E-MAXX technology imitates the appearance of natural teeth

Dentistry CPD (Continuous Professional Development) provides over 2000 courses covering various aspects of dentistry. It is free to register with and has already got thousands of industry experts on board.

Some of the features on the platform are video lectures, PDP planning tools and live webinars. These are just a few of the many opportunities Dentistry CPD has to offer.

Vision Dental Laboratory, based in Scotland, has proven how E- MAX, which are crowns manufactured from lithium desilicated ceramic, can be both durable and give the same appearance as natural teeth.

Ivoclar’s IPS E- MAX pressable ingots and E- MAX Ceram both show the dental industry how you can have the best of both worlds with both beautiful aesthetics and product flexibility.

Previously a patient had received a badly fitting porcelain bonded crown at UR1. It had been clinically restored multiple times in the past. The crown’s bad formation and unrealistic shade meant that the tooth stood out a mile, looking completely different and out of place in the patient’s mouth.

It has been arranged for this individual to have a conversation with a dental technician to be given advice and undergo shade matching as well as shooting a ‘before’ picture prior to the operation. The most crucial factor during the consultation was to make sure the features and appearance of their natural teeth were observed so it could be mimicked.
