General information

CAD IPS Empress – the Original IPS Empress has been established as the “gold standard“ In the processing of ceramic.

In addition to the proven PRESS technology, the CAD/CAM technology has also developed in the area of all ceramics.

The products IPS Empress Esthetic and IPS Empress CAD are available for these processing technologies.

The two ceramics are characterized by excellent strength values and outstanding aesthetic appearance.

Both products may subsequently be stained and/or glazed using IPS Empress Universal Shade/Stains or individually veneered using IPS Empress Esthetic Veneer layering ceramic.

CAD Product information - Material



IPS Empress CAD is made out of Leucitereinforced glass-ceramic which consists of a glass and a crystal phase.



Leucite crystals of few microns homogeneoulsy grow in a multi-stage process directly from the amorphous glass phase.



The small size the homogeneous distribution of crystals provides strength to the material and enamel-like wear and translucency.

CAD General information – Prepairing for cementation

Conditioning of the ceramic surface in preparation for cementation is decisive for generating a sound bond between the bonding material and the all-ceramic restoration.

Leucite-reinforced glass-ceramic materials are generally etched with IPS Ceramic Etching Gel and subsequently silanated using Monobond-S.

General information

CAD General information – Firing parameters Firing of leucite-reinforced glass-ceramic restorations 

Always use the honey-comb firing tray to fire the restorations.



Support inlays, onlays, and partial crowns with a firing pillow and place them on the honey-comb firing tray.



Place veneers as well as anterior and posterior crowns on metal pins and position them on the honey-comb firing tray.



As an alternative to the firing pillow and to better secure the restoration on the metal pins (particularly with veneers), a small amount of IPS Object Fix may also be used.



The firing temperatures must be observed at all times. Increasing the firing temperature will result in severe vitrification between the framework and the veneering ceramic, which may lead to crack formation later on.

CAD General information – Firing parameters Firing of leucite-reinforced glass-ceramic restorations - Continuation 

Depending on the working habits, the glaze and stain firing procedures may also be conducted with a temperature increase rate of 60 °C/108 °F per minute.



If a vacuum pump is available, the stain and glaze firing procedures may also be carried out with a vacuum in place.



Restorations supported with a firing pillow on the honey-comb tray are exposed to less heat due to their lower position in the firing chamber. In order to achieve a true-to-nature gloss nonetheless, it is recommended to extend the holding time from 1 minute to 2 minutes.



The firing parameters specified in this Instructions for Use are coordinated with the Ivoclar Vivadent ceramic furnaces (tolerance range ±10 °C/18°F).



If furnaces other than those from Ivoclar Vivadent are used, temperature adjustments may be necessary.
