERAMICS⁶
An inorganic compound with non metallic properties typically
consisting of oxygen and one or more metallic or semi
metallic elements (e.g ;Aluminium, Calcium, Lithium,
Mangnesium, Potassium, Sodium, Silicon, Tin , Titanium And
Zirconium)that is formulated to produce the whole or part of
a ceramic based dental prosthesis

History
• Early 1990 - pressable glass ceramic(ips impress) containing
approximately 34 vol% leucite was introduced that provide a
strength and marginal adaptation similar to dicor glass
ceramic but do not require no specialized crystallization
treatment
• They are not indicated to produce FPD

![Page 14: Pressable ceramics](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022013102/55a77e2e1a28abc9668b48a4/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
• Late 1990- Ips Empress 2 more fracture resistant with 70 vol %
Lithia Disilcate crystal was introduced
• used for 3 unit FPD up to premolar
• The fracture toughness of Ips Empress 2 glass ceramic(3.3mpa
m⅟2)is 2.5 times grater than that of Ips Empress glass ceramic
(1.3 mpa m⅟2)

plunger pushes the molding
compound through the
sprue in to the preheated
mould cavity
• The mold remain closed
until the material inside is
cured or cooled

die by a transfer molding process overcame the limits and
firing shrinkage of conventionally produced aluminous
porcelain jacket crown.
• On firing transformation produces Magnesium Aluminate
spinel which occupies a greater volume than the original
mixed oxides compensate for the conventional firing
shrinkage

FABRICATION
• The crown or inlay was waxed and placed on a specially
designed cylindrical crucible former and invested using a
phosphate-bonded investment.
• The mold was heated in a burnout furnace to 850°C.
• The cylindrical opening into the mold was filled with a ceramic
ingot and an Al₂O₃ pushing rod.
• The assembly was then placed into the preheated furnace
38
![Page 39: Pressable ceramics](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022013102/55a77e2e1a28abc9668b48a4/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
• The inlays must be waxed
and placed on a specially
designed cylindrical crucible
former
• Ceramic ingots are
preshaded and
precerammed.
• For the inlay technique,
translucent material is used.

![Page 40: Pressable ceramics](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022013102/55a77e2e1a28abc9668b48a4/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
• After filling the cylindrical opening with an already
preheated ceramic ingot and an AL₂O₃ pushing rod, the cast
must be placed into the preheated Empress furnace.
• The aluminium oxide pushing rod is used to transfer the
pressure to the ceramic material
40
![Page 41: Pressable ceramics](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022013102/55a77e2e1a28abc9668b48a4/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
• After the press procedure, the inlays are devested and
prepared for further treatments
41
![Page 42: Pressable ceramics](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022013102/55a77e2e1a28abc9668b48a4/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
• The occlusal surface and the inner surface can be covered
with a thin layer of surface stains. The occlusal surface will be
covered with a glaze
42
![Page 43: Pressable ceramics](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022013102/55a77e2e1a28abc9668b48a4/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
• Inlays can be made more simply and have good marginal
integrity when placed
43
![Page 44: Pressable ceramics](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022013102/55a77e2e1a28abc9668b48a4/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
• The main advantage of the IPS-Empress system is that through the
injection-molding process, which involves the use of heat and
pressure,
• The leucite crystals incorporated in the material create barriers that
counteract the buildup of the tensile stresses that predispose to
formation of micro cracks.
• Thus the added leucite crystals improve flexural strength and
fracture resistance through so-called dispersion strengthening.
44
![Page 45: Pressable ceramics](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022013102/55a77e2e1a28abc9668b48a4/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
• The crystals act as “roadblocks” in preventing crack
propagation, so that the restoration does not undergo
catastrophic failure during function.
• In addition, the combination of heat and pressure used in the
casting process reduces the amount of ceramic shrinkage and
results in higher flexural strength.
45
![Page 46: Pressable ceramics](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022013102/55a77e2e1a28abc9668b48a4/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)

IPS e.max is an all-ceramic system that consists of the
following five components:
• • IPS e.max Press (lithium Disilcate glass-ceramic ingot for the
press technique)
• • IPS e.max ZirPress (fluorapatite glass-ceramic ingot for the
press-on technique)
• • IPS e.max CAD (lithium Disilcate glass-ceramic block for the
CAD/CAM technique)
• • IPS e.max Zircon (zirconium oxide block for the CAD/CAM
technique)
• • IPS e.max Ceram (fluorapatite veneering ceramic)

INGOTS
• IPS e.max Press is a lithium Disilcate glass ceramic ingot for
use with the press Technique
• The ingots are available in two degrees of opacity

• These ingots have been developed on the basis of a lithium silicate
glass ceramic .
• The ingots are produced by bulk casting.
• A continuous manufacturing process based on glass technology
(casting/pressing procedure) is utilized in the manufacture of the
ingots.
• This new technology uses optimized processing parameters, which
prevent the formation of defects (pores, pigments, etc) in the bulk
of the ingot.

MICROSTRUCTURE
• The microstructure of IPS e.max Press consists of lithium
Disilcate crystals (approx. 70%), which are embedded in a
glassy matrix.
• Lithium Disilcate, the main crystal phase, consists of needle-
like crystals
• The crystals measure 3 to 6 μm in length.

• The strength values of IPS e.max Press and IPS Empress2,
which are higher than IPS Empress, are attributable to the
composition of these materials (lithium disilicate crystals).

FRACTURE STRENGTH OF ANTERIOR BRIDGES
• The fatigue strength of IPS e.max Press by far surpasses the
maximum load that may be exerted on the material under
natural conditions.
• It can be assumed that three-unit anterior bridges made of
IPS e.max Press are long lastingly resistant to fracture, if
constructed according to the Instructions for Use

FRACTURE STRENGTH OF THREE-UNIT POSTERIOR BRIDGES
• The highest fracture strength was measured for anatomically
pressed bridges.
• The fracture strength of veneered frameworks is higher than
that of frameworks without veneering.
• This increase in fracture load may be attributed to the size of
the cross-section, which is larger in veneered frameworks
than in non-veneered ones.
