An introduction to the IPS e.max® System with a practical workshop working with the new IPS e.max Press and CAD MT ingots and blocks and the IPS e.max Multi "Polychromatic" Press Ingots.

IPS e.max Ceram is a low-fusing nano fluorapatite glass ceramic when used in combination with IPS e.max CAD and Press materials outstanding aesthetic results can be achieved.

The easy handling properties and aesthetic potential make working with this material an extraordinary experience.

Patients and dentists increasingly demand all-ceramic or metal-free restorations which cannot be distinguished from natural teeth. The challenge is to mimic natural aesthetics and shading at the highest level. Therefore, this course focuses on establishing a customised layering and staining concept for the IPS e.max System utilising the new ingots that are now available.
