IPS Empress CAD blocks mimic the appearance and function of natural dentition. Choose between two levels of translucency, (HT) High Translucency and (LT) Low Translucency, to perfectly match the esthetic requirements of your case design.

High Translucency The IPS Empress CAD HT blocks feature high translucency, replicating the more translucent enamel layers of natural dentition. HT Blocks are ideal to use when restoring intracoronal restorations (inlays, onlays, and select veneers), where the natural translucency of the blocks allows the shade of the surrounding tooth structure to influence and complement the shade, resulting in the ‘chameleon’ effect.

HT

LT HIGHLIGHTS • High Translucency • Ideal for intracoronal partial coverage restorations (inlays, onlays) • Outstanding chameleon effect • Inlays and Onlays

IPS Empress® CAD possible shade and size combinations

Low Translucency The IPS Empress CAD LT blocks feature lower translucency and are ideal for use with most full coverage restorations (full crowns, large partial coverage restorations and select veneers). Because they are less translucent, they appear higher in value, therefore resulting in a brighter looking restoration.

A variety of characterization options Your IPS Empress CAD restorations can be characterized according to the individual requirement of your patients. As a result you can utilize simple steps to achieve extraordinary esthetics with IPS Empress CAD. INTERNAL SHADING A basic internal characterization can be achieved using Tetric速 Color.

Simply apply a thin layer on the desired internal area and then light cure. Tetric Color should be applied after etching and silanating.

EXTERNAL SHADING A more refined characterization can be obtained when using IPS Empress Universal Shades and Stains.

Shade/Stain application can be combined with Glazing in a one-step technique, then rapidly fired using the Programat速 CS furnace.

CUT-BACK & LAYER The most esthetic technique involves layering porcelain over the milled IPS Empress CAD restoration. This allows you to obtain a range of translucencies and colors. This can be achieved using the IPS Empress Esthetic Veneering Materials and requires a cut-back technique that combines wash pastes, layering porcelains and glaze.

POLISH & GLAZE The IPS Empress CAD Multi blocks offer a multiplicity of translucencies and a fusion of color embedded in a single block. The dental professional simply finishes the restoration by polishing or glazing it.
